that is what my friend trying to fight with dealership .. coz dealer said the car isnt his anymore so they have to done it at the Mitsu service department which is $75 for each window and $120 for the rear .. ended up $420 ..... and they wont allow my friend to remove it at all ......... and after couple weeks later .. me and my other friend went there for a peak .. guess what .. that car still has tint on it image how freaking mad my friend was when we told him this ...


well did you tinted it already ??? ... if so .. dont go back until you removed it .. just talk with them over the phone ... I know most of the dealers keep saying that you have to go to their office or warehouse etc .. its just the way how they start pushing customers.. because they can see you at your face and telling you different stories ... I used to be car dealers too and WE TRAINED for it ...


so just becareful .. hope everything will be alrite for you

Let me get this straight. The dealership calls you and tells you that you still owe from your previous car. Depending on the laws in the state you live in, you may have to pay it. The paperwork on your purchase is nowhere near being done. It was to be the dealerships job to get an exact payoff on your previous loan on the day of the purchase. But its also your job not to go into a dealership blind and not know your payoff before you bought your Evo. I would call the bank that you had the Neon loan with and ask them what was the exact payoff on the date you purchased your Evo. If it is less than $12490.00 then the dealer is tring to screw you. If it was $12490 then you should pay it. You owe someone money that trusted you and borrowed you money when you need that Neon. If you don't pay it back, be ready to see it on your credit report. Now try to buy another car (after your done abusing this one) with a decent interest rate.

the dealership isnt screwing you over. Read the damn resision rights on your contract. Damn all these kids just signing papers and not reading them. Every time you buy a new car, the dealer has 10 days to make the deal go though, if it cant go though (mostly due to your credit or lack of, low down payment or difference in payoff amounts) then they ask you to pay the difference or put down more or get a co-signer. The oppisite thing happen to my g/f, she just bought a 06 WRX TR and she got a pretty nice check back because of differences in payoff amouts.

I agree, offer to give it back to them. I doubt they would go for it because 1) they probably made more than $490 on you 2) whether it was a new car or used it would depreciate more than $490 and they would be loosing money if they took it back.

This is a true statement. You should have known your exact payoff amount. The dealership should have gotten that information for you as well, if you didnt already get it. So if you did owe the 490 extra then you would owe them the money, however. If they told you that they would pay off your loan no questions asked then thats there problem. It can go either way.

It's very simple. Take advantage of this. Give back the Evo! Once you've done this, take your SRT somewhere else, pay the extra 490 or whatever that it works out to be in the end and then get another EVO. it's definitely worth it, since your clutch is burnt, it's totally depreciated, etc. It's definitely worth it for you, unless they try to make you pay for the new clutch....then that's a problem, though I suppose you would win that in court, since it's their fault for giving you the car when the paper work hadn't gone through yet. They didn't act with due diligence and simply gave you the car to use, telling you it was yours to use (and abuse) at your own discretion.

the resision rights say that if they ask you for the car back, it should only have nomal wear and tear. So, they'll probably charge him and get away with it.

No, they won't charge him and get away with it. If your described incident were to take place, they'd mark it down as an "unwind". An "unwind" is where they take the car back because the deal never went through with the bank, but they'd never charge the customer back for anything. If they did, tell 'em to go **** themselves... with a smile.

About the initial $490 problem that was described... it's the dealership's fault for not plugging in the additional 490 dollars into the pay-off section while structuring the deal. They screwed up and were trying to fix it. But even if you say no, there's nothing they can do.

If this issue is still going on, simply state... "Next time, have your desk guy get the proper pay-off information."

They can't touch you. But if your clutch is burnt and you do so desire a new EVO... take your SRT back and trade up with another dealership.

Tell them to suck you sideways. They won't forfeit close to $20k in hard sales for $500...especially not at month end.
