Yes, the Dodge dealer is STILL in business since I won my small claim court case and of course they didn't pay me my winnings of $1800. I filed a claim against the business and I keep my information updated and keep my claim updated so when they sell or go under, I will be listed as a creditor.
I purchased the Caravan in 1984, the first year they came out. It was a lemon. Not 2 years into owning the car, and looking at the 2nd engine to be replaced in the car (we replaced the first engine) and then the replacement one is the one I apparently took the head off and dropped for the sheer joy of doing such a thing???? It was needing to be replaced. I asked if they would give me mid-range Blue Book value on the van as a trade in for a newer model Caravan (the car was paid for). Not top Blue Book value, but mid-range value.
I thought I was being reasonable. They said no, the car wasn't worth it. It wasn't, but come on, for customer service, a 2 year old car with less than 30k miles on it, and working on what ended up being the 3rd engine, you'd have thought they'd do anything to get rid of me. The car died several years later when the highway patrol pulled me off the road and red tagged the car. The highway patrol officer gave us a ride home in his car. I donated it to the local PBS station.
