New auto dealership makes things right
Mary Barnt didn’t go to Walmart in Punta Gorda planning to buy a car last November, but she drove off with one.
While currently under new ownership, the then-named Charlotte Honda-VW dealership held a used car “tent sale” in Walmart’s parking lot. The 82-year-old Punta Gorda resident traded in her 2000 Ford Focus station wagon for a 2008 Saturn Vue SUV with 61,400 miles for about $24,000, plus an $1,800 maintenance service contract.
