    I purchased a Kia ******* PHEV in October 2021 from *********************. The sales person was great, but the finance person premised the sale of the car on the purchase of one of their warranty packages. I pushed back on purchasing a warranty multiple times, but because I had driven over an hour to the dealership and stock was low, I agreed to purchase the platinum package warranty so I could secure the vehicle. Ive since learned it is illegal to require warranty purchases with new vehicles. This was not a financing requirement. Suspiciously, there was no paperwork provided confirming the warranty purchase or the scope of coverage. Between Jun 2022 and now, *** made repeated attempts to obtain information regarding the warranty I allegedly obtained. First and foremost, I am entitled to a full refund of the warranty since the sales practice was fraudulent and unethical. Secondarily, I am seeking to obtain documents evidencing the purchase and scope of coverage provided under the warranty so civil proceedings can be initiated, if appropriate.

    ***, 

     

    ************ no longer owns the dealership.  I have attached the documents signed by you. Every document states that these product are optional.  You have the option to cancel these products at anytime.  You are not entitles to a full refund, only the unused miles and time.

    I just purchased a 2023 Suburban Friday 9/23/22 my sales person was good. ********* told me there would be different interest rates depending on the bank. So he gave me the highest one with a perfect score and I am not able to obtain my results from the credit application they returned. Basically they gave me a deal on the suburban but took it back through financing. ********* is very rude and talks fast to try to trick you into his schemes I am ready to handle this the appropriate way of getting a lower interest rate that I deserve or bringing this to rhe next step.

    ********, 

    I am very sorry to hear your are not happy with the current interest rate that the bank approved you for. Based on the way interest rate have climbed over the past few month, you were given a very good interest rate compared to what I have recently seen.  You can pay off the loan with your own secured financing as there is no prepayment penalty.  The banks set the rates based on the *************** and I am not sure if you have been keeping up with the current inflation problems facing this country, but this is what has caused high interest rates.  Most customers are shocked about the current rates and inflation, but this is not something that the Gary Lang Auto Group can solve for you.  I am sorry for the increase in the rates, but I suggest your send your message through your VOTE this November.
