I very seldom had to ever give it to any enity till I was 50 years old. Now it seems that to do about 40% of transactions and as high as 90%, I'm am forced to do so against my will to survive.

[@CindySorenson-r4m]

The district court determined the amount of loss per car as $4,000 and calculated the total amount of loss as $6,000,000. It thus added fourteen levels to the base offense level for amount of loss. The court added two levels for more than minimal planning; four levels for Whitlow’s role as an organizer or leader; and two levels for obstruction of justice. The district court subtracted two levels for acceptance of responsibility and arrived at a total offense level of 26. The court sentenced Whitlow to four concurrent 36-month sentences and concurrent 60- and 84-month sentences. It also prohibited Whitlow from employment in the used-car industry while on supervised release.

I completed a form sent to me, by Hyundai, and now await a check for $3000.00 because of under handed sells tactics. It happens all the time, believe me!
