Yes, it was.

I know that I signed all of the paper work.

I've purchased 3 other vehicles from 3 different local dealerships in the last 7 years. I've never once had a finance guy repeatedly bold face LIE to me.
I even asked him about canceling the warranty after the fact, to which his reply was wait 4-6 months and I would get 100% back (which is a LIE - according the the warranty contract). He said it was a "loophole".

It is my own fault for falling for this. But I think that others potential customers should at least be aware of these types of practices. From what I gather researching this practice online, this is common for dealers to do. If recognized, it should be reported to the state attorney general and FTC. (Both of which I plan on doing after I get the warranty cancelled.)

Was just looking into if the OT had any good advice.

Always have your deal done before you talk to the F and I guy. They absolutely will straight up lie to your face, not all, but plenty will.
I'm 52 and I have bought plenty of cars and they will still try it on me.

You may have some recourse legally, IDK.

you keep saying he lied to you yet I don't see it.


He said if you want a lower rate you have to purchase the warranty. That was the deal they were willing to make, you are just a dummy

Thanks for letting everyone it was Brian Harris. Was the Brian Harris guy's name STEVE?
That dealership is the worst I have ever dealt with. They tried to take me after the sale for nearly 2,000 dollars. They lied and told me the state was going to repo my brand new car if I did not pay the "extra" tax - I told everyone in Baton Rouge about this scam. I held my ground and told the manager he was a fraud. Go to social media and cars.com and write reviews. The incompetent manager will call you immediatley when he see that you are letting everyone know what a POS that place is.

You might want to look into leasing.

You fell for "coupons"?!?!?

Then you'd never spoken to one.


It's what they do.
