RE: Bill Heard Chevrolet, Columbus, GA - poor Blazer purchase experience

IN 1995 I PURCHASED A NEW CAMARO FROM ANOTHER DEALER AND PAID 23000.00 CASH FOR THE CAR. THREE MONTHS LATER, I WENT TO BILL HEARD, COLUMBUS GA. I WANTED TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO ON A NEW BLAZER, I TOOK THE BLAZER HOME OVER NIGHT, AND TO LET MY FINANCE TO LOOK AT THE PAPERWORK, WHEN I REALIZED THEY WERE ONLY GIVING ME 7400.00 FOR THE BRAND NEW CAMARO I HAD JUST PAID 23000 CASH FOR,I IMMEDIATLY TOOK THE BLAZER BACK THE NEXT MORNING TO GET MY CAMARO BACK.

THE SALESMAN TOLD ME I COULDNT HAVE MY CAR BACK BECAUSE THEY ALLREADY SOLD IT, I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL 9:00PM AND RETURNED AT 10:00AM THE NEXT MORNING, NOW THAT I COULDNT GET MY CAR BACK THAT THEY SOLD DURING THE NIGHT WHILE THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED (I WAS THERE UNTIL THEY CLOSED AND BACK THERE AS SOON AS THEY OPENED) I WAS STUCK WITH A 38,000 CAR NOTE THAT I DIDNT WANT AND WAS FORCED TO HAVE.I WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN 12 HOURS,NOT THE THREE DAYS REQUIRED BY LAW THAT I HAVE TO CHANGE MY MIND.

I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN, I HATE IT FOR YOU BUT YOUR CAR IS GONE. LIKE AN IDIOT I WENT BACK TO BILL HEARD, COLUMBUS GA, TO SEE SIX CARS THEY HAD ADVERTISED IN THE PAPER, WHEN I GOT THERE I WAS TOLD BY THE SALESMAN, GEORGE FYLER THAT ALL SIX CARS WERE GONE AND TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHERE IM SURE HELL GET HIS 200.00 BIRDDAG FEE, AND CALLED A MAN THERE AND HAD ME TALK TO HIM ON THE PHONE AT HIS DESK.

THIS MORNING A NEW AD CAME OUT, 04/16/03, THE SAME SIX CARS WERE IN THE NEW AD. BY THE WAY I SAW TWO OF THE VEHICLES THERE THAT WERE IN THE AD WITH A MUCH HIGHER PRICE ON THEM, AND WAS TOLD BY THE GEORGE THAT THOSE WERENT THE CARS IN THE AD AS HE PROCEDED TO SHOW ME A CAR THAT THEY TOOK IN ON TRADE, THAT STILL HAD FOOD BAGS AND GARBAGE IN IT, IT WAS DISGUSTING.

THE NEW AD CAME OUT TODAY AND I WAS THERE YESTERDAY AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ALL SOLD
