Bought new Q5 in June 2010 sold me a prepaid maintenance program after assurring me i can always cancel and get refund After signing all paperwork drove vehicle off lot and covered it had 2400 miles

Also discovered the new 2011 were due out in three weeks after being told my saleman will not be out until Nov 2010

Was assurred i would always get Audi to drive when serviced, Same week had to bring my new car with 2400 into service. I called ahead made appointment for 4 days later arrived and was given an older Prius that was a death trap

 Be smart Florida, stay away from Crown Audi

They have been sued for fraud in the past and continue to committ it

Response to comments made by David (Tampa Florida)

AUTHOR: Crown Cars - (United States of America)



Dear David:



 



Thank you for your recent feedback.  We have investigated your concerns and have found the following:



 



In June of 2010 you purchased a Q5 from us and added an optional Audi Care prepaid maintenance plan.  As clearly stated in the signed agreement, this maintenance plan is not cancelable. Although we regret any misunderstanding, all transactions are reduced to writing specifically to memorialize agreements made between us for a full understanding and disclosure, copies were provided to you once signed at that time.  The non-cancelable feature of this product is clearly indicated on the agreement which contains your signature.    



 



Regarding the miles on the vehicle you purchased: in compliance with federal odometer disclosure requirements, we provided a Federal Odometer Disclosure Form, which you signed at delivery. This form clearly displays the mileage and is accompanied by your signature acknowledging the miles that are on the vehicle. Additionally, the mileage is displayed on the Buyer’s Order, which also has your signature. Copies of both were provided to you.       



 



We did provide you with alternate transportation as we represented we would. For certain services where an extended wait time is required, Audi loaner vehicles are made available upon request and availability. Please understand that Audi loaner vehicles are limited and are subject to availability, as we represented.



 



Finally, according to those involved with your purchase, a 2011 vehicle was not mentioned by you. In fact, as we recall, you wanted your Audi before your wife returned from vacation. At the time, the thought was that the purchase of the 2010 Audi worked well for your situation, especially since we were able to offer you a vehicle that was in stock and at a lower price. At the time of your purchase while 2011 models had been introduced there was little availability of them, given your urgent need in consideration of your wife’s vacation, you told us the 2010 would work.



 



We certainly regret any misunderstanding that may have occurred.  Your satisfaction is very important to us.  I would appreciate if you would contact me at your earliest convenience, so we might discuss this further.



 



Sincerely,



 



David Jacovides
