Replying to: graphicguy (Aug 01, 2006 6:31 am) I don't get it either. I can't imagine buying anything from any retailer who has such a reputation. Customers with good credit don't have to put with with sleazy crap (for some reason some do)...the guy who never pays his bills needs somebody like Heard to get him financed (or so he thinks) and will agree to any terms to get what they want...The thought process goes like this...they probably won't pay for it anyway, so who cares if the interest rate is 25% and the car is $2000 over MSRP. All that matters is getting the car they want, at any price. I don't have the stomach for that kind of dealing.

Replying to: jmurman42 (Aug 01, 2006 6:33 am) Sorry but I disagree. The comments were made after reading the various stories and complaints with regards to Bill Heard. According to the first amendment, all Americans have the right to express their opinion on the matter. I would venture to say that 90% of the posts on Edmunds are personal opinions, are we going to ban those posts too? If some of these customers wanted to, they could assemble and protest near the nearest publically owned land or road near Bill Heard. There is nothing Bill Heard can do but tell their side of the story. In the case of the gentleman who had his truck repossessed because Bill Heard made an error, I think the dealership's response was very weak (blaming it on a rookie salesman).... |

Replying to: jmonroe (Aug 01, 2006 8:02 am) Mistakes in the above sentences. 1. Improper use of "ain't" - replace with isn't. 2. Improper use of "Weren't" - replace with Didn't. 3. Improper use of "learned" - replace with learn. 4. Improper use of "I was" - replace with "I did" And there should be a period or a hyphen after "3rd grade", not a comma. Jmonroe, if you are correcting someone else's writing, please be correct in your own. |

Replying to: tidester (Aug 01, 2006 9:26 am) But while I got you here I want to repeat a question. That I asked here... Post #2565 I can use my personal account to share some videos of stuff with our cars if it is ok with the hosts. I will make sure you cannot see the dealership name anywhere on the videos. Is that go or no go?

Replying to: dc_driver (Aug 01, 2006 9:04 am) Car dealers usually don't sue for slander... they stay out of court whenever possible... hard to find a sympathetic jury, see... -Mathias (Who has never been taken for a ride by a car dealer yet. Private sellers have tried...)

Replying to: jmonroe (Aug 01, 2006 8:02 am) Here in Orlando, there was a news article about Bill Heard being fined $250K by the state of Florida for deceptive practices. And I agree with the folks about being careful with what you say on public fora.
