I purchased a car from 03 Hyundai Accent from Hop in January of 2010. I had a few problems with the car like I had a tire blow within 100 miles of my purchase. I let it go because sometimes it just happens. I was also getting horrible gas mileage. I did my math and it was an average of 14 mpg! I dumped $500 into it at that point. Distributor cap & rotor, plug wires, NGK spark plugs, Wix fuel filter, Castrol GTX 10w-30 Oil, Wix oil filter, Hyundai OEM Oxygen Sensors, Front engine mount, New flex pipe, Walboro fuel pump and a K&N air filter. I did all the work myself one weekend. It ran really really good. My mpg was in the low 30s. I was very happy. The car came with Kumho ecta tires which on the passenger side were almost bald when I bought the car. I spent $400 for Bridgestone Potenza tires. Again I was very happy. The car was finally in the condition it should have been when I bought it. From January to May I made every Bi weekly payment of $133 not being late once. The car was priced at $6500. I knew it was a steep price but all the other cars were in worse shape than the one I picked. But I desperatly needed a car. The interest rate I got was around 20% also. May 22nd 2010 @ 4:30Pm my girlfriend and I were going to the lake to fish when a guy in a pontiac G6 lost control of his viehicle and struck my car head on. Leaving my car almost on it's side in the ditch with the front end smashed all the way to what once was the windsheild. My girlfriend was able to get out of the car but I wasn't. I put weight on my right leg trying to get out and as soon as I did the bottom half of my leg immediately gave out and I seen my bone was exposed about 3 inches out of my shin. Luckly a off duty doctor was behind me and held my leg for me. I was trapped in the car for almost an hour and a half. I was on morphine & an IV long before I was cut out of the car. I was near going into shock & bleeding to death. When I arrived at the hospital I had an emergency blood transfusion. As soon as I was stable enough to go into surgury I did so. I received a 13" metal rod and 4 screws in my Tibia. I was released 3 days later from the hospital. I was at risk for a non-union (my bone to die and never grow back) and blood clots. I was given Lovenox shot 4 times a day for two weeks afterward. For pain I was on Oxycontin & Hydrocodone. So I was in pretty bad shape. My fibia is permanately broken. There wasn't enough pieces left to fix it. When friday rolled around I wasn't able to make my car payment because... Well ***, I didn't even know who or where I was. But the next morning at 8:00 UAC (Car Hop) Called me. Asking why I hadn't made my payment. I gave them my reason. They said "You have no excuse." "You made an obligation to pay us." "If you don't pay us we will repo it." I remember telling them to repo it. And where it was. Ha Ha Ha!!! So they called everyone of my 15 contacts I gave them at the time of my application. I mean EVERY ONE. They called me every day from 4-6 times a day for 3 months. As well as my relatives. Then a man by the name Rick from UAC (Car Hop) called me and left me a voice message referring to the car as "The car I wrecked" He opened a can of instant PISSED! At that point I was *** on 4 wheels! Destroying everything in sight. I have forgave the man who killed my mother with an overdose when I was 5". And my step mom for beating me as a child/. But I can't find it in my heart to forgive that man!. They even called Progressive insurance for the money and harrased the insurance adjuster making it less desireable for her to deal with my personal injury case with my attourney Aaron Sachs,. The insurance company gave them $2700 for the value of the car.. I'm still left owing about $2000". But I will die and burn in *** before they get that money'. They are by far the worst company ever!. At all costs try to deal with a different company. 129e621

| 1. Written by Lo down Rick on September 30, 2011 from st. paul, minnesota, US That sounds like Car hop alright. A man on the news here today wrecked a car from that Car Hop place. The police said the car wasn't "road worthy". And the man said he bought the car 3 days ago. They didn't say where from but it had the car hop tags on it. That's how I found this site. You type in car hop wreck and this site pops up! lol That's bad for business. I used to know someone that had problems with them honoring the warantee. They were reputable so id believed them. Id find a diffrent car lot! Hey Holly Balls, talking about not keeping your end of the deal on a contract what about how they don't keep their word on the contract eather? That was the only half assed good point you made. But not now! |
