Liberty Toyota Scion

My dad purchased a 2006 Nissan Altima from Liberty Toyota dealership on December 30, 2009. To add insult to injury, there is no warranty on this car, or I should say there will be no warranty after 36,000 miles.

My father is 87 years of age and on a fixed income. His credit is over extended, but he was able to secure a car loan. I not only need to bring this situation to someone's attention, but these types of practices need to be stopped. His payments are $413 a month, which he cannot afford. The purchase price of the car was $14,100 with mileage of 26,504. After tax and fees, the cost of the car was 15,860.30. It has an annual percentage rate of 23.13% and finance charges of $13,869. After all is said and done to add the total cost of the car after 72 months will be $30,000. He traded his 2002 Maximum.

I am my dad's Power of Attorney. It was suggested that I speak with the General Manager at Liberty Toyota. My father and I were in the dealership on Saturday, February 27. I spoke with the Salesman, Anthony **. I shared my concerns with Tony and asked to speak to the General Manager. At first he told me no. I then asked again and wanted to know why. His response to me was, "let's not get this wrong, you can speak with him, but he is going to tell you the same thing." I was introduced to a Jean **(?). He said there was nothing that could be done because Toyota had already been paid. My options were:

3. Stop paying for the car and let it go back as a repossession.

Hope to hear from you soon.

While working on a deal to buy a new car. I was told that I couldn't transfer my own registration. The salesman told me that his boss told them the dealership had to do it. According to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle website, this is false.

I had also told the dealer my deal was for the price plus tax and that is all. They added a documentation fee of $299 plus extra fees for the registration and tires. The person said the documentation fee is standard, just because it was printed on the form. It even said on the back of the form it was an added charge by the dealership. They had presented 2 different forms, one for the dealership with the documentation fee printed on it and another for Toyota with the fee written on the form.

I either had to walk out the door with my old car or sign the papers and pay an additional $400 in fees. Only because my wife was there did I sign the forms and pay the additional charges.
