March 17, 2000 I was listening to my car radio (FM-98) when I heard a advertistment from Bohn Bros Toyota -- no down payment, no interest and no payment until 2001. I went to the dealership they try not to give me the deal. I told them that I heard the advertistment on the radio and I gave them the name of the station. Well, they decided to honor the advertistment. At least, thats what I thought. Then the finance person said it would be better if I lease the car because I trade in cars every three years, so I did. This was the first time I had leased a car, I was new at it. Botton line they gave me a check for $4,000.00 to cover the payment until 2001. Mr Frank Livingston added the $4000.00 back in the price of the car and boosted the price up. The car was on the lot for $18,000.00. So the $18,000.00 car is now a 25,000.00 plus car. I did not know until one of the sales person accidently informed me of this. Bohn Bros. told me the price for leasing was different then purchasing a car.
When I tried to get some answers all they said was you sign a contact. Billy the manager was a very nasty person. I tried to no avail to get this problem resolved. I even tried to refinance the car, but Bohn Bros would not help me. And I did not know that the insurance was higher on a leased car. They would not tell me the interest rate on the car or the APR. Is it legal to sell a car ove the MRSP (20,000.00)? When I saw the car it was on the clearance lot for $18,000.00 It jumped up to $25,000.00 I know little about leasing and I know I made a big mistake in trusting the dealership. Now my credit is ruined because of an over-priced Camry LE 4cyl. I have tried everything to get the dealership to help me. This is my last resort. I will turn in the car because I can't afford the insurance. My hair is falling out, and I can't sleep at night because of this nightmare, I am so stressed out.