| 2. Written by Get-a-life on September 30, 2011 from st. paul, minnesota, US @Hollyballs Well first off your posting on something almost a year old. If you want to bash on someone for bashing CarHop or whatever find something mabie a bit newer. And I think mabie you have a problem or something wrong with your head being as you go on and on about how much of a twisted wierdo you are and nothing important to anyone. I think you have contributed absolutely nothing but trying to show us how big your internet "holy balls" are. And if your gonna bash someone I'm going to bash you. We don't care about broke bones OR your $20k POS. Just how one company sucks or dosent suck. However I have heard a lot of bad things about CarHop. It seems that they have a way about them that really gets to people. But all there employees can't be bad and niether can their cars. Mabie choose a bettter car, and or have it checked out before you buy. And in my area there are a lot of buy here pay here lots so id guess just about anywhere you are you should have a wide selection of dealers and cars. The only bad thing I'm sure of with this company is they buy from local auctions (I've been at an auto auction and witnessed it myself) and buy up wrecked cars, then sell them sometimes WITHOUT salvage titles. I'm in a similar business as them and have no idea how they pull it off. And another thing is they leave cars sit behind their building for months sometimes with the windows knocked out or whatever the case may be. That being said I doubt id buy from them but if there was no other option id be careful and realize I'm taking a risk no matter what when buying a car. As for progressive insurance co... who cares? All insurance companies are out to get your money. If you have gap insurance and drive a $20k car then you shouldnt care about carhop or your insurance co's reputation. But idk... people shouldnt expect that much from what sounds to be a sicko with anger issues. Hope this helps let Mr. Big internet ballz realize what an *** child molester they sound like and mabie help steer someone in the right direction when buying a car with credit issues. If someone sounds like Mr Macho big wiener, the cho-mo before me, I wouldn't take their advice. And guy/gal, I bet your gonna be mad when you read this but that's ok. I've got more to do than mess with you about something you missed the point of in the first place. So come up with another weird perverted way to say nothing, but no ones listening. And Im definately not gonna care what you say back. Good luck buying a car people, but good or bad it was up to you to buy a good one. Mabie do some reaserch before buying a car and learn what to listen and look for. Its better than nothing. |

| 4. Written by Holly Balls on September 28, 2011 from fayetteville, arkansas, US Are you serious? I mean you can't be that dense to honestly believe that if you wreck a car you are in a contract with, you shouldn't have to continue to pay on it. Obviously you didn't have the right insurance for the car, I have progressive and regardless if my car is worth 20k, and I owe 23k it will cost my $250 deductible. No one cares that your dad made your mom OD and your step-mom who is really a name for "your dads new boyfriend" played analblast with you in the back seat while your girlfriend was watching and eating the fish your cat caught while you wrecked your car while DUI. Bottom line is, you signed a contract, failed to keep it, now your on here making derogatory comments, because a company who is in it to obviously make money, doesn't care that you please men for a living and are no longer making money to pay the car due to aids. |
| 5. Written by i hear ya on September 7, 2011 from state center, iowa, US I recently bought a suv from these people. Within two weeks, my abs systeme went out and i called these clowns to tell them i have no brakes at all. they told me it was not covered. So i spent 400 dollars to have the brakes fixed. about a week after that, a tire blew out and i replaced it with the spare. the spare was not for my suv. to make a long story short, the wheel came off and the entire truck rested on the brake drum. we are very lucky that noone was seriously injured!! i called them again, and told them what had happened and they again said it was not covered under warranty. really? i took the truck to a professional and they had to install new tires, new wheel studs and wheel lug nuts, they also found the proper spare tire! i highly suggest looking over the entire vehicle before buying anything! take it to a mechanic as well! I think in the three months that i have owned this suv i have had to fix something on it every week. they are a bad company and need mechanics to look over thier stuff before they sell it to the general public. |
