Herb Chambers - Hyundai Of Uburn Salesman offered 10,100.00 for tradein, but wrote 8,500.00on contract. I did not notice till after signed. ripoff Auburn Massachusetts
I was helping my partner Eric G.. Osterberg buy a new Hyundai sonata, and went to kelly blue book to find out tradein value of his 2005 Sonata, which was 10,600.00, Michael Kavorkian the salesman and I came to a verbal agreement of 10,100.00.
Eric signed the papers, not reading or thinking that mr. Kavorkian would pull a fast one and write in the tradein value as 8,500.00.
When I called mr. Kavorkian on it he hemmed and hawed and made absurd excuses.
I believe mr. Kavorkian new that most people do not read all the paperwork, and there was a good chance it would go unnoticed.
I wrote a letter to Dan Bortolussi, whom I believe is the general manager,he is just as avasive as mr. Kavorikan.
I know that legally we do not have a leg to stand on, but I want as many people as possible to know about our experience with this sleezy dealership.

You can put a small display ad in your Newspaper that says this:
GO TO ripoffreport.com and type in HYUNDAI and read my story- HERB CHAMBERS HYUNDAI OF UBURN.
This small ad WILL cost that Dealership THOUSANDS in lost sales. You have the power, just do it!!

And you do seem to agree: "Everyone should read every word of every contract provided by the merchant."
But, unfortunately, if it is YOUR money then YOU must be vigilant and detect WHEN "the merchant/sales person lies and tells you they agree with your trade in price..."
So " ... most merchants I have been involved with do not use this practice." OK! Key word = "MOST". But not THIS particular merchant....right? Am I right? Am I?
"If the consumer is distracted while trying to read the contract..." Well, get yourself "undistracted". Leaving the dealership with the contract UNSIGNED is one effective way to get yourself undistracted. Isn't it? Isn't it?
Remember, Eric, it is your money, so you are always "right".
Your apparent view reminds me of people who will ALWAYS enforce their right-of-way while they are driving....
Are they "right"? Of course they are "right"... and one day they will wind up dead-right.
Have a nice day.........

Everyone should read every word of every contract provided by the merchant. But when the merchant/sales person lies and tells you they agree with your trade in price it is not a mistake or an oversite and most merchants I have been involved with do not use this practice. If the consumer is distracted while trying to read the contract this is intentional.
I strongly disagree with your comments that promote dishonesty in business.

Thomas and I may not always agree, but just because you couldn't be bothered to read what you were signing doesn't mean that most people don't. Your spending a s-load of money here, and you don't even take the time to read what your signing?
Your own fault here.

What are you & Eric going to do for your next purchase ? Maybe READ the paperwork first?

This is just a wild guess on my part, though....... I mean, we all know that car salespeople are inherently honest.... aren't they?
And maybe, just maybe, that poor starving salesman needed that extra $1600 to feed his poor starving family. Feel better now?
