Can some one please tell me how a guy charged with over 100 counts auto theft and sent to jail for it in BC can set up and operate a dealership in Calgary!!!! and on top of that he has a guy managing it who was in jail for armed robbery!!! OMG after dealing with Treadz Auto Group Calgary and getting ripped off bad I decided to look into the owners, this is rediclous!!!!! I found news paper articles in BC where the owner was from and spent his time in jail!! I went to AMVIC and what a joke!!! how can this be allowed????

Oh fuck... those idiots sold me 2 pocket bikes just for fun, on a whim 2 summers ago, and 1 of 'em didn't last a day, and when I went back there they said you're shit outta luck buddy, so as I was leaving I flung a box of kleenex off a desk, and then they all came running out and told me to come back after closing time.. Too petty for me and my boys to have a "rumble" over a couple C notes, plus I wasn't getting thrown back in jail over a pocket bike... better to bide my time... What a bunch of pieces of shit down there and I hope one of 'em reads this... I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN

But you can get a 24% return on Investing with them.....wonder how true this is?
We looked at some stuff last summer in the $10-12k (2nd vehicle) they kept calling us back with stuff in the 20-30 k WTF did they not listen or they have that much room to move on the price. And as most places everything just seem to have been polished up turds.



??????????? has been operating since November of 2004, predominantly with the use of private investor funds. The Investor Club consists of $50,000 investment blocks on 1 year open term with interest only payments made at 24% made payable to the investor in 12 posted cheques over the term of the investment with security guaranteed by the owner, ?????? ????? and ???????? by Promissary Note. The Investor Club works as such:

1 Block = $50,000 (1 Year Term) = 12 monthly payments of $1,000 (24% Interest Only)
3 Blocks = $150,000 (1 Year Term) = 12 monthly payments of $3,000 (24% Interest Only)
5 Blocks = $250,000 (1 Year Term) = 12 monthly payments of $5,000 (24% Interest Only)

At 1 year the initial proceeds can be paid out with the last interest payment on 30 days notice of Intention.

Many investment partners have been involved with ????????????for years enjoying an aggressive return on investment money since business inception. ????? has had an incredible success rate using this unconventional method to floor plan the company inventory with a proven rate of return at 42% in the industry for over four years. Please contact Dealer Principle, ???????? ?????for any further information required or investment block availability.

Oh that doesn't seem crooked AT ALL!

[94boosted]

Wow good to know, thanks OP!

Lets get all of the people that have had bad experiences with them to post, beyond has the power to give these guys so much bad press they will have to shut down

[masoncgy]

hahaha... I remember a few years back looking at an SUV they had on the lot and the salesman actually offered me a beer during business hours... lol...

Right then and there, I knew it was the wrong place to be shopping for a vehicle... if you have to smooth over your potential customers, I mean *cough* victims *cough* with booze to try and close a sale, something isn't right!

Jesus Christ... and I got some flack for posting a link to my company on here... fair enough, but what's right is right and this info doesn't belong here IMO.

[toyboy88]

Well ya, but it seems like a back-door approach to seek out investors...

You're right! He reg'd back in 2008 so he would have rep to plug his company when this thread popped up 18 months later


On a different note; the payment plans on those cars are ridiculous. 84 months of bi-weekly payments for '10, '09 and '08 models; 72 months of bi-weekly payments for '07 and '06.

That $26k BMW on there comes out at close to $31k all said and done.

Fraser I thought you were smarter than that. The last line screams advertising.

Might not be his business, but it's advertising.

Er, that whole thing was obviously just a copy-paste from the website as an example of how shady it is, not advertising.
