      I was so happy to purchase my first car. I went to Earl's Used Cars and purchased a ******* Sonata. After driving about 5 miles home, the car was smoking under the hood. I called the car lot and they had me to bring it back. I picked it up the next day, which was a Saturday. On Monday, I went to work and back home. Later, the car would not go into gear. I called them, and they told me that it was nothing they could do about it. I explained to them that I had not put 50 miles on the car and I needed a ride to work. They ignored me and treated me in any way. They were very unprofessional. Now, I was stuck with a car on the side of the road because it would not move. Then, I told them that I could not pay for a car to be repaired that I had just bought. The car sat there for 3 months. One day, it was repossessed. Now, I am being garnished on my part-time job for $12,000. Why should I owe $12,000 for a car I put $2500 down on and only drove for roughly 3 days? I feel they took advantage of me because I was 19 years old and a female. I cannot purchase a new car because this car is on my credit. I feel like I have been treated unfairly because I was sold a lemon. They could have at least traded or repaired the car. They did not try to work with me. Now, I may have to file bankruptcy just so I can start over.

      Earls Used Cars is a horrible company to buy a car from. I went in Friday to go buy a car from them and let them hold a deposit of $500 to hold the car for me until Saturday. I didn't see non-refundable or non-transferable on the receipt. I changed my mind about getting the car and went back in to get my $500 and was told that I couldn't get my deposit back. They told me I would have to wait until Monday to see the manager. I highly suggest you run away from this company when trying to purchase a car because they are full of crap. They are nice until you don't want to do business with them or after the car buying process.
