I just moved to ******* in October... On the 21st/22nd I purchased a 2015 kia rio in cash for over 9,000$... They put metal plates on the car and let me go with the keys. A couple weeks later in November at about 10 p.m...I get pulled over by a state trooper who ran my plates and registration came up invisible...so the officer took the plates off and told me to park the car in a gas station/********* 150 miles away from my house... I had to call multiple tow companies and I spent 1,388$ on a tow that didn't come until 8 a.m the next day... So I slept in a car in a parking lot overnight with a car that wasn't properly filed...and I went to duncan suziki the morning I got home and he said he couldn't do anything about it... I had 20$ to my name after paying the tow company for THE DEALERSHIPS mistake. He decided to only pay 900$ of the 1,388$ I had to pay... He didn't pay the full amount....nor did he offer to refund some money on the car that wasnt properly handled. He offered me to use dealership plates for 5 days and said he would talk to the officers and maybe get the plates back or eventually get me new ones. I would appreciate if he would refund me the total I paid the towing company AND refund some or half of the purchase price of the vehicle back to me for their mistake.
