The salesman of this store saw a woman coming and one who was not looking to buy but smoothed talked me into a used Subaru with 42K miles for the hefty price of $21,212.00 convincing me I could afford the low payments of $287/month. for 7 years which included extended warantee, other extreme add-ons and theft protection that I wasn't informed about as being an option. All that after I gave them a deposit and tradein of my '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They also said they would credit me $400 towards new tires which they didn't.

I say everyone reading this should boycot all such croocked auto dealerships until we can get some laws prohibiting such theft. This was a huge total rip off! I do not have the resources most people do and will end up paying front and back on this loan of nearly $9,000.00!! ONLY IN AMERICA RIGHT?

Folk
I own a dealership and do business in a very honest and ethical way, and I make a good living. However, customers are not always 100% realistic about things. Also, if you go to some "How to Buy a Car" websites it is of no help in buying a pre-owned car. Here is where problems occur, and how one can avoid some of them.

1) know your own credit...If the dealer has a difficult time placing your loan you are less likely to get a minimal profit deal, and can get in embarassing situations like having to return the car. Take responsibility for your own finances!!!


2) It is business so treat it as such. Car dealers negotiate thousands of deals and are generally fairly competent. You should attempt to get a fair deal where all parties are happy. If you get screwed because you got roped in by "too good to be true" deals that is your fault!!! You are trying to get something for nothing and that is not capitalism!!!

3) dont be sentimental about your trade. Intelligent people often try to rationalize how much their trade in is worth and are often wrong by large margins! Remember you set the price you are willing to pay to buy the dealers car, and the dealer offers what he will pay to buy your trade!!!! Dont be mean, you dont get any better deal. Always be willing to walk away if the deal isnt right.

Its true in alot of cases we all want someone to blame at one time or another for our mistakes.

In this case not true larry h miller used new cars is the leading bottom feeder no price is to high no trick to dirty the managers there will even screw there sales people out of a sale
they like to get people on the lot sell them the car they want then call them back a couple of weeks later and say the financing didnt go threw then switch them to another car or truck at inflated prices thus screwing the customer and stealing the commision from the salesman

in utah in circles of informed consumers if the name larry miller is attached stay away.

My wife and I bought a used car from larry h miller used cars. it could have been a nightmare. the manager Brandon (a nasty little golum like creature) didnt have the guts to call me so he called my wife told her to bring the car back
we took the car back and informed them where they could park it.

good luck ruth

its too bad you had to learn the hard way

there are multiple stories about the Larry Miller chain and I bet many are true. However, that being said...

They "smooth talked you" into this deal? You did no homework on the model you purchased, you signed agreeing to an extended warranty and whatever else they could pack into your deal (and please, you had to know that you were not REQUIRED to buy these), you agreed by your signature to a 72 month loan on a 2003 car that already has 42k miles, and now you want laws to protect yourself from yourself. At what point do we step up and take a little responsibility for our own actions. Despite your initial comment, this has nothing to do with your gender. You made a impulse buy on an expensive item without doing any research as to the unit you were buying or to the financing options available, and then you want to be "protected." Sorry, but this was a self-inflicted wound. Harsh?...yes. But it's time folks stepped up and accepted their own role in these matters without screaming..."protect me...protect me" or mouthing that catch-all phrase..."class action." Suck it up and move on; you learned an expensive lesson here but perhaps it will save you in the future.

JMHO
