I was looking at this car, and was pretty set on buying it. I called Dan Deery last night at about 8:45. The guy I talked to said all the information I gave him on the car was right, but he had to check to see if it was still on the lot. He got my information and said he would call me back tomorrow. Well, I called them today, talked to another guy and he had to check if it was still there as well. He came back and said it was there, but the price was listed wrong. They want $7995 for it now. So I went online, and pulled this off the Attorney General Website.
"Iowa Consumer Fraud Act Code of Iowa (Iowa Section 714.16) Prohibits unfair and deceptive trade practices in the sale, lease, or advertisement of a product or service, and in the solicitation of charitable contributions. Authorizes the Attorney General to issue subpoenas, hold hearings, adopt administrative rules, and file lawsuits to obtain temporary and permanent injunctive relief, consumer reimbursement, costs and attorney fees, and civil penalties up to $40,000 per violation."
So I contacted an investigator and he is supposed to call me back today. Does anyone here think I have a case here where I can get the car for the $3000? If not, what is your opinion?
