[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 615330, member: 1233"] This is why I HATE buying cars. I have a strong dislike of the games and the lies and the pressure. I am glad you have an atty and such strong statutes. I hope it works out well for you and the dealer not only gets the civil fines but also the criminal charges. Stress in court that you are disabled, have had a brain injury, and this jerk took advantage of your challenges to swindle you. You might look into the ADA regulations because if the dealership isn't compliant, those can also count against him. Around here a couple of attorneys will assess a business if they have a disabled client and they file charges for accessibility violations. One dealership got reamed by the judge for having the bathrooms be unaccessible to a client and then pressuring her to stay 'just a little longer' while plying her with soda and coffee so that she wouldn't take the time to read the fine print. Somehow when putting the final paperwork into her packet of papers, the salesman accidentally got some training materials mixed in with them because she was in such a rush to leave to find a bathroom she could get into. So they had a few documents created by the dealership about using tactics like these to get clients to sign for upgrades and things. If I didnt' know both the lawyer and the guy who owns the dealership, I would think the lawyer set it up. She might have, if she knew about the practice being in writing, but she didn't. For one thing the salesman is someone we both know from high school and he hates her (the lawyer). But he is an idiot so he got his stuff mixed up and let the documents out of the dealership and got them in big trouble. While this may or may not be an actual violation in your case, it sure makes the dealership look even more rotten when it looks like they take advantage of someone with challenges. Perception can mean a lot. I hope you get plenty of $$$$ for damages over and above the triple the price you paid. [/QUOTE]
