On 02/29/00, Sam and Elizabeth Young of Citronelle, Al
submitted a report on Reid' Auto Sales. Please refer
to their posting before reading any further.
Unfortunately, I purchased the same 1990 Mitsubishi
from Reid's Auto Sales in Eight Mile, AL. I have
taken the car back to the dealer repeatedly over the
last months (the first time being only two days after
purchasing the car), but they claim that nothing is
wrong with the car. They have started charging me for
parts and labor every time I want them to check the
car out but whatever they are doing is not solving the
problem. I should have known that the car was a piece
of junk immediately, but having limited income and not
too good of a credit history, I decided to see if the
car could be fixed.
After the fourth time taking the car back, I have had
enough. I see that all they are doing is milking me
for money and I'm not even able to use the car. I
told them to come get the car because I'm not paying
another cent on it.
They are now in the process of repossessing the car,
which they will probably sell to another unsuspecting
consumer.
I was so upset with the treatment that I received from
this dealer that I started researching the web to see
if any reports had been filed against them for their
un ethical practices and I ordered a vehicle history
report to see if the car was a lemon. Through the
vehicle report I found out that the car has had seven
different owners other than me. I last three owners
have not keep the car for more than a few thousand
miles.
To my utter disbelief, I came across your web site and
the posting from the Young 's about Reid's Auto Sales.
I know that in all consumer purchases the "Buyer
Beware", but this is ridiculous. These people are
preying on poor people, who under normal circumstance
don't have the money or gall to fight back. Well
fortunately, I have the gall and I will find the money
to fight back. I am consulting a lawyer to see if I
have any legal recourse in this matter.
I would never recommend Reid's Auto Sales to anyone,
they are a complete RIPOFF. To the Young 's, if you
happen to read this message, please contact me at
[email protected].
Sincerely,
Betty Wimbley
