[@Sweetpea1128]

When you are buying a car, don’t be in a hurry! Do your research. Visit other dealers with a notepad and pen to write down things like make, model, year, mileage, warranties and price. Go home and do some figuring and rank your choices, best to worst. Know where you will get your financing and all that is included. Then start with best. Don’t put any money down or sign anything until you are sure it is the deal you want. BE PREPARED TO WALK AWAY IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE DEAL! Be smart!! 👍🏻😃

[@quianawilliams2914]

Very useful advice

[@AnikaBren]

Dealers have most of their inventory online now. You can compare the cars on the lot plus cars at other lots. Cars that you are interested in you can pull up the Kelly Blue Book so you have an very good idea what you are willing to spend. Some dealers will even post the VIN so you can run a CarFax report on them.

[@Sweetpea1128]

@@AnikaBren You are correct. I found my last car on line. But I would still want to test drive it and the walk-away is more effective than just clicking off! 🤣 The first car I bought on my own was in 1992. The salesman actually asked me if there was anyone’s permission I had to get before buying the car. I literally laughed out loud at the question. I was 45 years old! 🤣 We’ve come a long way!

[@daymonnin]

They were lucky to get anything at all. Silly of them to pay a deposit with zero paperwork. And the car dealer is super shady for taking their money like that.

[@jasminecarroll9788]

Harvey's advice at the end is some of the best I've heard him give. If a place asks for a deposit that is 60 or 70% of the sale price, there's a reason, and it's usually not a good one. They're anticipating a fallout and want to make sure the majority of the money is on their side when it happens. A deposit should be 50% MAX, but really closer to 20 or 30%. Especially if you're being told it's just to "run credit." Anything more than that, run like the wind.

[@mexicanspec]

If the car was sold for $11K the deposit was 25% in this case. That is way too much for my tastes.

[@devisissy1]

Yes! This is one of those gross gypsy lots.

[@luteydog]

I believe the mom when she says the salesman told her she had to put $2500 down in order to start the paperwork on the financing. She was naive in not asking for clarification and getting that in writing but I do believe she was duped. She was naive but the used car place was sleazy and dishonest.

[@clovermccombs8597]

How in the world would you not know the payments before you put down a deposit? And I have a feeling this isn't the first time the defendant has been sued.

[@andred7415]

Dealers will pull the "oh it could be gone when you come back but if you give me x deposit can hold it for you" its their way of not letting you just look at cars without buying. They are always putting pressure on you. Wife put $100 to hold her car I didn't care because we were buying one anyway but he got her to hand over cash while I went to piss. Dealers are shady af

[@Birdman-ed5xr]

Your monthly payments are contingent on your credit, hence you don’t know what your payments are until AFTER they process your full credit plus taxes and financing. My advice is NOT to deal with mom and pop car dealership; a real dealership will let you know in a matter of hours what to expect to pay.

[@clovermccombs8597]

Hmm so funny when I bought a car, and my husband bought his trucks, we had a pretty good idea how much the monthly payments would be. Well on the one truck that was financed and not paid in full at the dealership. There is this thing called math. It can easily be done on your phone and give you an approximate of the monthly payments. Insurance will also let you get free quotes. No excuse for what they did.

[@onecuet]

Multiple variables can change depending upon which bank agreed to write the loan. The finance charge, any banking fees + loan amt, duration of the loan = monthly payment. Since the plantiff are a high risk borrower. It probably took a lot of calls to get a bank loan. Some people stay thru this process. Others leave & await a call back. This car dealer was sneaky. The paperwork processing fee is usu $150. That charge needs to be in writing. The plantiffs put a down payment NOT a deposit. They used the wrong terminology, which skewed the case. The car dealer didn't correct them either. He wanted to double dip in the cash on that car!

[@Stressless2023]

Doubt the dealer bought that car for only the amount of their deposit since they were able to resell it for almost 12 grand.

The defendant was not out anything, but knows what to say to keep the deposit, which is why he dodged that he got more selling the car again. For buyers , don’t put a deposit down until your sure that you want the vehicle, otherwise it will be quite difficult to get anything back. The plaintiffs realized it’s better to get a cheaper car outright than all these extra charges for a loan . My advise would be that’s the way to go .

The $2500 was a down-payment to secure financing. People with poor credit need more money down to get approved. That money wasn't just a deposit to hold the car. "I took it off the showroom" is bs. The car never moves until paperwork has been finalized due to the financing possibly falling through. Once the financing was secured I'm sure they detailed the car and maybe even topped off the fuel.

I don't care what its supposed to be, this is a prime example of why certain demographics are taken advantage of. I get sick and tired of the fact that cars are this supposed life decisions, if I havent driven off of the lot with the car, I should be able to change my mind. Period. Her down payment should've been refundable, and quite frankly, there should NOT have been a deposit or down payment necessary until financing was secured! The dealer is in the wrong for not even calling and explaining all of terms of the financing that was secured before having somebody do all of the paperwork to even take the car off of the lot.

The plaintiffs are idiots in judge judy voice. The nerve to sue for their travel expenses when they stopped the sale. She lucky she got anything back and that the price of that vehicle is not stuck to her credit also.

If you have poor credit, then you’re a Thief. You have bad credit because you’ve stolen from past creditors.
