Title: Sneaky tricks on the car lot..., Sitterle v. Hirata
Post by: Rumple Stiltskin on October 14, 2006, 10:56:09 am
The following is a headline on an Internet web page:

Sneaky Tricks On The Car Lot
Salesman try to hide problems.  Push Warranties.  Can you spot the scams?

So why doesn't the  retail auto industry, or a car dealer, sue somebody because of this public perception which impugns the entire industry?  Is this perception a product of sheer fabrication or based on reality?  Is this any different than Sitterle Homes' suing Colonel Hirata, which was based more on reality than perception?  Has the perception of the retail auto industry been elevated to common knowledge, accepted as fact, so that "Buyer Beware" is the given starting point for any transaction?  Are the quality and warranty complaints from new house buyers so far fetched and without merit that lawsuits, or their settlements, are the only means for perpetuating the illusion that what is, isn't?
----------------------------------
I commented on Sittlerle Homes taking the high-road in an effort to root out dishonesty, etc.  It is unfortunate that the public will not be able to examine the extent of Sitterle Homes' high road.  Why should exemplary honorable behavior be shielded from public review?  Such non-disclosure leaves no alternative for the public other than to study the entire Sitterle Homes/Hirata history and to reach what may be their own misguided conclusions.
