Xtreme Motorwerks

Wanted an SRT-4 but none were available in Kansas City so I trusted this dealership and made the trip out to Chicago to purchase a silver neon from them. Little did I know the pistons were already fried in it and the motor completely blew with 0 compression 400 miles later. The dealership blamed it on the fact that I didn't get a tune, but you shouldn't have to dump $500+ on a car you just purchased... They acted like they cared but didn't truly have any intention on making anything right or helping with repairs. Cool dealership, but have a local mechanic go over the car first. Save yourself a major headache and a motor swap. P.S. The dealership is going to respond with a message putting the blame on someone else, just like they have in the below posts from others. Or they'll say they had it inspected by a "trusted source". They knew it couldn't make it a long distance trip. But they're greedy and I overpaid for a car they knew was in poor mechanical shape. Please, they sell some really cool cars. And no disrespect to what they do, but they do some trash stuff, example above^. Have it inspected by someone you trust. Not them. After reading their response they mentioned a "driving it hard scenario". I couldn't drive it hard because it couldn't hold boost due to either fuel cut or blowout and I couldn't even press the gas more than a quarter throttle without cut as well. It also leaked an entire quart of oil onto the road during the trip. All the proof is in text form between me and the dealer. They're just trying to do cover up damage control.
