I accepted the terms of Bob [redacted] keeping my $300 and giving me $300 back. The car was a lemon and needed well over $1,500 worth of repairs to fix it - immediate repairs. I wanted out of the contract because I did not want to pay him another thousand for the sale of the Buick Rendezvous and then have it sit in my driveway until I could come up with all this money for repairs. It's a pile of junk. No wonder when I said I only had $1,500 saved and he wanted $1,995 for it he said, "Well that's almost the sale price." And I was thinking no, that's $500 less than what he wanted. Anyway the morning before I was coming out to make my final decision he called me and told me he would sell it to me for $1,600 all tax and fees included. I should have realized then that something was up. He told me a couple of times that day that he would be taking a loss on that vehicle.
I would take a loss on that Buick Rendezvous too if I was him just to sell it quick and get it off the lot before anyone realized how bad a shape it was in.
I asked him if he would take the $200 from the $600 I had gave him, keep it, and give me my $400 back. He said he would think about it. That was a Saturday. I called him back on Monday and he said he would take $300 that's 20% of the price of the car.
The money was suppose to only hold the car - not to be used as a deposit on the car. But he wrote up the contract that day. I knew I was totally screwed because I had signed that contract.
I am glad to be out of the deal. I did get a receipt saying the sale of the Buick Rendezvous is NULL and VOID.
I won't be returning to him as a dealer because of how horrible of shape that one vehicle was in and another one I test drove had major steering problems. You at least would think you would get a car that works when you buy one. His lot should say FIXER UPPERS FOR SALE.
If he tries anything sneaky in the future with the contract he said he would shred - which he didn't. I will be reopening this case. Hopefully he is happy with his $300 dollars and will forever leave me alone.
Now he's on the list with one other dealer in town that none of us who buy used cars will ever go to. Can't trust neither of them to sell you something that won't be a piece of junk.
Thank you Revdex.com for listening to my complaint and getting a response out of Bob [redacted]. I ended up resolving the situation myself as best I knew how.

North American Fencing was at Mr. [redacted]s home on April 30th to measure and give him a price to install a chain link fence, at this time he was told the backlog was about four weeks and we do the projects in the order we receive the down payments.  We received his down payment on June 3, 2015,...

one month later than when we were at his home.  During this month the backlog has grown to six or seven weeks.  Due to the amount of rain we had in June and July it has been difficult to keep up with this schedule. We called Mr [redacted] today at 9:30 A.M. to schedule his project, no answer, had to leave a message on his phone.  We are trying to schedule for this Friday, July 31st. We are very sorry for the delay, but we do not control the weather, we are doing our best, our installer are working fifty hour plus to get all the work done as quick as we can.

The refund was mailed the day the customer requested the refund which was 6-16-15.  The check was cashed by [redacted] on 6-22-15.
