Imports of Tidewater

by Robert Pallone on 12/28/2021

My wife and I bought a truck from here in July 2021. When we bought the truck we told the owner we had a trade in as well as a check from the bank. Long story short we traded our crv in as well as handed him a check from our bank for the purchase of the truck. When I asked him would that cover taxes, fees, etc. he told us yes. While doing paperwork he asked if we wanted new tags or wanted our tags transferred from the crv. We opted to transfer tags. Fast forward a month and I get pulled over. The officer tells me my tags are registered to a crv. I immediately called the dealership and was told by the owner “I didn’t transfer the tags because you never paid me the taxes on the vehicle!” I am in law enforcement and needless to say was upset that I was illegally driving my truck. The owner said if I pay him $1,000.00 + for the taxes he could transfer my tags. Again….. this is not what we were told otherwise we would have gotten a check to cover this at purchase. It is now almost January….. still no tags and still no taxes paid because the dealership refuses to cover this after we were told something completely different and the truck is now sitting. And to top it off, my bank still has not received the title to the truck!!!! I have called repeatedly with no return call. Left several messages. Even sent several text messages with no reply. We are currently talking with an attorney to get this matter settled. I highly suggest anyone going here reconsider and go anywhere else!
