Larry Miller Sundance Dodge And Johnny Lesque overcharged by $10,000 ripped us off knowing we were just starting out ripoff Boise Idaho

July 2006, my husband and I went to Larry Miller just to look at what they had avalible. We had our daughter (who was a year old at the time) with us as well. We ran into Johnny Lesque (sorry, I don't know how to spell his name) and he started showing us around.

We had looked at a few pickups, even test drove one. We didn't like it. Then we took a look at a Jeep Liberty. We loved the vehicle from the start. It was just what we wanted.

So my husband decided that we were going to get this vehicle. We told Johnny from the beginning that we could not go over $300 per month. And we were trading in our car which was worth more than we had financed on it. So we thought that was reasonable.

Johnny told us he would do his best. Keep in mind there is no price on the vehicles on the lot. Which I'm sure they do to keep their scam going. Johnny came back and told us it would be above $300 a month but that he wanted us to come in and look at the paperwork.

So when we went inside, Johnny started talking to his manager or whatever and I guess Johnny had told us that the Jeep would be $3000 less than what it as suppose to go for. He had told us $21,000. Now his manager was saying it was suppose to be $24,000.

Our Jeep was a 2006 Liberty with over 11,000 miles on it. It was a certified pre-owned.

Well, in any case, we ended up buying the Jeep at the persistence of Johnny. They asked us about adding on all this other stuff, but never told us how much extra it would cost. In the end, the Jeep was financed for over $27,000.

A month after we bought it, my husband got transfered to a different job and was making half of what he was when we bought the Jeep. We went back to Larry Miller's and told them what happened. They told us there was nothing we could do except go to the bank and ask them to take off the extra things that were financed.

We went to the bank the next day and they told us that they can't do that. They said that we had to go to the dealership and have them write up a new contract. So we went back to the dealership.

You'd never guess that they said they can't write up a new contract, would you? They said that they can only do that in the first 30 days of the contract therefore we were stuck paying $450 a month for our used vehicle.

We went to Edmark Chevrolet in Nampa and asked them about trading it in for something. They looked up the Blue Book Value for us. Keep in mind this is ONE month after we bought it. It was only worth $16,000.

I don't even have words to express the frustration and anger I have towards Sundance Dodge and Johnny. We were young and inexperienced in buying a vehicle by ourselves and they took full advantage of that, KNOWING that we had a child to take care of.

It's now almost 10 months since we bought our Jeep. The Blue Book trade-in value of it now is only $12,690. We still owe $23,000 on it. And we are living with relatives because the Jeep costs so much each month plus the full coverage insurance on it. We don't have enough money to have a place of our own.

I don't want anyone else to go through what we are going through. Please, research the vehicles you are interested in before you go out to get one. They can tell when you don't know your numbers, and they take full advantage of that. No matter what your situation.
