CalCars Ripoff and Harrassment East Peoria Illinois

Like many of you that have bought vehicles at Calcars and do nothing but complain, you are obviously not well informed consumers. A lemon law can only be applied to vehicles that have never been previously owned and has been in for the same repair more than four times in six months. A USED car with probably more than 100,000 miles on it does not qualify under said law.

As far as your payment goes, you agreed to terms regardless of your delay at your employment. What you are saying is that Calcars was not a priority. If you were in jail and needed to be bailed out that evening, I bet you could find somebody to get bail money to the jail house.

Think about what you are complaing about..... YOU picked out a used car, Calcars offered financing with a few stipulations and all you can do is complain because these people wanted you to fulfill your end of the agreement.

I purchased a car through CalCars back in 1999/2000. I was very excited. I was just a waitress and needed transportation. My father had to co-sign on a 1994 Ford Tempo. It cost me a little over $5,000! Three days after I purchased the car, it broke down on me. I asked them to fix it and they refused, telling me that I bought the car "as is" and they are not responsible.

Well, I'm not one of the ignorant customers they are used to. I knew about the Lemon Law. So they changed their mind and said they had their own mechanics who can fix it for me. It took them a month to put in a rebuilt engine and a few minor repairs.

Two weeks after that, the brakes needed fixed. Throughout the two years I owned the car, I had to put on tires, brakes, altenator, rotors, etc. One particular evening, when my payment was due...I had to go to work, so I wasn't able to make the payment until the following morning.

One of the salesmen called my job telling me I had bring in the money or they were going to come repoe the car. I told him I had the money but I was at work. He yelled at me, telling me I had to borrow the money from someone and have them come down and make the payment. I told him I would try. Nobody was available to make the payment for me. The same salesman called me six more times within just an hour harrassing me, telling me I had to pay or they were going to repoe the car.

Finally my mother called CalCars, told them if they continued to call and harrass me at work then she was going to contact a lawyer. They stopped calling. I brought in the payment the very next morning, and they acted as if the night before never happened. no apologies. nothing.

A few other people I know personally alos purchased cars through CalCars. and they have had very similar problems as well. I will never buy another car from them, and I will never advise anyone else to buy a car from them, no matter how desperate they are. it is not worth it!
