Atlanta unique auto sales norcrose,ga Stole my car from a body shop called California customs even though my note was paid up Norcross Georgia
I purchased a soft top 2004 benz clk from atlanta unique auto sales on march 16 2014. I gave them a $5000 down payment after driving from Louisiana to Georgia to get the car. I had my husband check the car because I know car dealers take advantage of women but after test driving it was fine with only 70000 miles.
The first red flag was that they advertise the price at $9999 but when they did the financing they raised the price to $21000. i bought the car anyway and drove all the way back to Louisiana. When I got home I noticed that the soft top was broken as well as the back window. So I called them that day and they said bring it back to atlanta so they could fix it. I was reluctant seeing as how it was an 8 hour drive but when I had a mechanic give me an estimate it was gonna cost over $1000. So I drove back to atlanta only to have them make me wait all day and then tell me that their mechanic wasn't going to come fix it! Needless to say I was highly upset!!!
I waisted my time and gas and the problem was still not fixed. So I paid out of my own pocket and brought the car to a body shop called California customs on manhattan st in Harvey, LA 70058. A couple days after my car was in the shop I get a phone call from California customs and they told me that someone came there with official documents to get my car!!! This happened on April 28, 2014! So they tell me the lien holder which is atlanta unique auto sales came to reposess my car!!
I have only had my car for a month and 12 days I have paid them $5000 for the down payment and paid my car note to them, (in house financing), and they just took my car today from the body shop and brought it back to atlanta!!!! If you decide to do business with this company it is at your own risk! You have been formally warned!!!! Please do not lose your hard earned money like I did!!
I am going to the body shop tomorrow with the police as I have already filed my car as stolen, they closed before I got off from work today and they conviently called me right before they closed. This report is not over!! I will update everyone as the outcome unfolds but please believe they will not get away with this! They are crooks who prey on people who cant attain conventional financing.
Do not i repeat do not do business with atlanta unique auto sales in norcross Ga unless you want to become a victim like me! You have officially been Warned!!!!!!

You seem to be leaving quite a bit off.
First of all if the car was advertised at $9,999 why did you just go ahead and still buy it when they more than doubled it? Next, why if as you stated you test drove it did you NOT notice the broken window and soft top until after your 8 hour drive home?
But then we get to the Reposession. If this business is one you choose, and one that is apparently no where near the dealer you bought the car from, just how in the world did they find out your car was there? Are you saying that for no reason just out of the blue this shop decided to call the lein holder and have them reposess it?
You are also not clear on just how many payments you made(if any). You stated you made the down payment, but I have no idea what "paid my car note to them" means. Does that mean you made all of your scheduled payments for the full amount and on-time?
As for filing a "stolen vehicle" report. Why? They hold the title and are the legal owners of the vehicle. You can not claim that they stole your vehicle..if they own it. Well you can of course claim it..but nothing will come of it. At best if you can prove that they breached the contract, you may be able to go after them in Civil court for any damages incurred.
I will tell you that there is one possibility about how it could be that you got the car reposessed. Perhaps you failed to pay the Custom shop for their repairs and storage fees after the repairs were complete. So they did what was most likely in their legal right...contact the lien holder to take the car back.
