This place has a long history of scamming people, mostly people who don't speak English very well.
@vulcan2882 This is A Good reason
For President Donald Trump to not accept anymore illegal immigrants
Because I remember Florida decades
Ago wasn't known for All these scams
Drugs,sex trafficking , murders,and
So forth until illegal immigrants from
Across the foreign countries started
Pouring in and here we're today in
Year 2025 with all of these scams
Yet they like to blame it on Americans
This was never the case because I
Once lived in. Miami before it was
Victimized by car dealership crimes
Miami and Florida lost a lot of intellectual Americans who could not
Endure All of the scams and the run down of areas and properties of Miami and Florida businesses!!!!!!!!
Even buying a new car can lead to scams. Buying a used car from a small dealer is really risky. Even the large dealerships have scams but the small ones tend to sell wrecked cars that are fixed and have more scams.
Yes, you will be hard pressed to find a dealership that will sell you a car without some data collection installed! I had to use a contract lawyer to make sure those objects were not installed on my car.
@@2FeCarbon That has to do with the repossession rate due to cars never paid for.
Totally agree.
@ My car was never financed and that was the problem I had with the car, I would own it outright.
Thanks for covering this story. The people who own and operate the dealership ought to be put in prison for a long time.
People should be held accountable. This is as bad as armed robbery! At least 20yrs in prison!!!
Like tRump ? Multiple felonies and he got elected President. These people should walk until they want to enforce laws equally.
Why are those people still in business???
Best government money can buy!
Cause it's Florida. Law works for business and not it's people. It's getting worse
Did you know they can put it under there wives names and still run that business. Something like this happen in Mooresville NC near where i live. Tons of people here got ripped off big time. There wives moved the car dealership to another town. It's a loop hole they need to close. Nothing being done about it.
BECAUSE THEY PAY TAXES OUT SCAMMING PEOPLE, the SAME WAY YOU STILL HAVE MR. JOE CAROLLO HIMSELF AS A COMMISSIONER, BECAUSE THERE'S NO RESPECT. TO SOCIETY
Me and my wife went there to look at a Infiniti G37 we saw on marketplace, I contacted them and they said it was still available and when we got there we were like I am here to see the G37 they had listed online. They started speaking Spanish to each other and luckily my wife understood what they were saying. They were telling each other to put us in a blue Infiniti Q50. We walked right out because we never saw any G37 on the lot. And we immediately felt like that was a red flag. All they could of said was that it was sold or something.
It costs nothing being honest upfront, that's the column of a successful business
A bygone era given the recent culture of superficiality and insta-fame
As a retired employee (2nd career) of a state Dept. of Labor office this is how this will turn out. The crooks running the scam auto dealership will lose in court by either default or judgement. They then will shut down by declaring bankruptcy declaring no assets to pay and then open the next day under a new corporate name. I had many construction workers come into file for benefits and complain their company didn't pay them. Upon checking we found they declared bankruptcy and the workers (some could get u/i benefits) ere out their paychecks. These crooks know what they are doing.
Sad but true.
Absolutely accurate and happens across the country on a regular and constant basis
This is why I stay buying my cars from the brand dealership
My thoughts exactly 💯
I bought my used 21 Honda minivan from Tampa Honda, a big name dealer, they put in a $3500 fee, a $1800 dealer fee, an I forget another $1300 fee they said couldn’t be negotiated, so rn I’m paying $627 a month for the car. Sometimes idk if my deal was good or not
lol dealerships in Florida steal more than these small ones do lol thats why they have the nickname stealerships you just need to do your research before buying from these small places me i get my cars from auction brokers
@@ShantalhaitianPrincesswrong
lol they are even worse!
The showroom would be a drive through if it was me
PREACH!!!!!
What's to stop someone from driving by and chucking rocks at the current inventory??
So would the owners home, if it was me.
@@jeffreyparks2371don’t incriminate yourself lol
How come these kind of businesses are allowed to keep scamming people, you would think the State would shut them down.
those guys donate & canoodle to politicians..reasons they are still operating
That’s every buy here pay here, I worked at 1 that did the same thing. I left and didn’t look back.
This is Español dealership
almost all of them are a scam.
Deport all them mofos😂😂
Typical Florida
NO this is the result of NonAmerican businesses!!!
