My husband purchased a car from an Ebay auction. The finance company sends a blank check to you so you can fill it out up to the amount you are approved for. Plainly stated on the check is a date that the check becomes invalid. This is approximately 30 days from the day you receive the check. Hubby flew to VA to get car in Dec. January rolled around &hubby wondered why he hadn’t received a payment book. He called the finance co. They told him the dealership hadn’t cashed check yet& told him to wait. Then the dealership calls him because the check bounced. They didn’t cash it in the alloted time, but they wanted to charge for bad check, turn him in to police in Virginia, etc! Hubby called back and told them it was not his fault &they knew they had 30 days to cash check. He had to do finance process again. Now we have the new check but no one from dealership will take his call or return calls for a week.He spoke to salesman 2day who had the nerve to say it wasn’t their fault. What give?
The General Manager left the message that his accountants were wanting him to "turn it over" to Fairfax county in VA. But he didn’t want it to come to that. He knows that the salesman screwed up, yet he makes threats to us? Meanwhile, since they are dragging their feet, we are driving on expired paper tags, and no way to prove its his except insurance. His job also won’t let him drive it on the army base because of no tags.

   I would call up that dealership and tell them straight up "If you want to play games, come get your car back. If you want to man up and sell me a car, set things straight" Talk to the owner of the place, not some commission salesman.

   You might want to mention that you talked to your lawyer and that your lawyer feels you have done nothing wrong. Any judge will see your side and rule against the dealership

   Anytime you buy a car on eBay, it’s always buyer beware. It sux to hear about your situation. Your gonna have to get evil with them. Get your lawyer involved. Try to find one near the dealer so he/she can be there easily. Let this be a learning experience for you & don’t buy a car like that again. Buy locally next time.
