The past week was a horror. Went in on April 29, 2010 bought a 2005 Kia Sorento. Signed all paperwork (contract) and gave my down payment of $1000. I get a call on May 3, 2010 that the bank did not want to finance me and I needed to return the car or the will have to come pick it up. I told the person I had no problem bringing the car back but I wanted my down payment refunded. The guy told me to come in and he would have a paper for me to sign, that I returned the car. When I get there the person who I talked with by phone was not "available". He was with another guest making a deal. So they sent out a salesmen that I dealt with also. I asked him where was my down payment and he stated it was in accounting and would not be available until after noon the next day. He also did not bring the paper I needed to sign and I said I did not feel comfortable leaving the car and had no paperwork. I went ahead in left after feeling intimidated when I asked for him to sign my paper that I was returning the car. I said I would be back tomorrow to pick up those checks. The next morning I went straight to my bank to cancel those checks I wrote to Capitol Kia for the down payment.
I felt that these people were trying to scam me and giving me the run around. Also when I get back to the dealership the guy only gives me one check and said the other check was already deposited. I new then that these people were trying to take my money and also they broke their contract agreement. Also as I was leaving the dealership I noticed the car was up for sell and was being showcased. I took pictures as proof that the car was being sold again. By the way the cancellation of my checks that I wrote were processed in the nick of time. They did not get a dime from my bank account. These people give car salesmen a bad name. I will be pursuing a lawsuit against them.
