HELP ME!!! My EX roommate works for World Motors (a used Mercedes dealership) he kept telling me everyday he could get me into a nice Mercedes for less money than I was paying for my Honda Accord. One day I decided to finally take him up on the offer, he has told me that it's a myth that Mercedes cost more to upkeep than say a Honda because they only need to maintenanced half as often...WOW did I fall for that one! He also reassured me that because he worked there I would get any parts that I needed at cost price! GREAT, what a deal...NOT!

I go down to World Motors...unsure, but wanting to throw around some numbers...I'm was currently paying $400 a month for my Honda...we went around the lot...granted it was 8:00 pm, and looked at cars, I fell in love with a little blue 2001 C240, he put the numbers in and said I would be able to drive away today for $375 a month...it was all happening very fast...but he hook lined and sank me.

Because we were roommates he explained to me that I would get a better finance rate if I went into Arizona Federal myself and attempted to take out the loan...I went down to AZ Fed and the teller politely told me, "Whoever is trying to sell you this car is ripping you off, the car is onl." In other words, World Motors was asking for $17,000 for a $12,000 car. I went back the next day and told my roommate I did not want to purchase the vehicle, he told me it was too late and he had already sold my Accord...according to the LAW I had three days to tell him I did not want it, he LIED TO ME...what a SURPRISE!!!

After selling my Accord, they not only did not pay off they remaining balance on my accord loan as agreed in our contract...but they REFUSED to give me the REGISTRATION or PLATES for the Mercedes!!! I got a lawyer to write them a nasty letter, but the loan was still paid off late, going on MY CREDIT, and I am still stuck with an overpriced lemon, that broke down THREE TIMES in the first month that I purchased it! I had to explain my situation to the DMV so they could retrieve registration for me so I could purchase plates as to not get a REDICULOUS fine for not having them.

World Motors claims on their website that they are a PROUD member of the BBB, they aren't a memeber at all, LITERALLY I looked them up. Keep in mind, this was my ROOMMATE at the time who I trusted much more than a "Salesman". I am still stuck with the car, paying through the nose...and it will fall apart LONG before the five year loan is paid off...HELP ME!!!

World Motors reported false credit ino

AUTHOR: Youknowme - (Tunisia)

POSTED: Tuesday, November 02, 2010

So a few weeks ago I went to purchase a second house. Had my mortgage company pull my credit and there is a collection on there from A&S Collection Associates Route 14 Williamstown, VT 05679 (802)433-2100. I have no clue who this company is so I file a dispute. After giving Experian the 30 days they need I get a report saying this information remains on your credit. I then call the company to find out who they are and what is going on. The lady on the phone says they have talked to me back in 2007 and I told them I would get back with them. She also stated I had bought a car from World Motors in Scottsdale, AZ. I told her I live in TN why would I buy a car from there? Ok so I know with ebay and everything people are buying cars all over the country but I still have no clue who this company is. 


Worried it might be a scam I start doing some searching for World Motors. I checked with the AZ BBB. They claim to not know who the company is and that this company is not a member nor has ever been. I also ran across a court judgement that took three judgments for against World Motors for them to finally pay all for a warranty they should have bought for the customer in the first place. 

I am still waiting to hear back from the collection company as they claim the need to find the file and all information about this account. I have no clue who any of these guys are but I do know after reading everything I have and not just the internet rumors (because those can come from anyone and sometimes even people who are just in the wrong or upset at the moment.) but the court case for the most part, I know I will never buy a car from this company and I would not refer anyone to them.

World Motors is a licensed, bonded and insured motor vehicle dealer in the state of Arizona. It is World Motors mission to provide the highest quality, cleanest and most well appointed Mercedes Benz vehicles at the lowest prices possible to our customers. We do not use sales pressure, cheasy gimmicks or scams to sell our vehicles. We post Carfax reports directly on our website www.worldmotors.net and we do not have high markups on our vehicles.

With all that said, I would like to respond to this report posted by KiraKirra. First and foremost, some of the allegations made in this report are slanderous and false. While it would be unprofessional of me to comment directly on a customer, I can say that some of the statements made are completely fabricated and false.

World Motors has been, and is, a Better Business Bureau Accredited Business. Please see www.arizonabbb.org and use the find a business link on the consumer page. Once you type in World Motors, you can clearly see that we are, and have been a BBB member. Most car dealers are not, for good reason.

While I did not sell this vehicle to this customer directly, I can tell you that the dispute has more to do with an ex-roomate situation than it does with World Motors. Also, this customer was involved in an accident shortly after purchasing this vehicle. She neglected to mention that fact in her posting.

World Motors sells 100's of cars per year. I find it interesting that there is only one complaint posting on this website. Clearly, we do not have a pattern of sales practice issues. If you would like to speak to me personally, give World Motors a call at 480.921.0792 and ask for Tyler.

Thanks,

Tyler Thompson

Hi, I work for a gentleman who purchased a vehicle from World Motors. Had the car shipped to him outside of AZ where he lives, purchased a warranty from the dealership and subsequently found out the warranty had not actually been purchased though he paid for it. They are giving him the run around about a refund and asking for more money to purchase a warranty they already said they had. Am going to file complaints with Sec of State, BBB. Would like to speak with you and find out if you would like to team up in our efforts to bring this to the public.

#3 Consumer Suggestion

A 6 year old Mercedes only worth $12,000! I don't think so.

AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, January 03, 2008

I am fairly confident that the CU was giving you the LOAN value, not the car value.

Nobody loans 100% on a 6 year old car. Most CU's will only finance 70-80% of the value of the car. The rest is made up with your down payment.

Were you trying to get 100% financing? Were you upside down in your trade in?

The only thing you have going in your favor is that they are prohibited by law to sell your trade until the deal is DONE. This means financing in hand. You have recourse on this. I lived in AZ and went through this. I won. It was long ago when I was young and stupid. I ended up putting the dealership out of business, because an investigation got started and I was not the only one. There were hundreds of victims. They lost thier dealers license.

Go to the DMV, DEALER SERVICES side, and ask for the dealer's licensing and BONDING info. Then file a complaint ther, and then file a claim against thier bond for your losses. Once you do this, a big can of worms is open. Investigation is underway. Guaranteed.

FYI...NEVER accept "spot delivery". This means never give up your trade until the financing is actually APPROVED.

Good luck.