Oh yes, Used Car Dealers are known for their honesty and ethics all over the country- except in Florida right? Guessing Desantis himself went down there and did this eh?
@worldwidestuff5567 Most of these
Used small car dealers Mom/Pop
Cites are Non American own!!!!
Stick to the subject Governor DeSantis has nothing to do with scamming
Mom/Pop car dealership chop shops!
You got beef with DeSantis because
He doesn't want illegal immigrants
Overpopulating Florida and continuing
Taking Educational benefits from
American born citizens taxpayers voter's children because it's unfair
To American born children and I
Support him on this stance and it's
The truth Florida has A REAL Serious
Illegal immigration crisis and an Overpopulation of foreigners already
@@worldwidestuff5567 People always hating on the greatest state in the union.
@@dmc3489 The greatest scam state in the union.
I paid cash for a dodge from dealership and they went out to 20 different loan companies to apply for me with out my permission luckily for my me and my dad went down and had our SS and and credit accounts locked up no transactions with out SS contacting us by mail can I sue the dealership I wonder
Who knows
You can.
yes..then apply for a lien on them if they refuse to pay the monetary value of the judgement...you may end up with more new cars for free lol
You may have signed a consent form in all the paperwork. I paid for my last car with a certified bank check, but they still asked for a consent form. Probably worried about a fake or stolen check. But the credit bureau texted me about it while I was with the salesman, you should have seen his face!
That’s why there are attorneys in year here asking viewers go to the people who are qualified
The same exact thing happened to me. They had me signed for a $5,000 suv, which I gave him $2000, then he wouldn’t give me the paperwork, told me this is how it’s supposed to be, I didn’t get paperwork till after 30 days , then I picked it up a and it turned out I had signed for a loan for this car total of $11,678. I called them to pick up the car. They wouldn’t, so I took it to the corrupted dealership. And walked away and lost my $2000. I didn’t know where to start who to call or what to do. I was just upset. I called the bank and I told him what they did and I told them I’m not paying a dime.
I wish you got your 2k back.
They are fraud they got my friend
Wait, wait wait... you are telling me a used car dealer has been scamming people?
Omg no way
Lawyer Stabinski sounds like a boss 💪💯😅
The state investigate several time and found no violations? Very disturbing.
Welcome to South Florida, may as well investigate all these small dealer lots because they all do this, especially on facebook marketplace!!
Shocking to think TH-cam seem to believe it's OK for SCAMMERS to take financial advantage of customers and GET AWAY WITH IT, and not be held accountable 😡
How has DBPR not taken their dealership license????
I know exactly what happened. The dealership advertised the DOWN PAYMENT online not the cost of the car. It's a trick dealers use to get you to come to the store. So when she got there they had her sign a bunch of documents including loan documents she must have signed without even knowing
Yes same thing happened with me. We also approached the cops and attorneys but no one helped us with anything!!
common practice in south Florida
$25,000 bond? What a joke! How much did the politicians get?
If you’re going to surprise somebody with a new car make sure you buy the car with cash not finance.
They did buy it cash!! I guess you didn't fully understand what took place here🤔🤔
The dealer is scamming the customer and the bank, the customer is under the impression that they are paying cash out the door, and then the dealer applies for a loan on the car so they get paid from both ends.
@ken.h007 No she didn’t. She was foolish enough to believe that a 2016 CR-V was only $6k somehow, and didn’t read what she signed AT ALL. Or she did read it, knew what was going on, but regretted it after the fact. Her fault.
After working at a few dealerships in Florida I can say stuff like this happens all the time and that why I don’t sell cars anymore I couldn’t be such a scumbag to folks like that because I believe that you reap is what you sowed
👍🏻
I reached out to this place once after they advertised a competitive price for a vehicle I was interested in. They did not want to speak, text, or email with me about pricing and were very pushy to get me in the door in person. I declined to go meet with them in person because they weren't being straight forward, very glad I did. I believe the prices they are advertising that are slightly below market are actually just the down payments and a way to get people in the door, then they hope people wont understand the paperwork in front of them means they are also taking out a loan on top of that amount.
most car dealerships do this
Investigator got paid!!! They're charging three times!, what the vehicle is worth! Nothing!,
To see here!!!
