I also have fallen victem to Chad Franklin Suzuki / Legend Suzuki KC.
I was given the sales pitch." If you buy our used car."2004 Acura TL" you will only pay $89.00 per month for 6 months, bring the car back in and trade for ANY car on the lot and still only pay $89.00 per month. For as long as you want to stay in the program." I did not know that I was actually buying the car, I thought it was a lease.
I paid $24,000 for the car plus $2,500 for the extended warranty, that is supposed to be good for 2 years and transfer from one ar to the other. And I financed the sales tax. So Now I'm at $27,500 for a car that was only worth maybe $20,000.
I talke my step father into co-signing on the loan and they said the bank would not touch it so long as my name was on the loan at all. Does that tell you anything about my credit? Anyway, they were able to get it finaned with my fathers name as primary and my name as secondary. Now Nick the sales guy who is back as of 04/03/08 told me." OK you will have the car for 6 months, your first payment not due for 45 days, you will make 4 payments and before the 5th payment is due, you will have had the car for 6 months. Trade the car and then we can drop your co-signer and get you into another car of your choice, and stay on the same plan."$89.00 per month for 12 months.
Okay, six months have passed, and I went to trad the car in, and now they tell me the program was only for 6 months and that I have not made 6 payments on it yet. They only gave me money enough for 4 payments. They have promised me a check for the additional 2 months payments and now I'm getting the runaround.
I was told last thurssday, that after I trade, only the first month will be $89.00 then I'm on my own with the $560.00 car payment. For 12 months bring it in and trade and again only the 1st month is $89.00 not 489.00 PER MONTH FOR LIFE AS ADVERTISED.
I have contacted an attorney, and the State attorney generals office, BBB, call for action and problem solvers. I heard that Chad Frankilin may pay lots of money for advsrtisement to the TV stations, but Problem solvers and call for action are not for proffit organizations and will advocate for us. They are not affected by advertisement money. I have not heard back from any of these resources yet, but I hope someone can help me.
