Re: Pars Cars SALES in morrow GA. 30260

My wife and I purchased a 2000 Honda ODYSSEY for $13, 168.30 from PARS CARS. We made a $2000 down payment and one day after getting the car the transmission failed the car was bought as is and we were told that the car was in great condition by sales man last name Curry. Now they are claiming to service the car and each time that I speak to someone in that department they ask me to pickup the car with the transmission in disrepair. The GM told me that he was not a used car dealer, he is a by here pay here business and that he can sale cars at higher than book value even if the car is bad and the your office has no authority to do anything about in part he has a LIC to steal and deceive costumers. I said to him in our conversation that's why people get so fed up with companies and he asked me are you threatening me. I said to him no I am not your trying to get out of doing the right thing on this account . Please help my family, the loan company and this car dealer ship are just ripping people off. Right now I am so upset that I may need to say things better but I can't right now. The car is still in there service department I do not have the car.

We filed our complaint with the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU: this is the response we got from Tony Bouzari each time. It is obvouis that he has no concern what the consumers has to say or go through after he sells his broken down cars to you... after 2 rebuttals he copied and paste the same message ... take a look...DesiredSettlementID: Refund
Product_Or_Service: Chevy Tahoe
Purchase_Price: 26900.00

Consumer's Desired Resolution:
we also want to warn people so that they will not make the same mistake...I tell people to run from Pars Cars...they are the worst people to do business with. Save yourself some headache run

04/06/2009 WEB BBB CONSUMER REBUTTAL TO BUSINESS RESPONSE: (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
They took the tires and rims off of the Tahoe and put the wrong size tires on the truck. They deceived us when taking the tires off the truck, that could have cost a major accident.
They deceived us about the total bottom line price of the truck. I was told that they approved me for 13, 900.00, I didn't know they doubled that price 1.We want those rims and tires back with better tires 2.and a refund for the repairs that was made in less than 30 days. We paid them 3500.00 for a down payment and still have to make major repairs on this truck in less then 30 days, and was told it will completely be put out of commission if they are not made immediately. We want that money back, because we later founded out that the suv we purchased was under water for about 2 years. We are having to replace all bearings on the front and back wheels of the suv...very expensive..it cost us about 1500.00 just for these repairs on a suv we purchased less than 3 weeks ago. The passenger door will not open from the inside. If they cannot do these 2 things we want them to return our 3500.00 and we will return the truck to them. Very dissatisfied customer. Businesses like this should not be allowed to operate, they run scams on innocent hard working people who need a little help getting back on their feet. How can the State of Georgia allow such scams to go on in Georgia?

Are these people in a scam with pars Cars? I just purchased a car from them, and I want to know if I can take it back; This is my first time purchasing a car, mostly due to the issue that I've always heard that car dealers rip you off. What should I do, because I went through the exact same thing. Is there some one that we can go to in order for us to be treated fairly? Who protects us?

You don't have to be a drug dealer to hurt people these days. Become legal. Lie to people, take their money and leave them screwed. Work for Pars Cars. At least you will have the BBB toi protect you. now send this to Tony Bouzari!

The BBB may not be part of the scam...but they are sure not trying to do anything to make any waves ( in other words correct the situation) I believe our only help would be for the media to get in on this and shed some light about all the scams and rip off deals pars cars inflict on good people trying to make a living. I will join in with anyone who can get media attention...because the more cases we have the better help we will get from the media. You should also report your issues to the Federal Government

They are by far the worst car sales people i have ever came across by. I really wanted honesty and no problems. just 2 weeks after repair man claimed he got this rust spot cleaned and properly sanded down, the spot reappeasr again as if he used spray paint. that is no way to treat a lady.

thanks... just saw a ford excursion on their website that i considered purchasing.i will be sure to pass the word concerning pars cars.

Too bad so sad. I really wanted that Honda Pilot, but I work entirely too hard for my money.

