I WANTED TO RATE ZERO STARS BUT THIS SITE DOESN'T ALLOW FOR IT.
THIS DEALERSHIP IS EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE HATE ABOUT CAR DEALERS!
Buying a car is supposed to be fun but, as usual, and especially these days, everyone is out for every penny...
That being said, the trick the following car dealership pulled has got to be illegal...
Long story short:
? I bought a brand new car from Colorado Chrysler Jeep (350 South Havana in Aurora: Sales Manager = Tim Jones) in late June 2010.
? A week later, the dealership called me in to sign a new, higher rate, finance agreement, even though my first went through fine; I have the original papers to prove this.
? So, this ?bait and switch? issue was an immediate concern; confirmed by an industry lawyer who called this a classic car dealership move...
? Then, my former lien holder captured one extra payment on my trade-in so I naturally called them for a refund because I no longer had that car.
? I found out, by getting a copy of my official payoff note, that this dealer deliberately altered the payoff amount, THREE TIMES, in order to bring it in-line with the agreed upon pay-off amount featured on my 2nd set of Sales Agreement...
I was never notified of these progressively lower amounts and the payoff note does not feature my signature acknowledging these successive changes...again, they altered this document THREE TIMES!?!?!
What the hell?
So, I buy a $40k car and this dealer, aside from being obnoxious when I called them on this issue, has offered no explanation, no credit for this discrepancy, nothing...
I filed full paperwork with the Dealer Board and have made many follow-up calls and still, this case has never been assigned or addressed at all.
? I also forwarded copies of my complaint to the Attorney General?s office, who then forwarded it on to the Dealer Board back in late August 2010...
? I filed with the Federal Trade Commission as well...
I anxiously await further word from the Dearler Board, the Attorney General's Office, and the Secretary of State...
Do yourself a favor and buy from any other dealer but not any of the "Dealin Doug" dealerships until this issue is fully investigated and resolved...can you say CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?...!
