Southwest Kia of Rosenberg - My girlfriend's car was stolen by this dealership

Crazy stuff. I hope you get the car back and they will have to pay dearly.

Back in 1995, there was this law professor at my law school who had sort of a TV show, Alderman or something? Is this guy still there? Maybe also a way to get some publicity.

Oh, and is this guy that calls himself the "tough, smart lawyer" still alive?

 

I found this. Apparently the dealer has the right to cancel a contract within 10 days, which is unbelievable to me.

http://www.calemonlawblog.com/10-day-right-to-cancel-vehicle-purchase-contract/

"Can the car dealer cancel the contract?Yes, but only if the car dealer notifies you with 10 days of the date on the purchase contract.

How is this possible?


It is based on the language of the purchase contract. Look at your purchase contract. That’s the long yellow document that says “RETAIL INSTALLMENT SALES CONTRACT” at the top. Turn to the back of the purchase contract, and find the box that says “Seller’s Right to Cancel.” It is at the bottom of the second column. Car dealers are in the business of selling cars to consumers, not financing cars that consumers buy. So, this box advises you that after you sign the purchase contract and leave with the car, the dealership is going to find a finance company or bank to buy your contract. "

This just lets them pull shady crap like they did with you. Personally, I've had pretty bad experience with dealers. Can't stand them.

 

Dang, that sucks if what Mr.Clutch posted is true.

Hope you make those thieves pay.

 

Was the dealer FFB?

 

Very sorry to hear about this crap, that just disgusts me, makes my blood boil.


I've seen a bit of the car sales business though, and you have to be a real pond scum ****rag to stoop to the level some of these urchins gladly stoop to on a daily basis.

 

Wow, that's nuts. I always thought dealers were sleezy, but this takes it to a new level.

 

Theres a good chance he's just doing it because most of the people he's ****ed over he knows probably don't have the means to afford excellent legal representation to take appropriate steps to sue them.

Everyone who is really a lawyer should call up this doucherat's number and blow up his phone with messages and every one of them should mention how they are part of the Batman Jones all-star team of Lawyers, as they are all working the case Pro Bono because Batman himself asked them to because he's ****ing Batman Jones and they were like "well yeah we'll do it, duh but we better at least get lemonades" and then BJ would be like hell yeah man I'll bring you a big pitcher of lemonade as long as you squeeze this lemon-hocking son of a panda testicle for all he's worth.

 

Glad to oblige man, now I've had far too many drinks and I must sleep.


Hopefully when I wake up, DUKE OF TRUTH has already closed the case with a settlement in the 8 figure range.

That'll show Brett who is the big cheese around the firm.

I found some other non-California sites that said similar stuff, but if it's not in the contract then I don't see how they can get away with it.

Here's another link.

That is why when I buy a car I work out financing with the credit union then just call around the various dealers to find the one with the specs I want in stock.

I let them bid against each other and all I do is make some phone calls. The one that goes the lowest gets a visit from me.

Unfortunately there is no escaping the "other office" where they try to sell you low jack and undercoating or whatever. Jerks.

 

Damn, And my faith in humanity plummets...

 

Did you remind him that the here to for document had dry ink on it for many forknights?

 

Oops, I need to learn how to read.

That "slightly increased" rate was an additional $2,400 for the term of the note. That put you into a possible new car price payments territory, which has chances of a lower APR. Which allows you to get a more expensive car but pay the same amount as you would for a used. In addition, give you the full factory warranty on a new car (the warranties that you were looking at already had a -30,000 miles against them). This goes towards my belief that a new car can be a better value than used. But, that's all contingent on your ability to get a good rate.

The part that I don't understand is that it's not like you got an excellent deal. The 10/100 warranty sounds like a powertrain warranty (eventhough Kia's come with a 10/100 pt warranty). The starting MSRP of a Kia Rio is $12k, it has 30k miles, so drop the money for being used -$2,000, drop the money for having a lot of miles for one year -$1,000. Your total loan payments is $14,280, on 10% that's about $11,500 principal.

It's not a bad deal, but not an excellent deal; unless the warranty is a good bumper to bumper warranty in which case, if the car was nicely equipped it could be a decent deal for you.

My guess it's more of them trying to squeeze more money from HER, since they talked her into more stuff after your left.
