Fill in the asterisk. You had better pay attention to your dealings with this bunch of crooks. I can say this because when I received my terms from the bank they were quite different from what I agreed to at the dealership. My $199 payment all of a sudden became $390 on the thirteenth month. This obviously was not disclosed to us, which the salesperson will lie about because it was just a scam. We came to the center looking for an $11 or $12 thousand dollar vehicle to keep our payments around $175.. The salesperson shows us a $25k vehicle and tells us it is within our budget. What I was told from the bank was that my payments were from the beginning $390, but the dealership paid the difference from the $199 for the first 12 months. This was in effect a way to give us what we wanted now only later to find out we had been duped, which I am sure was designed to occur on the 13th month. If the paperwork would have arrived more timely it probably would have been the thirteenth month because the writing was so small we would not have read it and just taken their word for it. How the heck did this happen! Let me tell you. When we came in a salesperson introduced himself to us and we told him we needed an $11 to $12 thousand dollar vehicle because we wanted to keep our payment of around $175 a month. He said no problem and sat us down and took our credit information. I think my credit score was right at 740. The salesman came back after about ten minutes and took us outside to look over a couple of vehicles. The first one he said was about $190 a month and we said again we needed to be at $175. He said the difference between a $175 a month car and a $190 a month car was leather and a sunroof. We thought wow, for $15 dollars a month we can get leather and a sunroof. the salesperson said also they were only making $200 on the deal. We drove the vehicle and agreed it was worth it to go the $190. After we filled out the paperwork and went to the finance office we later discovered our payment went up another $9 to $199, so we thought. Our down payment went from $1200 to $2000 and then they wanted us to pay the sales tax which they then said was not calculated into the original payment, which was not true. We should have left then but the leather and the sunroof still had our attention. We agreed and they ask us to sign some blank contracts because their printer was acting up, which they said happened all the time, and to please come back the next day and and pick up our paperwork completed. We came back the next day and they gave us a buyers order and said the rest of the paperwork would be in the mail. When it did not arrive we called the bank and that is how we discovered the scam. We found out later the total profit to Basil Resale Center was $8674. Let me tell you folks, if John Ba*il is involved you may as well be bent over a chair because you had a target on your behind the minute you walked in. It had to be a standard practice of this place because they were smooth as silk throughout. Please beware of this as it is probably at use at all the Ba*il stores.

I used to work for them and they are pretty awful. They are not nice people at all.
