Critz Buick And GmcCritz Incorporated ripoff and humiliation Savannah Georgia
My husband and I went looking at vehicles so this particular lot we had no intentions of purchasing that day. We explained to David that we would wait some months to get our credit straightened out. He insisted that we could get the vehicle regardless of our very low credit issues.
We allowed him to run the credit anyway and he saw how it was. Then he proceeded in telling us that he could work around our credit. He discussed our issue with his manager.
We worked out an agreement to pay a higher note because we were already aware that we probably had to anyway. It was not the fact that we couldn't afford to pay the higher note it was the credit issue. They said "don't worry you can leave with no money down but your payments will be higher than normal for this vehicle."
I was excited and my husband was also. We left and drove the vehicle for about a week and a half. They called us to come in and Dave had already asked his manager did it have to do with loan approval he said no, he just wanted to clear up some things he saw on our credit. We went in and Dave's manager had people in his office and told us could we come back.
We left in the vehicle again. We came back for them to say the bank would not finance us for the higher rate only for 358 monthly payments in which we could not have the vehicle we were in which was a 2006. He wanted to put us in a 2003. So basically They took the vehicle back and drove us home in it.
I felt betrayed because we signed all the paperwork and we had a binding agreement not only verbally but in writing. I felt humiliated because everyone knew about my vehicle and was excited as I was and to find out they took it back was very dissappointing.

Auto purchase agreements have a lot of fine print on their backsides, and you should take the time to read your purchase agreement VERY carefully for your future reference. Basically, if your financing falls through after you have driven off in the new car, the dealer can force you to accept even less desireable financing terms & if you refuse they can claim you stole the vehicle. Consumer Reports has a lot of auto test, reliability, and buying info in their April issues and they cover many 'ins and outs'.
I buy a new car every 15 years whether I need to or not. I have saved a tremendous amount of money by minimizing vehicle depreciation costs and so we live very well now. I retired at 62 because I felt like it. We have a nice house with a private dock at a large lake.

To add they had the audacity to say "if we had continued to let you drive the vehicle and something happened to it we could have gotten sued" so he admitted right then that they allowed us to drive off the lot and the vehicle had not been financed although they had the creditor on the paperwork as JP Morgan Chase Bank.
