Dealership is in trouble

Post by IceCold »

So the dealership said they were going to pay the difference between the two loans. Kewl in think. Wrong. Just to be safe I sent the new loan paper to my lawyer and he said absolutely do not sign the new loan. Apparently the put the difference of the two loans that they were going to pay in the downpayment section of the loan. Only we didnt pay the much down. So apparently the bank would have billed us more for the car because the dealership never got that much downpayment from us. That just pisses me off. So were pressing charges now. The dealership is in violation of the MICHIGAN CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT (EXCERPT) Act 331 of 1976 (445.903 Unfair, unconscionable, or deceptive methods, acts, or practices in conduct of trade or commerce; rules). Once we start sueing, there will be NO negotiating. If we have to sue them were going after everything we can possible get. Previous thread ---> http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=6104

good luck. I predict a free vibe in your future minus court costs your time and suffering...(maybe punitive damages to cover all furthur mods to the vibe?)

I believe it was a used Lancer. Good luck. Make sure you know exactly what you want and what it will take to make it all right.

wow! sorry to hear that. good thing you had your atty take a look. i doubt you will get a free car from it, but hopefully the cost and hassle of paying legal fees will give them a second thought before they try that again on someone else. who knows, maybe they'll want to settle out of court. i'm sure they've done this many times to many other consumers, that didn't know any better.

yeah not counting on getting the car for free. Best case scenerio would be getting it at dealer cost. For the record too the car is a new Lancer not a Vibe. I have my Vibe and love it but this is the girls car but I have to do all the dirty work. There is only a few states (Florida and Texas I believe) that allows the bank to withdraw the loan without any proof of not paying.
