      THERE IS NO RIGHT TO CANCEL OR "COOLING OFF" UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A
      CONTRACT CANCELLATION
      OPTION AGREEMENT
      California law does not provide for a "cooling-off" or other cancellation
      period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot
      later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide
      the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different
      vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract,

      California law does require

      a seller to offer a 2-day contract cancellation option on used vehicles,
      with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory
      conditions. This contract cancellation option requirement, does not
      apply to the sale of new cars, recreational vehicles, motorcycles,
      commercial vehicles or off-road vehicles. See the vehicle contract
      cancellation option agreement for details.

      THIS IS A ***** REMORSE CASE  (simply because you change your mind)

      Transaction date 5/11/2024. Purchased a vehicle from this dealership only took the 30 day 1000 mile warranty commonly offered by dealers, after only 350 miles the transmission went out. I only drove the vehicle from the dealership to my home approximately 200 miles and used it another day about another 150 miles and failed. Called the dealer to let them know of the issue, ******* the salesperson was not working this particular weekend, so I asked the person that answered the phone to transfer me to the manager and said he was busy with customers left my number for him to call me and never did, called later the same day and was told the manager ****, was busy again with customers and told the phone person to tell me to take the car back I have a limited warranty. Asked to have **** call me to discuss the repair process still no call back. Tried calling the salesperson at the cell number she gave me and it was out of service. Transmission failed on a saturday so waited until monday and called the finance company since they had asked me earlier in the week if I had been treated good by the dealer. I called and told them the issue and they said they would contact the dealer and told me they will be canceling the deal with the dealer and told me to make arrangements to send the vehicle back. Emailed the salesperson ******* letting her know I was making arrangements, and someone responded who I believe was **** saying I couldn't return the vehicle and if I did the finance company would come after me and would be considered repossessed. Called back the finance companies manger *********************** and said that the finance company would not be coming after me because they are canceling the contract and getting their money back. After looking at reviews from this dealership this looks like a common practice for this company and its employees.Aside from the mechanical issue they listed several options on the vehicle it did not have and price charged was more than it was advertised.

      To whom it may concern, on may 11th 2024 ****************** did purchase a previously owned 2015 Chevrolet Silverado vin: ***************** with a current odometer reading of ******* miles. ****************** was informed and acknowledged in writing that the manufactures warranty had expired due to time and mileage. ****************** was also informed that he as the prospective purchaser could have the vehicle inspected by an independent 3rd party prior to his purchase CarTime extended him that courtesy but he declined to do so. It was explained to and also endorsed by ****************** that the vehicle came with a LIMITED WARRANTY of 30 days or 1000 miles on the engine and transmission ONLY. That the warranty would cover 50% of the parts and 50% of the labor by a mechanic that CarTime regularly conducts business with which by way of the "BUYERS GUIDE" he agreed to and acknowledged in writing by endorsing it. ****************** also endorsed a statement of facts that CarTime did not provide towing or roadside assistance of any kind and that it would be his responsibility to drive or transport the vehicle to CarTime for any and all warranty work. ****************** was offered an extended service agreement that he declined in writing to purchase. ****************** did purchase the contract cancellation option agreement for $250 nonrefundable dollars, that agreement clearly states that ****************** purchased the right to return the vehicle within 48 hours by may 13th 2024 at 8:00pm and with 250 miles or less not to exceed 114,459 miles. CarTime's first contact post sale with ***************** was Monday May 20th 2024 11 days after the date of sale, when he called CarTime he was informed that yes, he did have a 30-day 1000-mile warranty on the engine and transmission only and that as he acknowledged in writing that it was his responsibility to drive or transport the vehicle to CarTime at *********************************************. It was at this point that ****************** became irate demanding and unreasonable, demanding that CarTime tow his truck to the nearest Chevrolet Dealership and pay them 100% of the cost to have a brand new transmission installed by factory technicians. CarTime reiterated to ****************** that he was currently covered by the LIMITED WARRANTY of 30 days or 1000 miles and that after proper inspection and diagnosis CarTime would honor and pay 50% of the parts and 50% of the labor if it was determined that the transmission was faulty. CarTime has tried to reach out to ****************** to try and resolve his issues to no avail. CarTime will honor anything and everything in writing it promised on the date of sale.

       I am rejecting this response because: The dealers response is not accurate, the conversation I had with ******* (salesperson) I told her that I had gotten 3 quotes at local shops and of those 3 I had the preference of one particular shop that gave me the shortest repair time and the repairs would be for a remanufactured transmission.
      I had never demanded for them to pay for the tow back to their dealer I explained to ******* that I had teo quotes $1500 and $1700 to have the vehicle towed back to their dealer and I would prefer to have it repaired in my town. There was never a mention of a Dealer or a new transmission to be utilized I am aware that would not be option.

      I also let her know because of their failure of getting back to me to address the issue until 3 days later and ******* contacted me only because I reached out to the credit Union to let them know of the Issue is when she reached out to me.
      I emailed ******* after speaking with the manager at the credit union to let her know I would be towing the vehicle back to their dealership and I WOULD COVER the tow fee but to return the vehicle. 
      Manager at the ************ ************************* understood the issue and said he would contact the dealer to let them know they would be undoing the contract and asking for their money back.
      After letting ******* know I was paying and towing the vehicle for that reason. I got an intimidating response telling me the credit union would come after me and it would be considered a repossession, I let ******************** at Tustin ************ know what the dealer said and he assured me that would not be the case since the were going to undo the deal. 
      That is where we stant as of 5/22/2024.

