Have you ever been taken advantage of by car dealerships?

Last car I bought was in Christmas of 2015. I remember they were offering everything under the sun as a recommended option. They also sent me to a finance guy who obviously was not understanding what he was doing, because he quoted me an APR for my 84 month payment but didnt do the calculation correctly.


Also what is all these other fees? 300$ documentation?

The worst part of buying from a dealership. If you ask questions about how they calculate their figures you quickly learn they have no idea what they are talking about.

That's why you secure financing prior to walking in a dealership

Toyota tried getting me at the beginning of the yr..was looking at a new Tundra..

It was amazing how quickly the price came down as I walked to the door. Vehicle plus TTL came down nearly 9k in about 15 seconds.

While in college I leased a new accord. Go to turn it in and had inspection done before and the guy tells me it's been wrecked and had a paint job. Knowing that I never did that, asked the dealership about it and found out they did not disclose this info at the time of the lease deal.

Sued them, won, got money, but I'm never allowed back on their property.

I'm thinking the finance guy splurged all over your back from raping you in the arse with that APR, but being an Aggie you enjoyed it NTTIAWWT

The finance guy talked to was the sleaziest, fast talking shyster of a human I've ever encountered. Guy was pissed when I secured my financing elsewhere.

The finance guy at a dealership will normally show you a really high payment first to make the low payment look better