The experiences I have read go just like my experience. From the long all day waiting, (which made me late for a work shift starting a 11pm), taking off the rims, (which they had done to a nice guy who was also there all day), the wanting another thousand dollars above whatever down payment you offer, (which I just didn't have so they made that $1000 into "pick-up payments), to having to call and call to get a part put on the car that was supposed to have been ordered the day after the car was purchased which now has been a month ago and by the way, the battery and one of the headlights have gone out on this 2006 car within this time-not to mention a couple of other things that are not working that should have been standard on the car. (I feel blessed the car is still running not needing major repairs-it's just been a month- I'm hoping and praying.) You might as well forget about ever reaching the salesperson again by phone after buying the vehicle no matter what he or SHE promised you. I read these comments too late to help me, but, I hope this comment can help others to make their decision. I'm not saying don't go if you need a car, but KNOW what to expect.

I purchased a 2000 Yukon Denali from Pars Cars in Marrow, Ga. I was made to put a down payment before I even knew if I was going to be approved for the vehicle. After being approved they brought me out a list of old cars that I didn't ask to see, everything on the list wasn't anywhere near what I told them I was looking for, before I left the lot they told me that if anything went wrong within 30 days that I could bring it back to be serviced at their expense . After I got home from their lot the car started acting up, the air conditioner went out and the door sensor wouldn't go off, it sounded all night and everytime from then on. I called back to the car lot the next day to inform the of the problem and they told me I could bring it back, the guy told me he would called me back to let me know when to bring it in, well He didn't call me back so I called them. The salesperson told me that I would have to pay for the repairs out of my pocket, so I told them I would take it to a GMC dealer closer to me they told me I couldn't do that, that I had to brinhg it in to them because that's how they make their money. Remind you that I just bought this car not even a week ago. Pars Cars is a rip off and now I'm stuck with this car that I have to get fix on my own and out of my pocket. I wouldn't advise anyone to go to Pars Cars at all. BEN TRUITT

I am with the public, I brought a car from these people's... When I tell you that this was the biggest mistake of my life... First when i put my down payment on the car. I told them because of the condition of the car I wanted my money back and they told me that they have already swipe my card and they counld not refund me my money. then the breaks and the belt on the car are really bad.. I told them that they told me to bring it back in a week, when I took it back they told me that it was not their problem, and I need to fix it.. Then when purchase the car they told me that they will fill my tank up, took the car to the gas station and put $5.00 in that car.. If I would have knew what I know now.. I would have ran from that place... I am dropping that piece of ### off right at they lot... PLEASE DO NOT GO TO PARS CARS.. RUN RUN RUN.. It's some-one else out there who can help you..Ms. Carla Walker

I appreciate the stories that you have shared about Pars Cars. I have been looking at a Nissan that they currently have available. However, after reading your experiences I will not be going there. Thank-you for sharing - even though the BBB doesn't seem to care you have done a service to the rest of us who need a good car.

I had previously went to Pars cars [Riverdale location] they were trying to put me in a car I did not want! Thank-GOD I left, went to another scam artist Cars and Credit on Tara Blvd in Jonesboro road, was sold a bad car, rised hell was able to get my down-payment back $2, 000. Finally I purchased a car from McConnells Auto in Jonesboro, 4% interest no matter how bad your credit is. Brought a 2009 Toyota Camry with $2, 000 down. Sales Folks are respectful and honest.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR INSIGHT! I WILL NOT BE GOING TO PARS!

Thank you i had been looking for a cash car for a couple of days and decided to go to pars cars with $7, 500 in hand to purchase on the spot for the kind of car i wanted but thank goodness i stumpled upon this site and trust me i will not even head in that direction. Thank's for the very valuable info, times are too hard right now to waste money by throwing it out the window for some oney hungry jerk that don't give a damn how they sleep at night i have a family to feed and take care of like most of you and can't afford mistakes or mishaps well anyway.Happy Holidays now i will go out in buford or duluth georgia or something to the other folks as much as i hate to say it but as least some people the other people know how to handle business professionally and with dignity.

I am so happy i came across this site. My transmission on my car went bad so i tried car max but unfortunately my credit is not all that. They wanted a $2000.00 which is fine but they also wanted to stick me with a 24.9% interest rate so i decline. I was thinking of going to pars car but you guys just save my life...Does anyone know where you can get a good car without being ripped off even if your credit is not all that ?

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Im in search for a vehicle and I was about to check out pars cars in morrow, but after reading these reviews I will not waist my time. Pars cars if your reading this review listen! Time is to hard to be playing around with people money, You would think that it wouldn't be so hard to do the right thing, but dealing you broke down salesmans just not worth my time or anyone elses. I will make sure to keep the word out on you guys.

