      Myself and my husband purchased two vehicles from EZ Way. Worst mistake ever I purchased a 2016 Chrysler 200 with less than ******* miles since purchasing it I've had to get a transmission installed now I'm on my second needed transmission! They do not offer any help far as helping you with transportation or a loaner as they said they would I was told there were 10 people in front of me waiting on loaners that's very disturbing so there's 10 more faculty cars their selling besides mine? I work everyday and how can I make the car payments with no way to work

      My wife and I just bought a car from E-Z Way Auto Sales in **********, ** and was told that we have to pay the sales tax on the vehicle when it isn't stated in the paperwork that we are responsible to pay the sales tax before we paid the down payment we wasn't told that we had to pay the sales tax until we signed the paperwork but they let us take the vehicle home and now they are hounding us about paying the sales tax by 9/14/2022 and if not we have to bring the vehicle back and still have to make the car payment and can't have the vehicle back until the sales tax is paid on the vehicle so tell me how that works. If we have to return the vehicle until the taxes are paid then we will want to cancel our finance agreement with them and receive all the money we have paid for the down payment and the car payment that was made on 09/10/2022

      His wife is the only person on this deal.  While his wife was in the office, it was explained to her, by the Sales Manager and the Salesperson, that due to ************** law, she would need to pay the property tax (not sales tax) owed to the *********************** before we could complete the title work on the vehicle.  She then told the Sales Manager and Salesperson she was going to pay the property tax that next week, but she did not pay it. 


      The deadline for them to pay the property tax is today in order for us to get the title work completed in time.  This is not a requirement of ours, this is a requirement of the *********************** for all property taxes to be paid before title work can be processed.    


      The customer paid the property tax today and we have received the receipt.  The title work can be processed now.