What??? Look up what a 2016 CR-V is worth you fool. It sure as hell ain’t $6k!
@Johnfisher12345 Comment is completely laughable f00l! Since you obviously work for the dealership. state the mileage!! I guarantee you, it is not low mileage!! If it's even around 80k! it's only worth 12k tops! And 21 % interest!! Is Basically pred@tory lending!! You are dealing with a florida native!, who has dealt with this many times! and I know exactly what it is!! That's why I buy ,all my vehicles from owners..
They force you to sign paperwork
These people are real dirtbags, they prey on people with limited understanding and language barriers. All loans have a truth in lending disclosure that states the amount borrowed, monthly terms and the interest rates and the total of payments, it’s in 4 square boxes and cannot be hidden behind other documents, the dealership gives you copies of all of these documents in the finance office as well. I don’t know what is so hard to prove here. If the finance agreement was signed then the question is forgery or misunderstanding. I think the story should have mentioned this fact. The original bill of sale will show the total amount with Any financing money owed as well.
I will never everrr buy from a small car dealership like this because of this shady stuff exactly .. Idk how those sales people sleep at night
Anyone listed on ownership or BOD needs to be jailed and all assets seized by FL to repay and give the victims 10x what they were charged. This is horrible business practices and just illegal. Forgeries are a major crime that needs to be addressed. Where is the FL DA in all of this?????
All dealerships do this, they run you through the contract, they don't disclose the % unless you ask and then they lie to you. Yeah it's norm for all dealerships
Rick Case Acura did something similar to us, fortunately i went next day and cancelled the contract 🙏🏻
Not very likely 🤦♂️
It’s Rick Case highly unlikely
Why did this dealership jack people so bad! Predatory lending is rape! Need to take a hard look into these people and find out what other kind of stuff they are doing!
Toyota of North Miami used car is doing the same.
❤ Where is the attorney general
The First Lady sent her husband who spoke limited English. The second customer speaks no English at all. This is why you need to assimilate to the culture and learn the language. Shame on the dealership but the customer is just as guilty for failing to learn English.
There are ppl born and raised in America who are the victims of predatory lending schemes
The dealership doesn't speak English either
@@santo8389I was one of them for buying from a dealership owned by foreigners
This is exactly how solar panel companies treat their customers.
A Honda dealership finance manager swapped interest rates on me and tried to push it through. Tried in vain. Never bought another.
a jeep dealership tried the exact same thing couple years ago. I just walked out. I live in south florida so its typical lol
Wait, she actually thought a ‘16 Honda CR-V was only $6k?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This isn’t a scam, these people are just dumb as rocks. Seems these guys are taking advantage of people’s stupidity.
I'd fly down and buy that if deals were that good 😅
These shady car dealerships need to be shut down for good.
All these dealerships should be shut down
5 cases that place will close down soon the heat will be to much
6800 was downpayment price, nobody selling no honda hr-v for 6800...read what you sign
“By apoimentment” was the only thing i needed to see 😂
I have a video where a dealership near me showed me a truck saying there was a forever warranty however the video will show as is no warranty sticker on the back window.
I lost the truck and I owe the money
Classic Switch and Bait
I hope the banks step in and do the right thing. God bless everyone and keep them safe from greedy evil people
Makes sense , it's south florida
I wouldn't buy a car from a dealership in a million years.
In South Florida?! NO WAY 😱😱😱😱😱 truly a first!!!! (LOL)
Get a loan from a credit union go buy the car from a old person doing a private sell. Forget the dealers
The state of Florida has to do something about this. If no one at a dealership speaks in English you know you're getting scammed!!
They are a bunch of robbers these dealers damn
Ommmggg I bought mine's thereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! WTFFF😰
Check your loan docs.
RIP
mine's? That's not a word in the English dictionary.
@@truthserum5310 Which is precisely why these sorts of car lots cater to the intellectually challenged
@truthserum5310 To them👶🏿 it is
I remember a case in this scenario on 79th street and 17ave. Old car dealership sold a lemon and got shot dead for scamming the wrong person.
Florida car dealers. No surprise.
80% of consumers have no idea how to purchase a car.
Go get them Channel 10
Limited English and an inability to read a contract before signing is not to be ignored.
What year was the Honda?
2016
@@markwilliams6378 That year cost alot. Did the buyer think about value?
