Funny how as-is laws are always met with “you don’t have to buy it” for the suffering customers, but the defense from that auto sales industry is “we have to buy it”. You don’t have to buy that clapped out altima, my friends. If you don’t buy it, you can’t re-sell it. If you do buy it, you still don’t have to sell it…

Ranko Veslinovic, I would suggest that you eat my entire ass.

Eh, perhaps. But, who knows, this person may be insured to the point where that would be a favorable outcome.

But FREEDUMB!!!!

Do you think good old Ranko will let you take it off of the lot for a PPI?

As Is sales needs to be banned, at least for commercial dealers. It is one thing for ordinary folks to be selling something as is, we’re not trying to make a profit or run a business, and can’t be expected to be spending time doing in depth inspections, but a dealer who sells every day? They are either selling…

This is why consumer protection laws exist, and why shitty red states often pass laws that strip away consumer protections. Ugh.

Not that able-bodied people don’t also deserve to not be ripped off, it’s especially scummy to do this to people that need these vehicles.  Worst of the worst.

This place seems to make a good chuck of change ripping off people in need. 

Gosh, wouldn’t it be a shame, a real shame, if something like a fire were to happen to 1st Quality Auto Mall (located at 471 West Avenue, Tallmadge, Ohio)?

It means they stole his car, but because it involves money being made by a business which in our fantastic hellscape of end-stage capitalism trumps most laws, it’s not going to be prosecuted as such.

If you roll those fees in to the lease, you pay $59.

Regardless, if you have a contract and don’t miss a payment, they have no right to take it. Only way that would be possible is if the contract stated they could repo the car for any reason and were not required to pay back the payments made, which would not legally hold up.

Most likely a BHPH lot that doesn’t release the title to you until you pay off the absolutely absurd amount ($6k for an 18 year old Taurus is larceny!).

the article does not seem to say - but I think the loan was direct with the dealership and not with a bank.

How is this not theft? If I did this to a neighbor and their lawnmower I would be in prison within 3 days.

Let Corben Dallas demonstrate the correct attitude when dealing with la migra:

Yeah, that 100mi from the border covers something crazy like 2/3 of the national population.

The amount of discretionary police power given to CBP in that rather arbitrary 100 miles from the border limit is frightening. I live close to the border in Washington, and things here tend to be pretty mellow compared to other places, but the presence is always felt, and I’m told that folks in the Latino community…

This is also true, but I think the two are unrelated
