I bought this 93 Ford Aerostar 2 days ago on a Saturday from this young seller. His name is James Joseph Vega. He's 20 yrs old, hispanic, 5'7, skinny frame with really short hair. He lives in Hayward, CA and meets potential buyers at an apartment complex - 39530 Kay Street in Hayward. DO NOT BUY VEHICLES from this guy. He is a liar, thief, and very dishonest. He wrote on the rear windows of the van - his phone #, year/model of vehicle and also stated "just smogged", "just registered" as advertisement. I spent about 45mins to test drive vehicle and look over the paperwork he provided. It was a vehicle he just bought from San Francisco Auto Auction, so the paperwork was a few pages. I asked him many questions before handing over the money, I even ran a carfax. Carfax came out clean. Assuming it was ok, I took possession of the van and he was paid. He guaranteed me verbally that all I had to do was change title to my name a pay transfer fee and that's it. Well that wasn't all. I had to pay overdue registration fees, smog check and god knows what is next on this vehicle. I dont mind paying the repairs since it is an old vehicle, but I am upset that he lied to me. I now know not to ever believe sellers who don't have the actual current registration paperwork from dmv. This is the first and last time I will buy a car with auction paperwork, it is so confusing. I just want the fees back and the principle of this matter to be known to potential buyers from this crook. He needs to reimburse me and be taken to jail or heavily fined to teach him a lesson.
