GERMAIN TOYOTA, GERMAIN TOYOTA EXPLOITS THE ELDERLY NAPLES Florida

These guys are typical car dealers and thieves. The epitome of what is wrong with America today.

'Google' this- ENGINE SLUDGE, and go to the consumeraffairs website and read Samuel's complaint that was posted on 07/31/06 regarding the engine in his Toyota Sienna minivan.

then go to the www.autocoverup.com site. It's a conversation that was recorded by a Lexus owner and a Lexus mechanic, correct?

This is a standard practice. I am sure if you look at your lease you will find you have paid too much for your camry. The service dept advises sales personnel of potential easy prey. There is so much fraud and dishonesty at this dealership. I have never seen anything in 25 years of being in the business quite like this operation. This dealership tells customers their trades have been sold when they have not and etc. I have seen them lie to the state in investigations in the past. There is nothing they will stop at to make a sale.  

contact your Local News Stations IMMEDIATELY about this & give them ALL OF YOUR DOCUMENTS that your mother signed!

Believe it or not, the LEGAL SYSTEM in the USA will side with the DEALERSHIP because it's a- 'he said- she said' situation, and the fact that your mother SIGNED the contract, you'll LOSE!

This is a tactic that Toyota, & their Dealer Network, use on the elderly, the lesser educated, & minorities! Some people in the media won't even help because Toyota spends so much money with them in advertising!!!

Even the LEGAL SYSTEM in the USA will side with Toyota because Toyota spends so much money with the Law Firms in the USA!

Your best bet is to get the MEDIA involved, & EXPOSE them on TV. There might be a News Station that'll do your story. You can even try contacting Deborah Sherman at 9NEWS in Denver. Their website is www.9news.com

9NEWS in Denver EXPOSED Toyota on TV on 5-18-2005 at 10 PM. It was the 3rd part of a '3 Part Series' that EXPOSED Car Dealerships in Denver. Toyota was TARGETTING Hispanics, and putting them into leases. You can go to www.9news.com and type in- ORNELAS, and the story might still be there. It made the FRONT PAGE of the Denver Post Newspaper on 5-19-2005!!!!!

She may be able to get a Local News Station in Florida to help you. It's worth a try! Who knows, maybe it'll work?

Going to your Attorney General is a good idea, but it'll take too long to get any action. What they did was WRONG, but it wasn't 'against the law', according to most lawyers & judges. You see, the LAWS in the USA were written to PROTECT dealerships like Germain Toyota, & others.

EXPOSE THEM ON T.V.!!!!!

EXPOSE THEM ALL OVER THE WORLDWIDE WEB!!!!!

Send your story to BusinessWeek.com

Send it to CNNMoney.com

Send it to Oprah.com

Send it to EVERYONE you can think of!!!!!!!

DON'T GIVE-UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK!

Jackie:

What you have here is a CLEAR CUT example of exactly what you said...taking advantage of a senior citizen.

I urge you...I implore you...I strongly encourage you to contact the Florida Attorney General's Office about this.

A car FLEASE is very, very profitable to the dealer. Because of this, the incidents of fraud and deception involving car FLEASES is very high. Those who perpetrate this crime look for senior citizens, women and first time buyers as easy marks. Welcome to the sleazy car business.

Notice I said contact the A/G. You didn't mention it but you can forget about the BBB. The BBB doesn't care about you. The BBB's FIRST concern is to collect money from businesses who buy "accredidation" without regard to their business practices.

So Jackie, let me again say, park the car, don't use it and contact the Florida Attorney General's Office. The numbers are 866-966-7226 or 850-414-3990.
Do this AT ONCE.

DO NOT LET THIS DROP, Jackie!

You should be COMMENDED for your concern and care for a senior citzen.

Please, DO NOT LET THIS DROP!!!!