That place is on 441 and davie boulevard.
Back in 2016/17, there’s a car dealer in the corner of 42 and LeJeune, for a previously owned SXT(basic v6) White Dodge Charger, my brother negotiated for ,Amy hours to buy the car at its sticker of 24K they lowered to 22k with 3500 as down payment. However at the end of the night the salesman shows up with the paperwork ready to close the deal, reviewing the paperwork before signing we noticed the car summed up to a grand total 51k at a $765 monthly clip, after they had agreed the monthly couldn’t surpass $600 and they said the financing bank needed a cut from the loan some BS like that to justify the 50 grand. We just got up and said no thanks, but thanks for wasting our time. They were shocked as hell because they had brought us croqueticas and sodas thinking they had us in the bag. There’s no way something shady wasn’t happening as my brother had new credit and building it with a credit card with almost 4 grand as down. Afterwards me and my brother joked that if he went for a 40k BMW he would’ve had to pay over 100k for it 😂
Dirty rotten apple 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
This happens so often. It takes forever to get justice and the dealerships just keep on going .If there were higher penalties and violation limit it would slow the scamming down.
Same here they increased our honda civic installment from 500 to more than 1100 a month they said market situation interest rate we can change payments rates which they never mentioned and by the way i bought car from honda dealership near miamilakes elly bank and this honda dealership is worst.
We bought our used car from a brand dealer ship “Toyota”. No issues. Reviewed the paper work at home and everything checked out. I never did trust these small mom and pop dealership after I got stung in 2015 when I bought car from a small dealership and the car turned out to be a lemon. Never again!
Fraud or no fraud found, they took advantage of these customers.
That’s why I pay cash for both of my cars paid off I wouldn’t go back down that road of paying a car payment again risky and waste of money
Nissan and Ford are doing the same zero down 50 a month
Sue the bank too
DEALERS LAWYER: OH HE SIGNED? THE END.
That's not how that works. If you were made to sign a contract under false pretenses then it can very easily be voided.
@@WHTMAN-ei7ik LMAO how was kindergarten today?
The first red flag was the dealership’s name; *Kars* with a K.
Karma is going to visit that dealership, just you wait and see.
This is not the era of "I'll just take it from behind since I don't have a choice". No, this is the era of "you haven't seen the last of me".
for real! when you have people strugling to put food in their mouth and these crooks do this to the wrong person, they will know! it will just take one person loosing their battle to go in do massive "karma"!!
The state closed the case against that dealership so nothing is going to happen,but that dealership will change their name and reopen when or if it gets to hot there
Buyer Beware
Yeap, she's not lying on them This happened to me before.
That’s so surprising
Whenever I see a car for sale in south Florida I automatically pass.
Corner dealership careful you don’t end up with a car breaking down 3-6 months later, they really know how to seal them leaks with that break fluid.
SHAME ON THAT DEALERSHIP 😢
Sounds like us auto sales and Westlake financial
I’ve been at this dealership once and they were very combative and unprofessional. I just walked away.
THEY DO THAT! SMH
These cars looks more expensive then what these customers are actually really paying for…
Don’t business in Miami it’s too many shady people there that’s hungry for money.
typical fb marketplace, they give you the down payment price ... also people are very gullible ... you really thought you were buying that car for only 7k ?? ... c'mon ...
thats the scam dealership business model. lure suckers take their 7k down payment, repo the car, rinse repeat.
WE HERE IN ZIMBABWE CALL THEM
“Scams 2 Go” not
“Cars 2 Go”😢
Time to change the name of the business and start scamming again.
ABC Used Cars today , XYZ Pre-Owned Autos tomorrow
😂
the fact that they fall for the scam its so funny. what idiot takes 8k to a small parking lot used car sales called kars2go
@@dmc3489 premium cars
Come on ppl. Sounds too good! Rush your signature smh its 2025, a deal is a few thousand from market price not 50% off smh
20 percent interest!! Worse than a credit card! Dint they see atleast the numbers when signing contract. Your signature has consequences when money is involved and that dealership just got shamed so bye bye profits. Better make right
The love of money is a sin. 😢
It's not the dealerships fault if the client doesn't speak or read English
No active investigation
Lock your credit. Don't give out your social security number. These are basics.
