Pam responded

That would be amazing, because I saved $2,000 in tips over years to make a down payment and better my life and now I have a 5 year payment on a vehicle that is not able to be driven on the 30th day. Jeramy and Ryan says that’s on me . Now I have to get a dead vehicle back from shop that Lithia had zero intentions of helping with and made me wait two months to learn they would not after being told something could be worked out.

Pam responded

I was told I could not get my $2,000 deposit back I had to pick from their lot another vehicle that worked for my credit approval after I could no longer get Jeep I put it down on. Yet Ryan says no one twisted my arm . They stated it was only vehicle I had to choose from and qualified for.
