Courtesy Imports Of Henderson, James Mooradian, Kamal J Habhab Aka Hubba, Kem List Ripped Off 18 year old buying first car Henderson Nevada
We were out shopping for a car for my 18 year old son. We had gone to another dealer and was going back to buy a car but it had sold the day before. My son was very disappointed. So we drove to a couple of other dealers and couldn't find anything. The we went to Courtesy Imports of Henderson. (big mistake) My husband and son were gone about an hour looking around the lot, then in the back they found a 2004 Mustang. My son fell in love with it. The salesman, Hubba, new my son lost out on buying a car earlier so he used that and said they were putting it on the front lot tonight and it would be gone tomorrow. He also wouldn't tell us how much it was. I asked several times. He said he didn't know. (should have left then) We made the mistake of telling him how much my son could afford, so by some miracle, he got those payments.
They wouldn't show us a blue book value, he said the finance guy would show it to us. The finance guy said they usually don't show us that but since Hubba said so he would. He flashed us the copy so we could only see the total, $9950.00. We couldn't see what they listed on the car. Because Hubba told us it had some things it didn't.
Hubba told us they do a 116 point inspection and all fluids changed, spark plugs changed and all services where my son wouldn't have to do anything for 40,000 miles. The total for the car came to $11,113. My son put down $1000.00. So we need to finance $10,113. My interest rate was at 9.30%. At the other dealership was 6.9%. They said it was because it of the year of the car. Went to my bank to get a better interest rate, found out were upside on the car, they would only loan us $7832.
I am very upset and don't know where to turn. I've sent them a couple e-mails letting them know how I feel and that I'll be reporting them. They did schedule a service of the car, because we found out they never did it. The spare was completely flat, and the fluids were filthy. All they did was wash the engine.
My son is paying for this himself. He only makes $7.35 an hour with a part time job. I don't know how these people could feel good about themselves.

There may be something you can do after all. I would need to know more information such as ...is your son on the contract you signed? If not you might have a way to go. If you can find my blog on google let me know some details and I will try to help you further thefinancediva

You signed a contract to buy the car for $11,113 and also signed up for a 9.3% interest rate. There's not much you can do about it now. In the future, you (and your son) should do some homework before signing on the dotted line. You need to find out for yourself what the car is worth, and shop around for a good interest rate (hint : you can almost always do better than what a dealer offers you). Relying on a used car salesman to give you the honest value of a prospective purchase is like hiring a child molester to babysit for your kids. When buying big ticket items (like TVs or furniture), most people do some homework to find out what is and what isn't a good deal. For some reason, when they go shopping for a car, all that goes out the window and they just take the salesman's word. One last thing, when buying a used car you should have it inspected by an independent mechanic. It may cost you $100, but it could save you thousands. Used cars are sold "as is" with no warranties, meaning that when you drive it off the lot, any problems belong to you. This is another area where consumers take the salesman's word that the car is in good condition. Since the salesman knows you'll have no recourse once you drive it off the lot, he will always say that it's in great condition.
