LOR Motorcars Owner Says Used Ford Focus Returned Needing New Engine and Transmission

Riley Pinney, owner of LOR Motorcars in Pinellas Park, Florida, said a used Ford Focus he sold about a year ago was towed to his shop without a key and required both a new engine and a new transmission.

Pinney posted a video on his TikTok account @autosavantt recounting the sale after meeting the buyer at a T‑Mobile store, and said the buyer chose the Ford Focus over a Toyota RAV4 despite Pinney steering him toward the RAV4. He said he offered a warranty that covered the engine and transmission but not wear-and-tear.

Pinney said the buyer returned several times with issues and that he cut the customer a deal when the buyer lacked funds. He said the customer later canceled the warranty, sought a refund, and then brought the car back nearly a year later; Pinney provided quotes for engine and transmission replacement and his TikTok post has more than 20,500 views.
