Craigslist revenge, post the truth.
Here is the ad that I posted to craigslist after the guy denied everything.

"Buyer Beware:
I just got totally ripped off by Ari at Direct Auto Outlet.
I bought a 2001 Chevy Tahoe from him and its all gone bad.
The AC went out on the way home. I had it recharged the next day and it was blowing hot the next morning (big leak in the evaporator that will cost $900 to fix).
The battery died on the third day when I was getting the oil changed ($100).
Found coolant in the oil on that oil change. Got it checked out and it needs a new engine ($5600).
The gas gauge not working correctly ($375).
I've put less than 200 miles on it since I got it so now I'm broke and have no way to pay to have it fixed.
I'm out $7400 with nothing to drive. We are devastated and he won't help. He just denies everything.

He had this vehicle on his lot for at least a month so he had to know about at least a few of these problems.
I feel that he is a dishonest sales person and would warn all that are considering buying a vehicle to stay clear of his dealership."


I'd love to protest in front of his dealership but it's 70 miles from here. Doesn't make it impossible, just harder.
I'm thinking about adding his email adress and ask people to send him a note stating "I wouldn't buy a car from your dealership". Maybe if he got enough responses he might change his tone.
