Yeah they messed up big time. What they should do is do up an LX for you.

 

I could see in the picture that quite obviously the MSP wheels are 5-lug so i immediately assumed that since they are selling me those wheels WITH the car and are INSTALLING those wheels on the car that they knew it was a 5-lug car as well, but as luck turns out..........and what concerns me also is this, let's suppose that they KNEW the car was 4-lug, cuz seriously they ARE the experts, and they KNEW they haven't had a sale in a long time (which they hadn't) and they KNEW that i would buy that car that day if I thought it was coming with those wheels, they knew the whole time the wheels wouldn't fit, but basically lied to me to get the sale and figured they would say "oh wow, we didn't know, hey we'll get you another set of wheels" even though they knew

and the insurance thing, yes it is signed that i am to "furnish insurance" but the vehicle is now classiffied as NonOperational and is garaged and i gave them the mileage amount on the vehicle and next time they see the car it will have the same mileage on it, therefore no reason to have insurance.....

 

I have been in touch with the BBB, county DA's office of consumer affairs and the State Attorney General, and the complaints have been forwarded from each agency to the dealership.......the next step if they don't contact me, is to get a letter from them stating that they will not negotiate a settlement with me and then with that letter i can take it to the American Arbitration Association and file for arbitration, and if that doesn't settle it, then a court hearing can be then be made.........i just hope they come to their senses and own up to their mistake, and the sooner the better.......

 

the reason i put all the crap about the spec v, and yes i agree it's all crap, the whole mess is crap, but it's to show the fact that i went in their to buy that particular car, and because they misrepresented a different vehicle i ended up buying the other one, which comes to down to fraud, and again, "deceptive conduct" the deciding factor on the purchase is not the truth,

 

Have you asked the dealership to give you the cost of the wheels ($1200.00?) since the wheels wont fit?

You paid for them in the price of your car, so if they dont fit, take the money.

If you can walk away with $1200.00, i would consider that a good deal that both parties could live with.

 

i am actually considering exactly that, i don't want this ordeal to go on and on and on, but then again, i've already set so many ***** in motion i don't know if there is any going back! and i don't want to compromise myself and the time i've already put into this, but i will hold off a week, and i am getting the response from the DA's office today hopefully, so by next week i will decide whether to settle that route, or to take it all the way.........

 

update?

 

Bump...Yeah, how about an update we read the whole story. What's the latest?

 

i posted a new thread about a week ago, guess it was missed though.

After not having a car for about a month, i just wanted to end the whole mess and get back in my car! The district attorney contacted the dealership with my complaint, and they were quick to make an offer of a cash settlement of $1400. i was happy, i ordered some nice wheels for $500, they'll install them tommorrow hopefully, and now i got 900$ burning a whole in my pocket! some will go toward paying off credit cards, and possibly my stereo/and or car alarm...

 

glad you got that settled, now go enjoy your Protege!