       I am rejecting this response because: I had the vehicle towed at my expense and dealer advised they would contact me and its been 5 days since they've had the vehicle, I messaged ******* the salesperson requesting an update and no response. I want them to take back this vehicle, I do not trust this business handling any potential repairs.

      They cant make good on an update they said they would do and I will not trust them to do a repair on a timely manner, this behavior is in line with all the negative complaints and reviews they have.

      They obtain credit with false information on credit applications. And tell the customer what to say when verifying their information. The business is a scam and I strongly suggest it be investigated immediately. They charged me a $750 restock fee for their own fraudulent mistake. They are extremely crooked. The cars are not quality, and they ALL lie to the lenders. YES I will speak to the news media about this business.

      Dear BBB, regarding *************************, the information provided to the financial institution was exact same information provided to the dealership via her online credit application. the online application has her IP address and E authorization confirming that the information she provided was true and correct under penalty of perjury.

      The $750.00 that ************** making reference to is the contract cancellation option agreement that she purchased at the time of sale - $250.00 for the purchase of the cancellation option and a $500.00 is a restocking fee, ************** simply exercised her cancellation option agreement that she purchased at the time of sale.and the $1,750.00 check was giving to her is the rest of her down payment after deducting the $250.00 and the $500.00  was cashed by her on 11/02/2023

      We have all supporting documentation and can provide it upon request.

      P.S. the date of purchase was on 10/262023 / cancellation date was 10/28/2023 ( Customer came in and canceled her contract under contract cancellation option agreement )

      ************** simply exercised her right and changed mind of purchasing the vehicle ( Buyer Remorse ) within the term and time of her cancellation agreement signed buy her.

      the facts of the matter are you did purchase the 2019 Chevy Malibu and you did not make your 1rst payment or second payment to challenge financial and your vehicle was repossessed due to no payments .
      all the story's your fabricating contradict the sales contract that you endorsed a total of 10 times and all supporting documents regarding the purchase of the 2019 Chevy Malibu that you make reference too

      On Dec. 4th I purchased a 2015 Honda Civic. I gave 8500 down and financed close to 16000. The car had 81500 miles. The condition of the car was not in a sellable condition. Owning the car for less than a month I've had to pay out of my pocket for repairs that should have been done by the dealer before putting the car on the lot for sale. Repairs the cars needs are head lights. Fog lights the wiring is incorrect the day lights remain on unless the car is turned off. I had to have the brakes replaced after 2 days. The clutch replaced after 3 weeks. I was falsely sold a extended warranty. I specifically asked if it would cover the clutch and was told it did that it cover everything on the car. According to the market value, for what I paid I should have been given a low milage car in close to new condition. The car I received should not have been price anymore than 8000. Aside from giving a down payment of 8500 I've had to pay close to 4500 in repairs including the falsely sold extended warranty.

      hello, on December 02/2021 Mr ******** ****** walked in to our dealer with his wife and said im hear to look at the 2015 Honda civic Si Vin: ***************** and miles ***** ,

      we did everything by the book customer test drive the car and fully inspected the car  and then did all the paperwork to buy it and everything went well and nothing was promised at the time of sale and we even offered him the extended warranty and he refused at the time of sale and had only the warranty we provide for free witch is 30 days or 1000 miles engine and transmission only 50/50 parts and labor witch ever comes fist

      on December 30/2021 we received an email for the customer  saying they are interested of buying and extended warranty for the car and we did help them with that and they did not mention anything about the car having and problems what so ever and they did end up buying the extended 3rd party warranty and we charged the card and emailed the contract for the warranty and everyone happy .

      on January 6/2022 customer emailed us and told us the warranty we got helped us to tow the car to  multiple locations throw the road assistant they  provide for their customers but they don't wanna cover the clutch because its considered wear and tear and is a regularly scheduled maintenance item like brakes/ tires / oil change .......

      and we told them yeah that's true no one dose and we sent you the warranty papers and disclosures and brochures before you even agree to buy it  and he said yes i know.

      at that point the car was over the 30 day warranty and over the 1000 miles and our warranty was expired and even if it was not it wont cover clutch.

       I am rejecting this response because:

      As a dealer the vehicle should be in good driveable condition. The vehicle should not have been driving given it had no Breaks, clutch was just about done, forgot to mention the airfilter was completely cover in black gunk, lights are not in working condition. This falls under the lemon law

      the vehicle was fully inspected and we did all the safety inspection before we even offer the vehicle for sale  

      AS FAR AS LEMON LAW !!!!!!   LEMON LAW IS ONLY FOR NEW CARS NOT  FOR A USED  2015 HONDA CIVIC
      CUSTOMER DID A FULL TEST DRIVER BEFORE BUYING
      CUSTOMER DID A FULL INSPECTION BEFORE BUYING

      SORRY NOTHING WE CAN DO AT THIS POINT
