Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Tuesday 15th September 2015.
I am a first time buyer when it comes to purchasing a car loan. I did n't have that much knowledge but I was interested in a 2008 Chevy Malibu. I purchased the car through AUTONATION of XXXX XXXX and began paying my carnote. I started doin my research and started realizing I was in a upside down loan. Once I told family members where I purchased my car and the price I was paying, their reaction made me do my research to find out what I had gotten my-self into. It had high miles, also my APR was 27 %, with the car depreciating throughout the time I have had the car I am paying {$13000.00} dollars on a car that 's only worth {$3000.00} dollars so that means I am upside down by XXXX or XXXX XXXX. In due time I called my finance bank XXXX AMERICAN CREDIT ACCEPTANCE XXXX and told them that I do n't like the idea of starting out in a upside car loan and I requested that the car can be picked up for voluntary repossession and I did stop making payments on the vehicle. Finance bank asked if I would like to settle and I replied yes because that would be a better option then having a voluntary repo on my credit so I told them that I went to XXXX and had the value looked at, I told them the car is only worth {$3000.00} and they stated that it 's not and they only can approve it for {$6000.00} to settle. So I am forced to turn the car in because I do n't have that kind of money laying around and I definitely wasnt meeting the requirements of selling the car to a private party. It was brought with fair cosmetic damage, over XXXX miles, and other little mechanic issues, after sometime I would see puddles of water inside trunk, signal indicators was defected and etc. The most I can sell the car for is {$4500.00} even though that is a fairy-tale price I stated that to the finance company they did n't want to help, and the manager was being nasty telling me it 's either I pay the {$6000.00} dollars or I surrender the vehicle it put me in a bad position. I was swindled into this car deal as a first time buyer. I feel like I was overcharged for a vehicle that will not be worth anything before the year is out. So I am forced to turn the vehicle in because I am out of options.
