West Valley Auto Plaza, WE JERK YOU AROUND

Wes and I bought from West Valley Auto Plaza about 8 months ago. We decided that it is time we started telling our story since we're still paying for it! It's taken us several months to come to grips with what happened and actually be willing to talk about it because of how angry it makes us thinking about it.

We went into West Valley Auto Plaza knowing we didn't have a lot of money, the highest credit, and so probably couldn't get the cheapest interest rate. We were clueless, and Wes needed a car, so we went there to not be "jerked around". First of all, we kept asking for what cars were available and felt they weren't allowing us to just look and see. They tried for a couple hours to convince us to buy a piece of crap Chevy Cobalt. It wasn't going to happen. Granted, we should have been smarter, but these guys made us feel so comfortable and that they were going to hook us up. In the end after 5 hours of nonsense, we were tired, and had found what we thought would be a cheap car (an '07 Mazda 3). It was a higher monthly payment, but we figured it was higher solely due to the credit bit, so we just swallowed and moved forward. In the end, we ended up paying $5,000 more than the car was worth! He didn't go through the contract the way EVERY other dealership had, that either of us had bought from. He did however forget to mention that the loan was over 72 months. We assumed it would be a shorter loan with a higher monthly payment. Nope, those jerks blatantly ripped us off.

Now, if this isn't being "jerked around", I don't what it is. All I know is that Nick Markosian and his little West Valley Auto Plaza family are the most dishonest people I have ever came across in my life and I hope they end up getting "jerked around" in the end.
