Dealership Sales Review

tricked into buying an $800 alarm that should have only cost $359
Written by skung on 07/20/2007
This was the first new car I bought and the sales experience was fine and price was settled on pretty quickly, I guess I threw out a high starting price. The salesman was helpful in getting me a decent APR and did drive me back to the rental car agency to drop of my rental. But my issue was with the finance department. I got a decent APR, but the lower the better. The finance mgr offers to drop the APR even more if I buy this $800 alarm, and this alarm would only cost me an extra $1 a month on my monthly payments. At first I hesitated and said no, because its $800. But he kept insisting that it was only a dollar extra a month and that if you didn't buy it they couldn't lower my APR more. So I caved and bought it. Little did I know that you should never buy anything in the Finance dept. When I checked the Toyota website at home for the msrp of an alarm system it was only $359. Still a little bitter that I got suckered into buying an overpriced alarm, but lesson learned. I wouldn't buy another car here.
