    I am having a hard time getting my title as well. I am at 6 weeks. Their sales manager Jeremy Williams won't return my calls.

    Yes, that too was one of the MANY problems that I had.

    Jeremy Wiggains, the owner, is equally non responsive and difficult. I suppose it is a corporate mentality there.

    I insisted on voiding my car deal due to misrepresentations about the car and its condition (odometer not working was the final straw so mileage was questionable). I ended up losing about $4000 for shipping and restocking fees, but I am in Miami and a lawsuit in Dallas would have been logistically difficult, so made the decision to cut my losses.

    The whole process with them was a nightmare. I think they may have just finally refunded all of my monies (which was a second huge headache) but I am waiting to hear from my bank. (Fed ex has been received but account will not post for 2 days).

    It would appear that they are out of business... Any word?

    Yes, there was thread here about 2 weeks ago. Gov involved maybe.

    So why is the DEA involved? Enquiring minds would like to know.

    Evrry time someone bought a car from SL it would end up at our shop needing "warranty" work. The cars were not previously taken care of and hands were washed after the sale. You are taking matters into your own hands when not working with a dealer. That "extra" $10k will get you exactly the car you are looking for.

    Why? :)

    We serviced a few cars , I'm not sure why we are included as "creditors" though, they don't have an account with my department, always paid their invoices when they picked up their cars, etc. Maybe Mike can shed some light from his shop.

    What I find more interesting is that the " relationship " between Straightline and Park Place dealerships... THAT will be the " Scary " stuff , if it were to come out

    The insinuation "that will be the Scary stuff , if it were to come out" made it is sound like there was more to it than what was discussed in either thread so far. Maybe not.

    " Scary " might have been the wrong word to use. There's more to come.

    You have PM,
