Metro Mitsubishi , Lone Star Mitsubishi Daimond Advantage Rip Off Needs Class Action Lawsuit San Antonio Texas
I bougt a montro Sport 2002 in Dec of 2001 from Metro Mitsubishi in San Antonio under the DA plan not knowing it was a lease (Im in outside sales and travel for a living) I would have never singed that paper work if I would have known I could only travel 55,000 after my 66 months was over. Ive got a year to finish paying off on it and its got 97,000 miles on it.
Well I go this week to try to trade it in and they kept telling me I owe 14,000.00 I was like no way I had my bill and there was no way it was adding up...Come to find out I have a 10000.00 ballon payment at the end.
I was SICK .I called San Antonio and was told that they were under new ownership and that of course my sales person in not there anymore (i was thinking yeah he's propbaly in jail for fraud) I told the new owners that I wasnt aware of any milage BS and the ballon payment would make me pay for a car that the sticker was for 27,0000.00 If I make that last payment of 10,000.00 I would have paid 40,000.00 for that car. Needless to say looks like Im stuck like chuck.
I would like to talk to a Lawyer and Im think IM calling on one Monday. The more I looked at that paper work the more angry I became out how illeagaly what they did. They are FLAT beating people out of hard earned money and I would like some help from people that have had this happen to them .WE as a group have to put a stop to this. Lone Star did offer to bring me another car 12 hours away and pick mine up but I would have to still pay the milage at 6000.00 before it got back to SA from AR which was still a rip off & buy another car from them that was at 23,000 and they want 28,000.00 Please help we need some Class Action here

Well thank you Mr Douglas for your kind words of advise that I could have used in Dec of 2001 now as of 2006 its done me no good there is something about Honest people being stupid and too trusting That was me in 2001 now in 2006 I WONT sign anything without reading and understanding it that is for sure. Still there has to be something I can do ??????????? I've learned my lesson and my family and friends know. I think I will take a lawyer with me to my next closing of a car deal. That is just out right sad. To even metion Car salemans and Lawyer together they really are kind of in the same catogery. Your right I didnt KNOW and I should have. To the people PLEASE DONT SIGN ANY PAPER WORK WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING

You made a great statement which I quote directly..."I would have never signed that paperwork if I would have known...". DID YOU READ WHAT YOU SIGNED? I've seen this so many times, its simply amazing. How is it that grown adults(?) will spend time with paperwork only enough to find the place to sign! When they find out the paperwork didn't say what THEY thought it said, they blame the dealer! It is utterly amazing to me! You have an expensive lesson to learn. But, you can turn this negative into a positive by teaching your family or friends the same lesson: 1. Read and understand whatever paperwork the salesman gives you to sign. Read it word for word. 2. If you don't understand the paperwork, ask somebody you trust (THIS IS NOT THE SALESMAN) to explain it to you. If the person you trust is not with you, ask the salesman to give you an unsigned copy and you will return. If the salesman refuses to do this, WALK OUT. Did you see that??? I said WALK OUT! 3. Take a calculator with you and do the math BEFORE you sign. You need to understand, the vast majority of people who go to dealerships don't have a clue as to what they are doing. Additionally, they do not have even the minimum of business savvy to protect themselves from the slime balls and pond scum in the car business. (This is NOT a blanket condemnation of the car business but experience has shown far too many dealerships are choking on the stench of their fraud and deception.) These people go into the dealership and are all too willing to play doormat, sucker or chump. The slime know this and move in for the kill. Lets cause this lesson to place you above the "norm" for your next purchase. BOTTOM LINE: You failed to read and understand the paperwork YOU signed. It is not the fault of any dealership if YOU fail to take this step.