I am so happy that I came across this page. I heard the Pars Cars advertisement on the ready and decided to check them out by going to the website. Someway somehow I ended up here when I put Pars Cars in search. This information has been very helpful in making my decision. Thanks!

First thank you for this site but lol you have on your post comment please TEXT spelling...lol someone here need to CHECK spelling. Again Thank You for the site, I was going to ParsCars this Saturday, whew. I agree that times are too hard to rip ppl off. There must be somethin we can do. We should protest the company especially after all that advertisement on the radio & they had an all day show on TV.

Pars Cars is a scam. I went there, spoke to the salesman and once I realized I was about to be ripped off, I left with dust behind me. I went on line to roadloans.com and got approved immediately (30 seconds). The interest was a little high (15%) but I realized that with bad bad credit that happens. I was approved with $18, 000 to go to CarMax. I purchase a 2006 Jaguar and is happy as a lamb and didn't spend all of the money. My payments are good and I can refinance after a year when my credit gets better.

*************** RUN FROM PARS CARS BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE***********************

Pars Cars are the worst! I experienced the same fraud sales tactics as the owner of the 2005 Chevy Tahoe posted on this page. In my case it was a 1998 Mercedes E-class priced at $14, 999 with 154, 000 miles. When I got to the dealership, I asked to test drive the vehicle. They told me that I would have to be approved first before I could test drive the car. So instead, the salesman drove the car while I rode as a passager. The air conditioner didn't work and also the radio. The engine was making a weird noise as well. I told the salesman that I would think about it and left the dealership. Once I got home I researched online the blue book value of this car. Three sources confirmed value between $9, 500-$9, 700 with trade in-value at $6, 575.00 considering the vehicle in good condition. "This car was not in good condition." Plus, the mark-up value Pars Cars priced was $5, 299 over blue book value, putting their sale price at $14, 999. I then called asked to speak to a sales person or the manager questioning them on how determine the price of their vehicles. After being transfered several times, no-one in either both locations could tell me how or what methods they use to price their vehicles. Some of the sales personnel became up-set and uncomfortable and refused to answer the question and just told me "If you don't like the price then don't buy the car." Their attitude is synonymous of a rip-off con artist mentality. I am glad that I didn't do business with Pars Cars.

Yes they are a ripoff. I purchased what I thought was a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. After taking the vehicle to the Nissan dealership for routine maintanance, they had ran the vin# and told me that my car was a GLE, NOT THE SE edition that was on the paperwork, and what was on the back of my car! After doing a carfax report, turns out that my car had been in several accidents, and the trunk was replaced with the trunk of the SE model. When I brought that to their attention, they said they bought the car at an auction, and they had no previous knowledge of the cars' history. Needles to say, I gave the car back because I purchased the car under false pretences. They agreed not to put it on my credit, but I lost my $1500.00 down payment. I wanted out of the car anyway because my family was growing, and I needed a bigger vehicle. It was a win win situation for me!

I had the same problems with pars cars, it took more than 8 hours at the dealership and then after one week, the engine light came on and I took the vehicle to a mechanic and he told me that the oil and water was mixing and that the dealership should have known that before selling the vehhicles. yes, i take responsibility for not getting my mechanic to check it out before purchasing the vehicle. I call and tried to talk with the salesman that sold me the van and he was never available. they told me to bring the van in and they would repair it. i told them that it was not driveable, and they told me that i would have to pay for towing, which i could not afford. I told them to come and pick up the van and keep the down payment, just do not report as a repo. well they went further than just a repo, they are now suing me for payment on a van that was not worth the price the chargeed me. I tried the BBB also with the same result as others on this page. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THESE GUYS FOR ANYTHING, NOT EVEN TO USE THE RESTROOM. THEY ARE DISHONEST AND THE FINANCE COMPANY IS THE SAME. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO NOT THROW YOUR HARD EARN MONEY AWAY. KEEP SEARCHING UNTIL YOU FIND SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO GIVE YOU AT LEAST A 6 MONTH WARRANTY. I WOULD NOT TAKE MY WORST ENEMY TO THESE GUYS.

