Hilltop Nissan A Widow and 3 children riped off East Hanover New Jersey
In July of 2008, I received a letter from Hilltop Nissan stating that I can have an early termination on my leased vehicle. The letter read that if you want to trade you car in Hilltop Nissan will assume the final payments of the lease vehicle. At this time I was driving a Nissan Pathfinder that I have leased in February 2006 from Hilltop. With gas price well over $4.00 a gallon, I could no longer afford $100.00 a week in gas. This seemed to be the perfect time to trade in.
When I walk into Hilltop I meet a gentlemen and I showed him the letter I received that stated they would take care of the final 10 car payment to Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, the leasing corporation. After he put in writing, I was so happy that I quickly choose a more fuel efficient vehicle. After I signed the lease agreement I drove home. Something did not seem right I was paying $ 369.00 for a vehicle that cost half the price of a Nissan Pathfinder that I was paying $319.00. This happened on a Saturday , so I could not question them until Monday.
When it started to make sense and I began to ask question about this charge that was on my lease, they said that was a finance charge for 39 months. They lied that was the charges to my last 10 month payments of my Pathfinder. I tried to talk to them they would have nothing to do with me. They would not take my phone calls and when I went to see them they said they were busy. I was so honest I asked that I was all alone and the reason for this trade in was that I could no longer afford the gas that this huge vehicle required. I do not know how to bargain nor do I want sympathy all I want was something honest and fair. They lied they took advantage of me. Please beware.

It sounds like you didn't lease the new vehicle, but you actually financed it.

SAME OLD STORY--Read Before You Sign!

You've got more problems than this, Neli. Why are you involved with a CAR FLEASE to begin with? You wanted to drive a car you could NOT AFFORD to buy, so you get into a CAR FLEASE. NOT A GOOD DECISION! In a CAR FLEASE, guess who gets sheared? Go ahead, guess! Secondly, if you thought these numbers on the FLEASE agreement "did not seem right" as you put it, why did you sign the FLEASE contract? Here's why...YOU DIDN'T READ what you were signing. Now what happens? The dealer has a FLEASE contract with your signature on it which means YOU agreed to the terms of the FLEASE. Without regard to anybody having kids, marital status etc, etc, etc the common sense thing to do when presented with a contract to sign is to READ before you sign.
