Selma Honda RIP OFF ARTISTS Selma, California
RIP OFF artists. Went in for a payoff of lease and transfer of title to private party.
John, the finance manager insisted on payoff amount plus tax, and then proceeded to send two sleazy salesmen to do an appraisal. I just wanted to pay the payoff amount, I clearly told them I dont want an appraisal. He said I need to get the vehicle inspected by a mechanic first and to come back when service opens up the next day.
He tried to buy the car from me and sell it to 3rd party; this charlatan thought he can make a few grand off me. All I wanted is to pay off the freakin car, since Honda is the lienholder. These salesmen and managers have no integrity and try to pounce on the customer Run dont walk. Extremely rude scheisters; stay away from this dealership.

I'm a bit perplexed here with what exactly your complaint is. First let's start with some basics...you never owned that car because you got into a CAR FLEASE. At the end of the FLEASE, two things can happen:
1. You take the car to the dealership where they perform an "inspection" for what they consider excess wear and tear. They hit you up with bogus, exaggerated charges plus often times a clearly bogus, phoney fee called something like "FLEASE TERMINATION". You pay all those charges, leave the car and go home.
2. You buy the car for the price you and they agreed to at the start of the FLEASE.
You used the term "payoff". There is no "payoff" in a FLEASE. There are payments in a FLEASE which you must make on time.
Lets suppose you agreed to buy the car at the start of the FLEASE for $10,000. Let's further suppose the car is in absolute pristine condition and a make/model which is in extreme high demand, so much so they think they can make even more money on the deal. So they inspect it and might have offered you $12,000 to walk away instead of having to give it to you for only $10,000. Although this would be an unusual case, it is possible. You did not indicate and financial loss on your part, so again we're back to my same conclusion in that I don't understand your complain. Unless you have failed to understand that at the end of the FLEASE, you DO NOT OWN the car.
