OnOctober 2nd 2009 I visited Paragon Honda in Woodside Queens. I signed acontract to purchase a 2006 Honda Pilot with the VIN # 5FNYF18106B027651. I wastold the list price was $21,000 & I agreed to pay $19,000 plus extracharges for tax, NYS Inspection etc. Minus allowance for my car. The total onthe contract came to $18,853.75, towards which I left a deposit of $1,000. Iexplained to the sales rep David Garcia, a manager Jack Levant & one othermanager which I do not remember his name that I would return to apply forfinancing for the car after I secured a mortgage for a house that I was buying& hoping to close within the next few weeks. On10/15/09 I visited ParagonHonda.com & seen this came car listed for$15,878. I called David at ext 142 & left a message explaing what I hadjust seen, he never returned this call or the other calls that I placed for himover the next four days. When I finally was able to get intouch with him on10/19/09 he claimed to have no knowledge about the car being listed on thierwebsite for under $5,000 less than what he told me was the list price. Heplaced me on hold & within a minute his manager Jack levant came on thephone & told me the car was sold. I asked that my deposit be returned to mycredit card & gave him the credit card # again. On 10/21/09 I called jackto ask why the deposit was not returned to my account & he told me that hethought I wanted him to hold onto it towards another car that I may purchasefrom him in the future, I informed him that was not my intentions & toreturn the money that day. I also informed him that I was intouch with thelegal fund through my union who informed me that Paragon Honda was in breach ofcontract. When Jack heard this he told me to sue him for the deposit & hungup the phone on me. I calledback to Paragon Honda on 10/15/09 and 10/21/09 & gave a false name, I spokewith an employee by the name of Jessica both days who infomed me that the carwas still available for purchase at the advertised price of $15,878. I alsospoke to Jessaca again on or around 10/24/09 & I explained to her what hadhapped & asked her to ask Jack to return the money, she said she would askhim. As off11/12/09 the money has not been returned. Anyone know a good lawyer?
