Red Hoagand Pontiac Bradenton, FL

I purchased a used car from Red Hoagland. A month after I bought the vehicle, as I was sitting in my car I noticed a small amount of black tape applied to the glass in the MPH/odometer area. Upon peeling off the tape, I was appalled to find that beneath the black tape was the "service engine" light which was LIT. I then took my car into Red Hoagland and confronted a sales manager with my finding who then explained to me that "sometimes when people trade in a car, they put tape over service lights in order to get a better deal on a trade in". If I am to believe this story, that would mean this car passed their "full inspection" with tape still intact over the engine light. I find it unbelievable that a dealer who knows that these tactics exist, would not look for tape over service lights BEFORE they buy a trade-in and BEFORE they resell it. They offered to service the car at 50% of cost, yet they were 100% at fault. I declined, i do not trust them to service my car in an honest manner.
