Community Chevrolet is taking this opportunity to reply to a post submitted by Douglas Lightsey on this website. Mr. Lightsey purchased a 2007 Chevrolet HHR from the dealership on 11/15/2008. At the time of sale he informed our sales staff that he was getting approval for financing with Drive Time financial. After taking possession of the vehicle he called and stated he would like our dealership to secure financing, instead. We subsequently submitted his application for approval with various lenders. After carefully considering his application, finance companies declined to finance his auto purchase. I contacted and spoke with Mr. Lightsey by telephone to inform him that his application had been denied and that he would have to return the vehicle. He refused our request and stated good luck getting the car back. Following policy Mr. Lightsey was sent a letter of right of rescission by certified mail on 11/21/2008, asking him to return the vehicle. Again he refused to comply. After exhausting all efforts to resolve this matter amicably and not receiving any cooperation, we dispatched a repossession company (on 11/25/2008), to locate and return the vehicle to the dealership, as is our right. The vehicle arrived with significant damage and he refused to take responsibility. Community Chevrolet Company
