There are 2 sides to every story. Here, the Customer’s story belies the facts and any reason. The Customer purchased a vehicle from CBB with a sales price of $14,000 and traded in 2 vehicles that were together appraised at $9,500. Unbeknownst to CBB, one of the vehicles traded in had a $21,200 lien from California on it which was not reflected on the credit bureau report. The Customer now claims that CBB was willing to sell him the $14,000 vehicle with a $9,500 offset AND that CBB would pay for the $21,200 lien. This is simply preposterous. On at least 3 occasions, the Customer represented to CBB that there was NO lien on the vehicle. The Customer signed the sale proposal which stated there were no liens or monies owed on the 2 trade-in vehicles. The Customer signed the sale contract which stated there were no liens as well and, if any liens were discovered, that they would be the responsibility of the Customer. After the sale, once CBB discovered that there was a $21,200 lien against the vehicle, CBB has been trying to get the Customer to get the lien released. The Customer had been unable to do so but he learned that the CBB salesman that handled the sale was no longer with CBB. The Customer then has used that in an attempt to now blame the empty chair. CBB has confirmed with that salesman as well as the Sales Manager who handled the transaction that there was not any discussion about the $21,200 lien and this is evidenced by the proposal and all of the contract documents the Customer signed that referenced no liens or encumbrances were against either of the trade-in vehicles. CBB has requested that the Customer return the vehicle and unwind the transaction. The Customer refused to do so and has instead decided to bully CBB by filing complaints and posting negative reviews which necessitated CBB to hire legal counsel to protect its rights. Upon occasion, a customer may not be honest and, in those instances, CBB must stand up for its rights. Unfortunately, this is one of those cases.

I have continued my complaint with the Az attorney general the better business bureau and FTC. This dealership somehow thinks that anyone will believe their lies. You hired a shady salesman and you are responsible. No amount of denying your involvement will chamge that. Deceptive sales practices are illegal and you are accountable. The only case here is the case where this company keep stacking lies on lies. I hope they get what they deserve with the complaints i have filed. Oh and get this. They also fired a salesman that jad nothing to do with any of this because I gave him a good review. Now of course they will lie. Thats all they are good at. But facts are facts. There are too many car dealerships out there for any consumer to risk it going here. Runnnnn. Go to a dealership that does not blame its customers. Find a dealership that does not use deceptive sales practices to trap the consumer. Its just not worth it people. I pray none of you fall victim to their ways.
