After hearing this ad on the radio I went to DriveAmerica, signed three contracts, was given the terms, was given the key, and drove off with a used Jeep Wrangler. I signed these "Contracts" specifically: Vehicle Cash Purchase Agreement, Retail Installment contract and security agreement, and finally I signed a Retail Certificate of Sale. The Jeep was plated to me, and registered in my name thru the DMV, or so I thought when signing the Retail Certificate of Sale. I drove the Jeep for a week, five days, and recieved a phone call from this company stating that the loan fell thru, I needed to come back in and sign another contract, one that puts my co-buyer as the buyer, and I would need to come up with another $500.00 on top of the grand I already gave them. The choice was made clear to me that if I did not re-write the contracts that I would have to return the jeep. I could not come up with another 500 so quickly, and the co-buyer did not want the contracts in her name as buyer. I returned the jeep, grumping all the way, with a written statement for the salesmanager to sign stating the jeep was returned in the same condition as when I picked it up. He would not sign any such agreement and I was sent on my way. Am I wrong in stating that I was always brought up to believe in the word "contract" and to the best of my knowledge, Webster has not changed the definition of the word. Thanks for reading.

To update my original Rippoff Report, I'd like to add a few things. Since the report, I've contacted many different orginizations that may have helped me. The BBB, Senetors office, and the Attorney General. Let me tell you, the ONLY one to actually help me was the Attorney General. They have sent me several letters letting me know they are working on the problem. I called the president of drive america, Steve Knight, only to be told by his secretary that he would not speak to me. I drove to Drive america only to find that they have packed up and left thier place of business. All the cars are gone and the building is locked up, makes you wonder don't it? I will not let this go. I really want to, and may sue for that jeep back, at the minimal, I will get that check for a grand cut to me.
