Jan 30, 2006 -- Car dealerships ripping off soldiers

Most people have a great deal of gratitude for our soldiers, regardless of how they feel about the war. But apparently some people think it is okay to take advantage of our servicemen and women. A story in the LA Times details a travesty going on when soldiers return home and need to buy a car. They come back from war with a lot of combat pay and take that money to a dealership. Some dealerships charge them interest rates of 20 percent or more and charge two or three times the fair market value of the car. Granted, this has been happening to regular citizens for years, but no one is getting hit harder than soldiers these days. They are young and sometimes don’t know that they should read the contract, so salespeople take advantage of them. Clark thinks this is disgusting and he wants you to warn service people you know.