To everyone who had bad experience purchasing a car from anywhere. BEST
THING TO DO IS BRING A MEHCANIC TO INSPECT THE CAR. (EVEN THOUGH IT CAN
TAKE YOU DRIVING THE CAR A FEW MILES TO TELL THE REAL PROBLEMS, BRINGing A
TRUST WORTHY MEHCANIC WOULD BE AT YOUR BEST INTeREST ...REMEMBER GOING TO
AUTO AUCTIONS ARE EVEN BETTER(CHEAPER).. DON'T settle FOR THAT CAR YOU
DESIREd, THERE'S LOTS OF CARS TO CHOOSE FROM...DON'T GET STUCK WITH A
BUCKET.

I so agree and I wish I had of read these reports before I bought my car. These people are so freaking ridiculously unprofessional and they go back on their word when it comes to calling back for what they promised you in order to sell the car. But for me they don't know who they are dealing with. I am not the average consumer who just takes things lying down.

PARS Cars, from the sale to customer service and payments they must be the bifggest crooks in the business. Contact the Atlanta Automobile Dealers Associattion and log a complaint, hit them where it hurts and help put them out of business. They should have thier license revoked. WE ALL NEED TO JUST VOTE NO and turn in a complaint to the AADA.

Thanks so much for the info. I had the same sort of experience at Drivetime (Marietta location); the car is now dead and I was going to Pars Cars. I work too hard for my money though to have someone playing with it. That's what had me and my kids on the side of the road with a blown something up under the hood. I mean really, perhaps THIS is why government DOES need to take soft control of businesses - perhaps their sorry [censor] would stop taking advantage of people. The American way boy...smh...I tell ya'!

Note to Pars Cars: America's tired of being screwed! You just lost a customer...and I'll be sure to pass the word about you the same as I did for Ugly Duckling turned Drivetime! They thought they got down, too; until I talked to Ray Fidel. Last time I checked - that location was a lil closed...HAHA!

You are most likely buying from a buy here pay here because you have horrible credit. You didn't pay your credit cards, your have collectors calling you, you have one or more repossessions, you might even be on track for bankruptcy... and you feel that it is your "right" to even get financed? Financing is a privilege and NOT a right. If you feel that you are to good for a high interest rate then go to your local bank and seek financing... oh wait, you can't because you ruined your credit, cheated your previous lenders, and ran away from your bills, and can't even get your cell phone paid on time. Pars Cars is already dumb enough to finance half of you let alone give you a nice car. If I had a buy here pay here I would be selling you something cheap so I wouldn't worry about you destroying it. I agree that it is messed up Pars Cars took off the wheels from a vehicle and placed incorrect wheels/tires back on it, but at the same time you need to read all the fine print, watch what they are doing to your purchase, and also PAY YOUR FLIPPING PAYMENT ON TIME. And at the end of the day, I beat you ALL THE MONEY in the world that this entire story above was completely fabricated from nothing and the customer is just upset because they got their vehicle repo'ed.

It's simple: Pay your payments and bills on time = Good interest rates, more money approved for, and a NEW CAR rather than a used car from a BUY HERE PAY HERE. THINK ABOUT IT!

Also, YOU MUST HAVE FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE ALL THE TIME! GEORGIA STATE LAW STATES YOU MUST HAVE INSURANCE, pay your bill and quit letting your insurance lapse.

90% of the time it is the buyers fault, do your own homework for God's sake, why let someone else decide your fate? You have the VIN right there in front of you, go spend the $1 on checking it out on CarFax.

Sad, real sad.

I understand what you are saying. I bought a card from Drivetime and now it is sitting in fron t of my house with a blown engine or whatever because it will not start. One year after i bought the car i had to put in a new transmission, a water pump and thermostat, a gas pump, and an oil pump. I have only had this car a 2003 chevy malibu since 2008 and i have spent too much money trying to fix it. Now the engine is gone and i am not fixing it. I will never go back to Drivetime and i am definitely not going to PARS cars. I was thinking about it but know reading all these complaints about them i think i will try another place.

