Complaint Review: Pinellas Auto Brokers

SCAM SCAM SCAM!! This car lot is a scam. They said they wanted a low down payment of $299 as advertised on the window of the car, but when I wanted to get the car they wanted $600 down. I got the car and put down $500 and they deferred the other $100 till the following Fri. When that Fri came they wanted there money and I reminded the guy in charge Brian that I only get paid every 2 weeks and that the car had a bad ball joint and bad breaks. He assured me that I could bring the car in for repairs and that I could pay the $100 on my payday b/c I get paid every two weeks. Well 3 days before my payday i go to leave work and the car was repoed. They kept hanging up on me when I tried to call and Brian the guy in charge would never even speak to me on the phone. They told me to bring in the key and get my stuff back or pay $575 to get the car pack. I only had the car a week and 1/2. I not only lost $500 that I put down on the car but they also stole $4.00 in change, my sun glasses, 2 beach towels and a bag of tools that I had in the car. They only gave me some of the items that were in there such as personal papers. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM PLEASE DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE!! Feel free to contact me for more information.
