Finally, XXXX said they were processing my account and the title would be sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX tomorrow. She said my refund of {$350.00} will take up too 20 days to process. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received the title and bill of sale, the bill of sale did not reflect the residual value of the car which was {$20000.00} but was the buyout amount of {$2400.00}. I called KIA Finance at XXXX and eventually spoke with XXXX for over 40 min. XXXX said that was the price I paid for the car, but I said there is a mistake. kept justifying the amount. He then reassured me he would expedite my refund. I called Illinois Department XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was informed the amount of taxes I would have to pay was {$1300.00} Plus {$190.00} registration and title change. Now I have paid XXXX taxes {$1900.00} and XXXX on the same car. I was never informed by XXXX or the dealership that at the time of lease that if I purchase the XXXX XXXX after lease I would be responsible for a dabble tax. on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I called KIA motor finance about my refund I was told they are waiting from a response from accounting. I have been calling XXXX about my refund. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I called KIA motor finance XXXX at XXXX and spoke to XXXX about my refund of {$350.00} however she said it is pending and she could not tell me anything else.
