Yes, in fact I do....but not Perillo's on any of those counts. There are people who have had good experiences with them. But there is more than enough evidence to tell me that I don't feel like playing against the known odds with $30k. You may choose differently and that is your right. The OP asked for an opinion....mine is to stay away. I reserve the right to say I told you so later.

Put it this way, do you rate certain dealership's service dept's better than others? Assuming the answer is no, wouldn't it be fair to say that it is less likely that the worse service departments provide the same level of attention to detail when certifying a car?

so in the gen forum, someone apparently researched the car....it has had two hpfp issues and is clearly a lemon buy back....so much for Perillo's quality...

So let's examine the known (degrees of veracity unverified):

1. Perillo is shady
2. Perillo's service dept, even by those who support them is spotty thus their certification is worthless
3. The car has 2 known HPFP failures within the first 11k miles of its in-service
4. Its a lemon buy back
5. It has obviously been modded

Yet, it is probably priced higher than market even for a clean car....

Explain to me again why you are still interested in this car?

Look, I know it's harsh, but honestly I am only trying to help you. How many other negative's are you willing to accept? If so, why even bother soliciting opinions at all? You can find a comperable car, priced better, at a better dealership elsewhere....

Post #10 a guy posts his option lists for his car, and post 11 shows the VIN of the car you're looking at.

A search of the guy's username in post #10 brings you here
