Send a letter to the State Attorney General with full details. YOu might be pleasantly surprised. Case in point: A less than one year old Compaq computer developed problems. Compaq hemmed and hawed (computer was 8 months old), saying it was out of warranty, asking for a copy of the invoice and other delaying tactics. I have a buddy who is a computer tech. He came over, gave it a thorough going over and discovered that one of the 512 MB memory sticks was bad. COmpaq refused to reimburse. Enter the Attorney General: All of a sudden a call from a Compaq VP. "How much diod the repair cost? We will send you a check for double the amount". We got the check, but I sure as hell will not buy another Compaq..

Recently we had a loca Chevoret dealer who ran a full page ad, showing the price, a monthly payment and the number of payments. When you multiplied the payment by the number of payments, the total was far short of the price. At the bottom of the page in very small print, a disclaimer "does not include residual value". The ad was for a LEASE but did not state such. AG was notified and I now have a letter from the dealer which in effect states: "We did nothing wrong and we will not do it again", and went on to try to blame their ad agency. The AG contacted me, said they were not about to buy that story, and was going to investigate further.

Go for it.
