North Texas Nissan ripoff by Sean Hodges Finance Director Corinth Texas

I had the very unfortunate oppurtunity to do bussiness with these crooks. I was purchasing a 2005 Nissan Altima from them or so I thought. I will not get in to all of the details hear but I will say that I was in the car for two mounths and getting concerned dou to the fact that I had yet to receive a payment book from the bank. I was about to call them to see whatto do when I was called by them and told that I needed to bring them an additional $1000 and that my payments would double.

It did not matter to them that I had a contract already. I am notthe type to deal with this treatment so I went out and got a differant car and and took theirs back to them. When I returned the car to Mr. Hodges and asked for my deposit back he told me the I would not get it back because they were charging me for renting the car. He then told me that if I did not leave he would call the Police and have me arested. I as a man with some wit left but went straight to the Corith Police Department and told them what happened.

They Laughed and told me I did not need to leave because that dealership pulls that so often that they no longer asnswer calls there. In that officers word, they deserve what ever happens to them and they will not waist any assets to protect them from there own dishonesty. I was fortunate that I saw what was going on and got the heck out of it and that I had a banker that entered the deposit as a fraudulent draft and gave me my money back, but I know I was lucky. I turned to the BBB in my case and found them to be equaly crooked. They took the dealerships word over mine, the bank, and the Police and at lasr check still show that sespool in good standings.

It seems that a lot of times when a customer has negative equity the dealership will add on additional warranties to the contract so the customer won't have to put down an excessive amount of money. It does seem that you could have gotten your warranties refunded a little faster from the dealership, but that's probably your negative equity they are refunding to you. All in all you probably didn't get the bad deal you think you did. Maybe a little frustrating, but not a bad deal.

They sometimes put fear in the buyer that they will not get financed if they do not buy that extra crap. Many only tell car buyers this crap so they can increase the size of their next week's pay check. They are fast to take your money, but when its time for you to get some money from then they take for EVER to give it back.

Read these, they very informative.

My big beef is that I can't find any other AG's office in this country that spanks car dealers. If they do I can't find any that have any posted proof that they car spanking car dealers that have fishy ways of doing business.

Many car dealer employees try to come to this web site and try to defend their deceptive ways. Makes me sick!

They are fast to take your money, but when its time for you to get some money from then they take for EVER to give it back. Want proof as to how hard a guy had to work to get his $2000 back ?
