      I contacted Shannon motors looking to finance a car. I was not looking to lease a car. When ** called me I explained I have been to over 5 dealerships and none have been able to get me financed without having a larger down payment. I told him I did not want to come in to waste time that I needed to know Ill be approved before. He called back said I had an approval, I verified with him that it was to finance a car not lease or purchase. He confirmed. When I arrived he told me my trade in plus 300$. He took my car and gave me 200$ credit and I gave him 300$ cash. He told me that the Camry I was given was my only option no other car would be approved. He told me the price was *****. I agreed to that price and got my insurance information switched over to the Camry. He then had me go to a seperate building to sign paperwork. That lady gave me paperwork for a lease I AGAIN mentioned I came in to finance and not lease and that he didnt go over the lease he said it was financed. She said I did not qualify for finance and this is my only option. She blew threw 50 pages of me signing things that she barely explained. I mentioned that was not here for a lease many times. Now that I have the car for 3 weeks the lease is listed on my credit and it shows a total of almost $23000. I called to ask why it was so much more then he told me and he sent me to the people in the office that I signed with. She explained that I am financing because Im buying it at the end, she said Im paying weekly taxes because they pay the county, but the car is registered in my name. They told me I had 30 days to pay for the plates and then called in under 2 weeks telling me the temp ones were not active because they have the plates. They are charging me a rental fee on a lease. They are charging me tax when the paperwork says 0$ on tax. Nobody went over any rental charge, no interest is listed but she says that is the interest charge. Nothing they have said has stayed same.

      I worked with *****. He made it a very stress free painless process. Left same day with a car that had very realistic and doable payments. Highly recommend!
