Common Questions

Is Lou Fusz Preowned Center Metro East a good dealer?
Lou Fusz Preowned Center Metro East earns a C in the PPI Auto Buyer's Guide. Mixed. Many buyers were happy, but a real share were not. The grade reads 228 public reviews averaging 4.2 stars, with 17.1 percent at one or two stars. It rates past buyers' experience with the dealer, not any single car.
Can I get a car at Lou Fusz Preowned Center Metro East inspected before I buy?
Yes. PPI Auto sends an inspector to the car on the lot in Fairview Heights. You do not have to be there. The inspection covers 122 points, a full OBD-II scan with readiness monitors, a road test and photos of anything found, and the report comes the same day. Ask the dealer to hold the car while it is checked.
How is the grade worked out?
It needs 20 or more public reviews. The star average is pulled toward the national average by 25 average reviews so a short record cannot jump the line, and the share of one and two star reviews sets a ceiling. The full method is on our grading page.