Thank GOD I read these complaint's, was just gonna contact Par's Cars, for a car after radio advertisements I've heard repeatedly, BUT NOT NOW. where there is smoke, it's usually a fire ! NO, NO, NO

hi if you know any one going to buy a car par cars is not the one mcconnell auto sell is the one know matter how bad your credit is you can ride in any car out their at a 4% RATE he have newer cars than par cars and you dont have to wait all day all you need is pay sub insurance and downpayment i have purchase 3 cars from him they are the best the lot is on mainstreet in jonesbor the number is [protected] they are the best tell jimmy that the shaffer sent you thanks and good luck

wow this is crazy. i just went to pars cars on mount zion this week to shop around for a car. also because theyre running special that they match up to 2000.00 of your downpayment. the cars were nice. i thought they seemed to have a lot of miles for the price. i dealt with the salesman Desmond and i told him i was gonna shop around. he seemed to be knowledgeable but what i didnt like is that the most of them seemed to be unprofessional, the asian saleswoman and the lightskinned guy with the ponytail (maybe african american or spanish, especially made me feel very uncomfortable with there actions. i still proceeded to go on my tour with desmond but based off of there actions AND DEFINITELY this website, I WILL NOT PURCHASE a vehicle from PARS CARS. The only plus I can give them is there advertisement is good. Thanks everyone.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE RADIO SPONSOR, DO NOT BELIEVE THE COMMERCIALS...THESE PEOPLE ARE HORRIBLE AND THE FINANCING GUY TOLD ME AND I QUOTE "WE DO NOT SELL CARS, WE SELL CREDIT" ! SO PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM PARS CARS & GO TO CARMAX AND SAVE TIME AND MONEY.

THINKABOUITPEOPLE IT SOUNDS AS IF YOU WORK FOR PARS CARS WITH YOUR IGNORANT, SELF CENTERED, SELF RIGHTEOUS COMMENTS.

I'm so glad that I read all the reviews on this site as well as others..I've had so many salespersons and so-called owners and managers call me trying to rope me into that place. I started out with a simple question: How much is the cost for [the] car? No one would answer...glossed right over it...I put this quesiton to all the people that called from there and I never received a satisfactory answer. I know times are hard but they are not that hard. I actually went in there one time to Morrow and they kept upping the ante for a higher downpayment. I purposely would never bring money to any dealer unless I was satisfied w/ service and vehicle. Don't impulse buy. They are trying to strong arm a higher downpayment. I told him I had 2500 but not on me. The hounds were afoot then. Oh my. ..They are still calling me..I think I will change my phone number.

Thank you all for these post(s). I was going to go to pars cars this weekend because they are advertising 9.9% apr. I will not be wasting my money at any of their locations. I need a reliable vehicle and it seems like pars cars is not where i should look for one. Thanks all.

I just bought a car from here.And I wish I hadn't.They have no customer service skills, there isn't even on a door on their offices, so you can barely pay attention from all the noise around you, then my Salesman Desmond countinuously talked to my cousin instead of me because he was a man, but I'm the one buying the car. I test drove the car I picked out Wednesday night, it drove great, but after I tried the a/c there was some noise a/c compressor. They said they would fix it and I could pick it up the next day. I called 3 times before I could get a response from anyone about pick up time and when I did they told me to come at 4PM. I get there at 4PM and the car isn't done! so they tell me to come back Friday and they were also gonna detail the car. I pick the car up on Friday and they try to give me the car and it was literally on E and it wasn't even detailed. I found french fries under the seat! Please don't go to them! They are horrible! You would rather use Marta then deal with these jerks! Wish I read the reviews before I went to them!

I am so glad I came upon this site. I can not tell you how many times I have been taken advantage of by car dealerships. I am on the hunt for a car now and I am taking my time and investigating every business I consider purchasing a car from. I heard the advertisement for Pars Cars on the radio yesterday. And, was considering checking them out. I am not going to waste my time after reading these reviews. This saved me a lot of time and headache. Someone really need to do something about this business. There are so many laws governed to protect businesses but there's none protecting the consumer. Something really needs to be done about that. These types of situations can really cause people to lose it. This is why people are shooting and blowing things up in the U.S.A. They are so many injustices and no one willing to stand up and do the right thing. They way the economy is a lot of people in America are living hand-to-mouth. This is a disgrace and someone needs to shut Pars Cars down. Pars Cars please read these reviews and change your ways before its too late
