Dealership Sales Review

Bait And Switch
Written by LATruckman on 05/02/2016

Went(drove 2 hours) to purchase this on 4/30 at the dealership. Advertised(on more than one website) price of $16,990. he Salesman stated this was the price(on more than one occasion)be for I asked. I offered to buy it at asking price. One inside the salesman started ask questions about "how much did I want to have the payments. I told him that I was not interested in the payments, just the purchase price. As it was moving forward he was entering what seemed to be a lot information in the computer. I asked him what he was filling out(a lot of personal info). I finally realized what he was doing, a credit report. I Asked him why he was doing that before they accepted my offer. His reply was to get "get an idea" of were they could get my payments. I told him again I was there to buy the car and not buy payments and the payments would be between me and the finance department. He acted as though I was not playing along to the game. That finished he took my asking price offer to the "sales manager". 15 minuets later the "sales manager" came in and stated there was a "mistake" in the price and said it was going to be $5,000(yes five thousand) more. The car had been listed for 85days and now all of a sudden it was wrong? He went on to say they might be able to come down just a little(a couple of hundred) if we wanted it today. Wow! They were turning the pressure up! Good deal, today only, we so sorry. No I was sorry I wasted my time and gas to go there. Oh well at least they lived up to the reputation of used car salesmen.
