I inquired about a car before the Memorial Day weekend first at Hunter Nissan.  This first car was a 2002 Ford Taurus wagon - v6 - auto - 88,015 miles. I made out all of the necessary paperwork on the car for a loan through a salesperson by the name of Terry.  My credit is very poor due to ID fraud and ID theft in 2002.  So, he could not do anything for me.  I asked about a buy here/pay here place and that is how i found out about first choice auto. This is also a part of the Hunter group.  I went on line again and i saw a 1995 Buick LeSabre Limited 4 door sedan with 68,886 miles on it. Stock number C19362a - Vin 1g4hr52l9sh495862.  It sounded real nice so i told them to check out this car for me as i did want it if at all possible.  A saleslady by the name of Ludet Seibold contacted me by phone asking me to come in and make out the necessary paperwork.  Again, i went back on line and asked questions about this car as to the price, How a buy here/ pay here worked in financing as i have a trade in to consider also. She again contacted me to still come in and make out paperwork of which was already done at Hunter Nissan. of which she already knew about because she had some information on me. She said the car was there and in THE SHOP.   After not getting the information i was requesting, i went on line again asking someone else to contact me about this car and how they worked there program.  I received a e-mail from a Sherry saying that the car had not passed there inspection and that it was not available, but to come in to check on other cars on the lot.  My question is that how come i was lead on by this Ludet as a saleslady and as to why she did not know as to what was going on on the sales lot. A BAIT and SWITCH game to me. This is indeed bad business practice on there part and being lead on and lied to is what really got to me.  If you should read this and go online as of today, this car is still listed for sale over the internet at there First choice Auto. WHY??? It has been well over a week since our last conversation and should have been long removed if indeed this car did not pass there inspection.  Crazy Auto place and salespeople. There TV ads and newspaper ads are  something to see when they advertise as they did before Memorial day. But one really needs to know about how they really work and what really lies under all that COME ON DOWN treatment.  Real rotten treatment to me on there part!!!!!

I worked briefly with a car dealership for new and used vehicles. Dealerships go to auctions and get cars from trades. The buyers sometimes get a vehicle t

hat they thought was minimal repairs that turns into serious problems. Most dealerships operate multiple departments within the dealership so a week lag is not uncommon.I would rather have a dealership determine that they won't sell crap then to pass off the crap to me. I don't know this dealership personally but many. People have given the place great reviews.

Consumer not ripped off

My name is Tom Hunter and I am sorry you are upset.  Please note that our system lists every vehicle we own.  We do our best to keep it up to date. If the sales consultant tells you it did not pass inspection I would say you should listen to her and look at the other choices we have.

If you do not like those choices then lets shake hands and part friends.

We have thousands of satisfied customers. The bottom line is you were not ripped off, you were simply asked to stop by the dealership to look at vehicles.

A thank you for posting this on the internet for all to read and understand that these car dealers are all not what they claim to be. Deceptive business practice at most of these places are the trend today in the way of selling cars.  One would think that with the economy the way it is today, these car dealers would be going out of there way to earn a customers business in a honest business manor.

As of 6/22/11 - 2:30 PM EST. this car is still listed for sale on the internet at First Choice Auto. Why? If indeed that this car did not pass there auto inspection, why would they still have it listed for sale. Does this make any since at all to anyone?  Thanks to Ripoff Reports for posting this as to where everyone can read about this.
