I purchased a car from drive time, a 2001 mercury sable. The very first day i purchased the car it was given me problems. I returned several times within the first 24hrs. Complaining about the way the car made a knocking noise when i would be in transit. Well, the general manager said to me that he had been driven that car for several days and nothing was wrong with it. He was spending at 45 minutes going to work and another 45 minutes a day going home.
Well needless to say no matter how many times i argued with him, he won in the end because the contract had been signed and the monies forked over. (mine). I have been paying on this car since 2006 making a 200.00 pmt every two weeks and this is killing me financially. I have had to remodify this loan several times just to hold on to the car and it still does not run good. As it stands i still owe 9,850.00 and i have paid 9,600.00 already and i am still no closer to paying this car off. The book value of this car is less than 5,000.00 today.
I spoke with one of the collectors there and he informed me that on my last payment made 3/7/08 of 200.00 that 106.00 of the payment went for late fees for 14days. I felt very sick to my stomach because I will never get out of this car.
