Erica C your Rip Off Report has cought the watchful eye of The Great Thorn

Erica C. It justs makes me real upset when car buyers have to go through what you have to deal with. I want to provide you with some info that might help you.

The VERY FIRST thing I would do is go to

http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/view.asp?id=17727

and look at what this guy put on the back of his truck. It seems he wants everybody to see how he feels about a Toyota dealer. If I were you, I would do the same thing as to how you feel about Autoway Chevrolet.

Do what this guy has done. EXPOSE to the public as to HOW you FEEL about Chevy and your dealer.

Next here is some info on Fla Lemon law.
FLORIDA

ELIGIBILITY: 20 calendar days out of service or 4 unsuccessful repairs in the lesser of 12,000 miles or 12 months.

CONSUMER RESPONSIBILITY: Certified mail notice to manufacturer who then has 14 days to make final repair after vehicle has been delivered to dealer.


If you feel that Chevy and your dealer are not helping you use this contact info to YOUR advantage. Also I would fax a copy of your Rip Off Report to your dealer. I think their fax number is 1-813-238-5019. Consumers must never forget you must EXPOSE DECEPTION!

Here is a bit of info That might help you that I found.
Vehicles 'Bought Back' Under Florida's Lemon Law

If a consumer who owns or leases a new motor vehicle files a claim under Florida's Lemon Law and the manufacturer thereafter agrees or is ordered to buy back the vehicle, the manufacturer is required to notify the Office of the Attorney General of the buy-back and to have the vehicle's title branded 'manufacturer buy back' by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

For further information regarding vehicles on the 'Buy Back' list, contact the Office of the Attorney General, Lemon Law Arbitration Program, The Capitol, PL-01, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1050. Please provide the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), manufacturer, make and model of the vehicle.

Next I would like you to read this info about what can happend to car buyers when they let car dealers get them a car loan.

Unfair credit discrimination still permeates the American marketplace. Every day, countless individuals and families are denied access to mainstream credit because they are not white or because they are women, or seniors, or disabled.

Despite a reduction in the most blatant and overt forms of discrimination, there is ample evidence that creditors commit more subtle, but equally pernicious discrimination against minority groups throughout the lending process.

Discrimination occurs in:

1) advertising and outreach (placing far fewer branch offices in minority neighborhoods and conducting little direct mail solicitation);

2) handling of pre-application inquiries (providing more information and encouragement to whites than to others);

3) the loan approval or disapproval decision (holding income constant, black and Hispanic applicants are still far more likely than whites to be denied a mortgage loan);2

4) loan pricing (charging minority customers higher costs than other groups of borrowers)

5) loan administration (treating whites who have missed one or more payments more leniently than non-whites).

Erica Read this below:

When finance companies allow dealers to raise the rates on millions of transactions, they rake in hundreds of millions of dollars in excessive charges. Some reports, based on authoritative analyses of over one million records, have found that nearly everyone who takes out a loan through a car dealer may be overcharged. But if you are African American or Latino, you are more even likely to be overcharged, and the average amounts tend to be even higher. In other words, the impact on car buyers is discriminatory. It is not based on risk, but on race.

If I were you I would do everything that I could think of to expose how you FEEL about your Chevy.

If you want more info from The Great Thorn, Please post a update on your Rip Off Report and ask for it.

I will be calling this dealer to ask a few questions. I am sick and tired of car dealers and makers giving consumers the BIG FAT RUN-A-Round.
