BUYER BEWARE: Consumer's Original Complaint :
I PAID A $500.00 DEPOSIT ON A 2002 FORD TAURUS, TOOK DELIVERY OF CAR SAME DAY. THE CAR RAN HOT WITHIN 20 MINS, RADIATOR RAN HOT & CAR STOPPED RUNNING. WHEN I CALED TO REPORT THE PRBLEM I WAS TOLD TO LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE CAR, BUT THAT I WOULD NEED TO FIND A WAY TO GET HOME BECAUSE THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY WAS NOT INSURED TO ACCOMODATE PASSENGERS. ONCE THE CAR WAS RETURNED BACK TO THE LOT I WAS ADVISED THE CAR IS AWAITING REPAIR, THAT THE PART NEEDED HAD TO BE ORDERED (A RADIATOR HOSE?) WITHOUT ANY TURN AROUND TIME ON REPAIR. BIG DADDY'S ADVISED ME THAT THE $500.00 DEP WAS NON-REFUNDABLE WHEN I ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK. PERSONNEL KEPT GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND WHEN I CALLED TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE CAR, GETTING A REFUND OR DIFFERENT CAR. I'M LEFT WITH NO CAR, AND WITHOUT MY $500.00 CASH DEPOSIT. NEXT DAY I FIND THE SAME CAR I PURCHASED BACK ON THE LOT WITH A 4SALE SIGN ON IT. THEN I GET A CERTIFIED LETTER IN THE MAIL DEMANDING PAYMENT IN FULL APPROXIMATELY A LITTLE UNDER $7000.00 DUE WITHIN TWO DAYS WHICH WAS NEVER A PART OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT. I HAD THIS CAR IN MY POSSESSION FOR LESS THAT 1 HOUR. I CALLED REPEATLY TO AND WAS IGNORED. I FILED A DEEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB OF DALLAS, THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, THE DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION, AND THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. I MAY NEVER SEE MY MONEY, BUT I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT BIG DADDY'S AND THE UNETIHICAL SALES PRACTICES THEY USE TO CHEAT CONSUMERS OUT OF THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY.
