that the main problem with people claiming to have been ripped off is that they were too lazy to do their homework before buying the car. If Minnie has taken the few minutes to find out the car's value BEFORE she bought it, she wouldn't be in this mess. Obviously she had no problem finding this information AFTER she bought the car.

The used car business is notorious for gouging their customers for whatever they can get away with. Why on earth would any semi-intelligent person walk in and buy a car without having any idea of its actual market value? Why would one think that a used car salesman is going to stop you from overpaying for a vehicle? It just flies in the face of common sense. Yet, according to the reports here, it happens every day.

Next time, exercise a bit of personal responsibility. If you don't bother to look out for your own interests, don't expect some used car salesman to do it for you.

If you had access to a Kelley Blue Book (available at any library) you would have realized that the car was not worth $18,000 when you bought it. The company has the right to sell it for as much as they want to regardless of Blue Book value. The consumer is responsible for determining whether of not it is fairly priced.

It is the consumer's responsibility to find out what a car is worth before they purchase it. It is not like the value is kept secret. There are number of resources that one can use to find the value. If you see a car is worth $2,000 and they are asking $18,000 then you know you should avoid that car and even the dealership. No one forces anybody to buy a car.
