Battling Dealerships.. - 3/21/2008 5:53:49 PM    SDimeBlazerlady Posts: 487 Joined: 9/9/2006 From: Everett,Wa Status: offline So heres another great drama in my life,My friend that has the Firebird got in the middle of battling dealerships. He took in his 99 Grand Am SE bout 3 months ago to trade for the 01 Firebird Convert. he has now..Well it seems 1 dealership is battling the other over some kinda bad trade in (down,payment etc,) No sure the whole story.anyways the 2 dealerships and my friend are going to court over this issue.I told my friend to beware that the 1 dealership might come Repo the Bird even though he is upto date on his payments and he thinks they wont, he calls it a revenge repo and he wont owe on his firebird if they take it and auction it off.I told him they can and will consider it a repo no matter what and he will owe on whats left of his loan after auction..anyone know bout this? am i right? or what.. _____________________________ Former owner of a 1987 S10 Blazer V6 2.8 5sp.

They messed up and made the mistake of auctioning a car they had no title for and therefore if they go back on the trade in deal they need to recover his GA and give it back to him if they take back the firebird and then on top of that reimburse him the money spent on the firebird since the deal didn't get properly completed and reversed!! _____________________________ 2001 2wd 4.3 vortec v6 "I'm not fat, I'm a minitrucker" (in reply to swartlkk) Post #: 9

That this guy was buying the GA from KC Motors on a buy here pay here deal. Well, the trade would of been OK had the GA been paid for but it wasn't. Doug's wasn't going to pay it off. So when Dougs called this guy basically the deal was off. Meaning he would have to pay off the GA before the deal was good. Why it took a month to figure this out I have no idea. Anyway Doug's was stuck with a GA & no title so they auctioned it off to get their money out of the Bird. Again I maybe wrong & hope I am but your buddy is SCREWED. He will have to pay for both cars at least. I guess from what I'm hearing is he wasn't straight up with the deal. If you trade off a car you owe money on the dealer has to pay it off, but my guess is they thought it was paid off & he just hadn't got the title yet. Car dealers are shady but not stupid.
