Empire Auto Group LLC, Stoughton, Massachusetts

On 4/5/16 I bought online via www.greatcarsforsale.com a 2001 GMC Yukon Denali XL with 95212 miles from Empire Auto Group LLC for the sole purpose of pulling a 8000lbs covered trailer. Since the vehicle was located in MA I immediately inquired about whether or not the truck was rusted. I was reassured by the seller (Tigran) that there was NO RUST on the Yukon. After a Bill of Sale was emailed to me, I proceeded to wire Empire Auto Group the asking price of $5000. Few days later, I received the MA Certificate of Title by USPS mail and then the Yukon was delivered to me by transport carrier. Upon reception - especially during my first car wash - I noticed that the vehicle was rusted. Also, since the steering wheel was all crooked (sideways) I proceeded to have the truck aligned... to be told by the mechanic that the truck could not be aligned because the whole front direction/suspension (tie rod ends, etc.) was too rusted. Since the car had a 30 day/1250 miles lemon law warranty, I texted the seller about the problem without any reply. The following day, while trying to remove the rusted tow hitch ball, I could see large pieces or flakes of rusted metal falling from underneath the SUV. I then took a flashlight/cell phone for pictures, and went to check the car under carriage. To my utter dismay, the whole subframe, rear bumper, coil springs supports, etc., was totally rusted through. I took several pictures and texted them to Empire Auto Group. Again, no answer. Following day, I was told by a professional trailer repair welding shop - which examined the Yukon that it should NOT tow anything because it would be extremely dangerous or hazardous to do so. To this day, the seller has refused any repair or to refund my $5000. The case will be brought in front of a MA court. Be very aware that another swindling used car dealership located in Largo, FL called Empire Auto LLC (http://flempireauto.v12soft.com/) is also owned by Tigran Buniatyan and is involved in the same disloyal practices/shenanigans.

The manager (Ashot Minasyan) is a criminal... He is under forced deportation order issued by a US judge...

This is a confirmed info! Somebody who was cheated by him should inform the police.
