ADAMSON FORD ripoff BIRMINGHAM Alabama
I should be able to return to any automobile dealer that I have purchased a vehicle from and receive service by them in "good faith." That is the ethical way to do business in the USA. I should not have to wonder if I am going to be ripped off.

What are the proper requirements to tranfer title to a buyer in Alabama?

I sent the following letter to the State of Alabama Motor Vehicle Division:
Is it a requirement in the State of Alabama for the dealer to include the Dealer's Affidavit with the title application form at the time of puchase of an automobile in order for the buyer to properly obtain title of the car, and be able to buy the automobile tag?
I am currently waiting on their response. I will include it here when I recieve it.

Car Dealers do some deceptive/fraudulent things, but I'm not sure this is one of them. If the dealer altered numbers AFTER you signed, or signed your name, then the dealer deserves to be charged criminally.
However, if all the charges were in plain english on the contract, and YOU SIGNED the contract, then where is your "good faith" in honoring a deal you signed?
In any contract, price is an agreed-upon term. If, after you sign, you do not like the deal, it is too late. You gave your promise to buy, and the dealer gave their promise to sell. End of story.
How would you like it if the dealer came knocking on your door after the contract was signed and requested the car back for no reason other than the dealer thinks that it can make a better deal? Not legal and not going to happen.
There are people on this site that are truely ripped off. You are not one of them.

Car dealer and good faith do not go togeather. If they can, any card dealer will screw you royally. They can't help themselves. And, it isn't a color thing either. They DON'T CARE what color you are. They screw EVERYONE equally. The only way to protect yourself is to be armed with all the information that you'll need BEFORE you go into a car dealer. It's like studing for a test BEFORE you take the test, not after. Know what your trade-in is really worth.
Know what the best, lowest price around is on A particular vehicle. Have your financing lined up before going to the dealer. You can save yourself 3 to 7% off of what they offer you. I've found that contacting several dealers on the internet before going in is a big help. Car dealers hate smart shoppers. Just because you got a "good" or "fair" deal one time, doesn't ever mean you'll get the same again. Car dealers change personnel on a monthly basis. For years I've been going with my Dad to help him buy his cars. Last year he went to north park lincoln merc without me. I asked him what he paid for his grand marquis and he says 22k with his trade-in. I said Dad, they're selling 'em in the paper for 22k. They got his 98 gran marquis with 60k miles for f***ing free.
