i simply don't undertsand how this company still survives, and why the authorities don;t do anything abt it...
I find most of these type stories hard to believe. You can't "repo" a car for too good of a deal. That would be car theft.
I call shens on this whole thread.

It's true. It was on the news also. They called him and told him to bring it back because he got a better deal than he was supposed to. They screwed up and marked it down too much. He said heck no. One morning he woke up to find his truck gone. They had taken it back because they said his deal wasn't legit because he got something too cheap. He called the cops. I'm not sure about the outcome, but he was saying the same thing - they basically stole the car.

yeah, welcome to TN. This is the WHOLE point of these threads. No one is making it up and some folks find themselves frequently without cars.

What the consumer can do, even though it is a civil matter - is file a lawsuit against the dealership. Should he get a judgement against them, the dealers insurance company can pay the claim or that can be claimed against their surety bond (In FL, all dealers are required to carry a $25,000 surety bond in case stuff like this happens)
Seriously though, used car superstores are for the most part scumbags. I've had cars tampered with because dealers wanted to get a better deal.

Give a better link.
I still say there is no way a dealer could just steal your car back if you had the paperwork that shows you bought it. It wouldn't be a civil case either, it would be criminal.

So you're saying a news channel's website is invalid? If you think they're fabricating the story, then wouldn't you also believe they were fabricating the pdf document?
Just learn to admit when you're wrong.
The best customers a car dealer has are the ones who don't have any money.
Some dealers who make a large business of buy here pay here, 0% down, we finance anything to anybody tend to have their own way of doing things
No, I'm saying your link sucks and you lack social skills.Originally posted by: yowolabi

why doesnt chevy do something? damn talk about putting a black mark on your product.
oh and the guy who got his car STOLEN by the dealer because he got a good deal i hope called the cops and made a stolen vehicle report. :|
Edit: just watched the news report on this. WHY IN THE F*CK doesnt the DA charge the sales guy and manager with Grand theft auto???
either something vital is missing in this report or the district attorney is drawing salary from bill heard...

The $64,000 question is why somebody has not been waiting with a tire iron in the bushes outside Bill Heard's house to greet him when he gets home from work. I'd also kneecap the salesmanager, finance manager and whatever salesman was involved in the deal.
yes...shoot the motherfv**ers when they come on your property. "Ooops, sorry I thought your were stealing my car"
That would make these POS think twice.
I love the end of the linked article
"He says Kieselhorst is free to take the dealer to court -- something he's now seriously considering."
wtf? considering???
on another note, I have never understood these people who go into car dealers and make almost impromptu choices when buying a car. Seems crazy to me. I have seen these shows where people just go into the shop and are looking at cars and end up buying one that day, not doing any research or comparison at all. I mean I compare prices when I am getting a 12 pack of beer, let alone a 20,000+ car...guess thats how they make good business though

Doesn't matter. You can easily find out where Bill Heard lives and following the sales manager home would not be much of a chore either. Seems like all their dealerships are in areas where folks tote firearms and don't take kindly to getting ripped off. It's amazing that nothing has happened.
