I bought a toyayota seqouia from Mint Auto Sales i traded in a suv i owed them 1500 more for the down payment.

The car ran pretty good for about 2 weeks, then the suv started running hot. I notified my car salesman about the problem. He replied the car was sold as is and your responsible for the car. When will you be able to bring in the rest of your down payment.

I replied there's no way i would be able to make that down payment and get the car fixed, he said we are going to need the down payment from you are bring the car in until you complete the down.

I had no way of getting to work the car was running hot and they wanted me to drive to the lot and turn the car in until i complete the down. i left the car at work until i could get the money to tow it to a shop for repairs. i went to Mint Auto Sales and took them 800 dollars more.

a week later they picked the car up from work where it had been sitting, told me the repoed the car for the rest of the down. About 3 years later they filed a civil suit against me claiming i had a warranty on the car. I never received such paper work for going to court on this matter.

On the complaint states they served me personaly, at a house i have'nt lived in at least 2 years received a judgement on me when i wasn't there to plead my case. Sued me for a repair warranty on the car i didn't know i had.

The salesman said it was my responsibility the forgot to mention to me about this warranty I'm currently paying for. Do not purchase from this shady company your better off going to a major dealership at least the will back there product. I"m sorry I had to learn the hard way. don't get mixed up with this shady lot. Don't Shop Shady Lot.

MINT AUTO SALES, INC., REPLIES TO UNFOUNDED ACCUSATIONS!!

AUTHOR: Mint Auto Sales, Inc. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, December 31, 2008

Did you ever notice that on most claims above a business ripoff of a consumer, they leave out a lot of information. Businesses in California are highly regulated by
the State of California.

I'm not sure who this customer is who has report a ripoff by Mint Auto Sales, Inc.,
but I can state that Mint Auto Sales, Inc., runs a very highly regarded dealership,
we comply with all the State of California regulations and laws as well as all Federal
Laws.

This customer states the car ran pretty good for about 2 weeks and then started to run hot. First I would question if they had purchased a warranty, and secondly
if they did......did they contact the warranty company?? When you purchase a car
"AS-IS" that is a clear message of the dealers obligations.

I believe from reading the complaint the customer failed to pay the down payment on the contract. In this world, if you don't pay you face legal issues. No business
would repossess a vehicle unless the debtor was in default and that appears to be the real issue here.

mint sold me a car and included a contract to repair the car. i didn't know about this contract until i was sued. i feel they took advantage of my bad situation. i only want to add is be very careful of what u sign, and read every piece of the contract put in front of you. never trust that they are looking out for you. they are out to take advantage of you. be careful. i will dedicate my weekends protesting in front of their business of this companies practices. boycotting this business.
