USED CARS COST MONEY TO MAINTAIN..BOTTOM LINE! NEW CARS COST MONEY TO MAINTAIN! I HAVE A 06 MITZ LANCER. IT COSTS ME 200.00 FOR A A 15K & 45K TUNE UP & 350.00 FOR 30K & 60K TUNE UP! NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT AT 60K I AM ALSO EXPECTED TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT. I ALSO SPENT 150.00 FOR CERAMIC BRAKE PADS AT 20K. SO SINCE 4-26-06 I HAVE SPENT 900.00 ON A CAR THAT I DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH 4 MILES ON IT. SO IMAGINE A 97 VEHICLE! YOU COMPLAIN THAT NOW THAT THE CAR FOR 2YRS & 4MOS, YOU ARE HAVING TO REPLACE PARTS. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WITH AN ALMOST 11YR OLD CAR? AS FAR AS THE CONTRACT, YOU AGREED TO THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. WOULD YOU HAVE LET THEM OUT OF THE CONTRACT WHEN THEY WERE PAYING FOR REPAIRS? AFTER ALL, THEY SHOULD LET YOU OUT OF THE CONTRACT NOW THAT THEY HAVE FULFILLED THEIR END OF THE DEAL, RIGHT? NOW, FOR THE TOWING, IT COSTS ABOUT $5 A MONTH TO HAVE TOWING ON YOUR AUTO INSURANCE. DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE 18MO WARRANTY! YOU GOT 1/2 OF DODGES NEW CAR WARRANY ON A 8YR OLD CAR! DID YOU AGREE TO THE PRICE OR DID JD HOLD A GUN TO YOUR HEAD? HAVE YOU EVER NEGOTIATED A PRICE OR SHOPPED AROUND FOR ANYTHING? I DOUBT IF JD WAS THE ONLY USED CAR DEALER IN YOUR. AREA. THIS IS NOT A RIPOFF. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, IF HAVE TRUELY MADE YOUR PAYMENTS ON TIME FOR OVER 2YRS, THAN MOST LIKELY, YOU CAN TRADE IT IN FOR A NEWER CAR AT A LOWER INTEREST RATE AT A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP.

Carla, Although I am no fan of JD Byrider and the like, the fact is that YOU chose to do business with them. Education is the key here. Most people make abad decision, then want to find someone else to blame for it. You bought a used car for way too much money for the convenience of being financed. They DID honor their warranty, right? Why do you feel that sense of entitlement that they are obligated to finance your repairs? They are under no moral or legal obligation to do so. Even when you get real financing from a bank, they do not finance your repairs! Grow up! And, learning about cars and how they work would save you alot of money. YOU should learn how to do the basic preventive maint. and small repairs, like that cap and rotor. Now for my favorite part! "I am going legal". Yeah, OK. You don't even have money to repair your car and yet you are going to file a lawsuit on a multimillion dollar co like JD. Good luck with that. Do you have any idea how much that will cost? THOUSANDS. And, guess what, you will need that right up front, as you have no case. JD Byrider did nothing illegal here. Guaranteed. They don't owe you anything. Guaranteed. You do have some nerve though, in asking them to just take the car back and give you a zero balance! You signed a legal binding loan contract on that car, and it makes no difference whether the car is running or not. That is not part of the contract, or the law. Time to get some education. No rip off here.

J.D. byrider will come pick up your car. With no exception. One time I paid by a money order. I went to their web address to get their address to mail off a money order to make a payment. Come to find out they didn't get the payment. I got a call that Monday from my finance consultant that they haven't received the payment yet. Me not thinking nothing of it. When I went to the web address they had two different addresses. One of the addresses was their old address, so I'm thinking do to the holidays that's why they haven't received their payment. I got a call Thursday still haven't received my payment. Now I'm getting a little worried, because my consultant is now telling me that they're going to repo my car the next day by 1:00 pm. Remind you that my car payment is due every other Friday. It's only a week later they are talking about coming to get the car. I did a little reseach J.D receptionist tells me that I mailed my money order to their old address that was on the web address. Money order still lost. I had to pull some chains to come up with a another $159.00. So I end up paying the car payment on a friends credit card, and they got their payment. Remind you that the money order is floating around God knows where. I got to pay this money back to my friend, and find my $159.00 money order. You think J.D cared as long as they got their money they didn't care. Jeremy told me when the transmission went out whose fought is that. Knowing that they have an old address on their web site. I tried to stress that to them they over talked me as if we don't care we just want our money. You made your payment so we don't want to hear it. I wonder if J.D. even went on their web address to to remove the old address off the site.
