I understand both comments to my complaint. What you all need to understand is that I am a single mother living paycheck to paycheck and when my engine blew on my van I had no other choice. I did look around for as long as I could, however, I need to get to work a 30 minute drive from my house. Along with getting to work I need to get my children to their childcare. It was not until after I bought this car that other auto dealers would help me in anyway. I also understand that they are going to charge more than what it is worth, however, 5,000 dollars. To me that is a rip off. All I have to say is we will learn from our mistakes and I just wanted to post this so other people out there would learn about this company and do the opposite of me. I now know that next time I can apply for a draft loan and shop at my own rate and next time I will do exactly that. Thanks for the comments and have a great holiday :O)

I can't beleive it. They didn't TELL you the price of the car before you bought it???? Did you ask? What exactly is the complaint? If you didn't want to pay $9800 for the van why didn't you look around for a cheaper one? People who go to one of those "Buy it here -pay for it here" lots pay lots more than retail for any car they buy. Usually the down payment pays the dealer back for the car and payments are just window dressing for the dealer. They take advantage of people with lousy credit who are so eternally grateful that they buy anything and sign anything and get taken to the cleaners every time. Some are so dumb that they read the contract they sign AFTER they get home if they are lucky enough to GET home in the piece of junk they buy. What interest did you pay? 25%? 30%? Next time shop around and look at private owners who are selling older cars with a history of repairs and maintenance. Next time be in charge when you buy a car. You have every right to walk if you don't like the deal.
