    got totally ripped off

    After my accident last year, my leg was still in cast and so i was unable to ride a bike, i decided that i would go and get an automatic car to get me from A-B. I didn't have much cash to waste on a car since i would be on ACC and off work for 5 months so i went to a shit hole called Discount Car King in Silverdale. I saw a car and took it out, as expected it was a shit heap but i decided to get it checked over and see how much of a shit heap it was before purchasing it. The guy asked for a deposit which was fully refundable if the pre purchase check came back describing the car as a lemon. surprise surfuckingprise the car was a bag full of lemons for the dogeyiest part of lemonfuckinville, so i said sweet no worriesm, gimmie back my 6hundy and i'll be seeing ya..... "er no, we fixed the car and now its fine, you either pay the rest or you lose the cash" so WTF? they do some doge as repairs and expect me to take a car which even after the repairs probably should be squashed and turned into office staples. I decide not to part with anymore cash and go through the process of getting my "fully refundable" deposit back. The guy decides that i should pay $200 for his repairs and he will give me $400 back, not too happy but $400 is better then -$600 so i say ok just gimmie my money back you spinless, worthless unic mother fucker.
    long story to medium length, every time he says for me to drive back to Silverdale from auckland, he is either not there when i get there or miraculously waiting for some one to pay him that day.......
    i must have gone back there 6 or 7 times and got the same bullshit.
    I requested he pay or i go to baycorp, he doesn't pay so i offered him another chance before actually going to baycorp, still no cash, bastard. So i go to baycorp, they do sweet fuck all, "oh we called and he hung up" baycorp have had my account working on this guy since September and i have never once had a call to update me on the progress, i have to call them everytime to ask what the fuck is going on. they are fast enough to call you if you owe them money..... so they make a few filed visits, he aggrees to pay some money and guess what.... never does. So they say what they can do legally which is probably nothing. i call baycorp today, they tell me yes, he has aggreed to pay, yippie kai yay....... he has gone out of business and i am not the only one he owes money to so guess what, he is on the doll and can pay $20 a week............... its gonna take him 30 weeks to pay me back at that rate and $20 a week i won't even notice.

    i thought about taking him to court but he probably won't even turn up.
    i actually know some car dealers and they are pretty honest people (of course i haven;t bought a car off them) but its scum like this fuck tard who just make me lose trust in people. I wish i had a gun

    edit - woops... re-read the post.

    Yeah justice in the land of ours rock don't it? $20/week is the best you'll get and to do anything mroe will cost you money. Sorry chaop - that's the way it is.

    Make sure he pays you EVERY week, and the first hint of him missing the payment should mean you go back to the courts and raise it. I don;t know what happens from there, but someone from debt collections must be in here to advise.

    Also - find out what reasonable steps can be taken to ensure he doesn't do it again... bad Baycorp ratings etc.

    Not good mate - not good.

    i paid the desposit cos the pre purhcase check was the next day and he had interest in this car as it was the only half decent one on the lot and it was supposed to be refundable.

    Cheers MDU, i have been to LMVD and all those people, and there all as usefull as a chocolate tea pot. not much i can do now, the guy is out of business, its pretty much just an expensive leason for me to learn and also another point that cars suck.
    not looking for sympathy, just had to vent some anger....

    Yeah - but there is always the option of having a beer or 6... I find that helps. Especially with busty women serving

    Interest in the car is standard sales bullshit.... "You better buy it now cos I have a guy who is very interested in buying this car as he really likes the XYZ...."

    Did you sign anything with the Dealer's signature that said the deposit was refundable and keep a copy of it?? Or is it your word versus his??

    Looks like you're stuffed.... the idiot may somehow show he doesn't have the funds or some crap.

    Well if you want to just PM me, I'll be in. I reckon if he sees a shit load of leather clad angry bikers turn up outside his house he will probably start unplugging his tv and dvd player before we even kick his door in.

    yeah it was signed as refundable, but yeah he has now shown that he has no funds, he's on the doll, which effectivly means that a small percentage of my taxes are going to him now.

    oh yeah also, this has been going on since April 05 that i have been chasing my dollars

    I'll be in man,no worries Postie. Pretty easy to do without getting grumpy as it only causes law prob's...I prefer assertive and with a smile too. Always worked for me. Will be coming down to Ak's in the near future,a week or so....find his details and all will be sorted.

    Bugger mate. One of those things that piss you off. Why is it illegal to maim people?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
