Wisonsin.
I was sold a car for $8000 more than the blue book value and after having the car repossessed I may still be forced into bankruptcy. The dealership is unable to find any information for the car(mainly the window sticker with the price because I don't think that the car was the price they sold it for. Is there a way I can get the dealership because I think I was hustled or is bankruptcy my only option?? Also the car was placed into my name on delivery despite the fact that I was only suppossed to be a cosigner. No bank would refinance the car because they said I was overcharged. The car is a 97 Saturn LSI sold at over $16000.

My response:

The dealership is not at fault. They're in the business of selling cars at whatever "the traffic will bear".

It's up to you, as a good consumer, to know whether or not someone is "taking you for a ride". If you didn't do any comparison shopping, or didn't look up the value in the BlueBook BEFORE you signed on the dotted line, then whose fault is that ?

You signed a contract. Plain and simple. End of story.
