The GM Financial Shaft

[bshort]

Found a GM dealer that will pay 53,870.  She'll be gone on Friday.

It's probably buried in the fine print that nobody reads. Because we all just want to sign and drive! I seriously doubt that all of the car companies doing this have not done their homework on the subject. I mean why would they want to be sued if what they are doing is wrong?

 

Intimidation works. I had a Ford Rep tell me to sue Ford if I thought I had more money than they for something I should have taken to small claims court. I backed right down. But, hey, the inexperience of youth. Right? Instead I never ever bought another new Ford nor have any of my six children. There is more than one way to skin a cat as they say. 

 

Corps do the unlawful thing all the time. And get away with it. The general public makes all sorts of assumptions based in fear and not in fact. 

 

You may total right but asking the question as I have should send up red flags for others even thinking of a lease. Have your lawyer read you lease agreement and if you don't like it and accept it anyway......stupid.

I don't even understand the idea of believing that you have no choice. 

That you must buy whatever is offered

That the world will end if you don't

There is an entire generation of young people willing to tell the auto industry to take a hike

Just might catch on

Spend 10K on legal fees, just to get 5K back.....sound financial advice just to stick it to GM.

That is a really poor assumption.

 

Small claims or contingency suits. No lawyers allowed or no legal payments unless the suit is won. 

There are ways. Sue the right 'person' in the right format. 

 

I don't have a dog in this fight but poor advice is advice that tells you to give up before you've even investigated  your options. 

 

Your not sticking TO GM. They are sticking it to YOU.

Careful there.  If you start making too much sense, Al will come over here and try to ban you again.

Hundreds of people walk in dealerships sign the papers and drive off everyday. Not even thinking about a lawyer. LOL

Lol, yeah.  I'm hanging by a thin thread there.  Prohibited from posting on any COVID posts now because I called him out on his false statistics.  Of course he closes and deletes those anymore.  Oh well.

I'm glad he does. This is a car site . If you want to argue with people about Covid , go somewhere else. So sick of politics lately , i just want to come here and talk trucks.
