Decent Used Cars, if you have no other options due to Credit Score

I’m straight up, don’t like to feel that I’m trying to be “sold” on something. If I want something, I want that SPECIFIC thing & nothing else. First, I go in to look at a specific car YET when I sit down the representative says “So, you’re interested in sedans?” NO, I’m not interested in “Sedans” I know exactly which vehicle I want & won’t give you my money for any other one on the lot so don’t waste my time. This was my very first experience purchasing a used car from a party that wasn’t private, honestly I don’t see the difference in this place being a “business”. I’ve purchased vehicles from private parties that at least have factory items, such as the VIN sticker on the driver side door panel which this car did not. When messaging Dexter about condition of tires, he says “The tires are in good shape & shouldn’t need to be replaced anytime soon” BS, are you not aware of the MN winters? Apparently he thinks tires that have pieces of rubber missing is “good shape”. I’d say just by looking at them, rims & tires will need to be replaced. I’ve also purchased vehicles from private parties that were in slightly better cosmetic condition overall. Driver door won’t stay open, when the concern was brought up it was simply brushed off “oh, but mechanically the car is good”. So what? That’s not the concern I brought up. Also, another guy working there mentioned something along the lines of “I like how these drive, have you driven one, they drive like BMWs” C’mon apparently you’ve never driven a BMW & if so not a proper one if you think the car sold to me drives like a BMW. I know used cars won’t be perfect, guess I’ve just had better experiences with the cosmetics of cars purchased from private parties. Lucky thing they offer a five business day(plus Saturday) “buyers remorse” window for you to bring the vehicle back. Plan on having it inspected by an authorized brand dealership first thing Monday morning when they open at 6:30am.
