Refreshing the page resubmits your post resulting in a triple post. Nice story but we don't need it posted 3 times. Back to Bill. So who thinks this is an honest mistake on some paperwork or a sly attempt to extort more money from the buyer? How often do you think they pull it and what is the percentage of buyers who go along? |

related, but not completely on topic. i know someone who is pretty much a genius at figuring out how to get a vehicle. this person will pretty much be in the custody of the state for the rest of their life, sad.  story #1: it is cold and nowhere to go, so they sit in the emergency room of a hospital. guy delivering chinese food brings in an order. subject person jumps in the still running car, drives to his brother's house. knocks on the door and says, 'i got us all chinese food for dinner'. cops called, but he gets way for a few days. story #2: calls me up after get released. he always asks about my mustang 'the horse'. says is going to stop over for my daughter's birthday party if it is ok. 'sure fine with me'. anyways he asks 'what are you driving now?'. i tell him 'eb explorer'. day of the party he shows up driving one. turns out he sat outside the dealership where i bought, in a snow storm. when they moved the vehicles to plow the lot, he jumped in one they had just moved and left with the keys in it.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 28, 2006 12:53 pm) Bill Heard seems to be the type of sleeze-bag (and that description is being kind) that has given dealers in general their bad name. Is it possible that an automobile dealers assoc. or something like it can do something to put an end to guys like him or is he too powerful ? I think I know the answer but your input is welcome. Consumers should be able to do it but we know they are too dumb !!! jmonroe

Replying to: graphicguy (Jul 28, 2006 1:31 pm) I've read scores of posts, from members who have gotten "burned" on vehicle purchases from dealerships they had bought from before... and had "trusted". So, I wouldn't be putting to many of my eggs in the "trust" basket. |

Is the reaction of the police and authorities. It fits with the image our friends who live nearby there keep telling us. It's the antiperson climate of the nonunion Nissan plant that's with 12 miles of the dealership. It's the workman's comp problems they've run into. It's the zoning problems they've run into. Very antiperson, pro business. In my opinion, the repossession should have been rewarded with charges. |
