Dealership Sales Review
I have been in the south for about 7yrs now & I still can't figure out why these dealerships play with the numbers at the end of the deal. The last three days were a waste of my time, my wife and daughters time & my in-laws time! The sad part is, my in-laws have purchased 3 vehicles from them in the past. When customer says they need to be at a certain number for a payment due to there budget.... More than likely they excpect GAP insurance to be included in the payment that you show to them. Nobody doesnt buy NEW cars without gap insurance. If the local dealer cannot bundle in the price due to local state laws, when customer first tells you the payment they need to be at, it would be common sense to ask the customer if they are including GAP in that payment, so that they can include it in the proposal that the customer authorized. Soo... they take us out of our car on Sunday and put us in the truck. They transfer the tags as well and the stuff from the car to the truck. I leave Sunday with the payment of $415.00 quoted by he Sales Manager Todd. Was already more than what I wanted to pay. I told them between $380-$400, so I gave in to $415. They tell us to come back tomorrow to finalize the paper work because that day the banks are closed, no problem. So we come back the following afternoon. So about 5min after we get there, I am told by my sales person GLEN,(which is a GREAT SALESPERSON!)that they shortened the loan by 3 months and the payment went up $5.00 more a month. Now I am irritated but I gave in again! So now they got the truck getting detailed and fueled up for delivery, mind you my tags are already on it. They already burned 'x' amount of man hours on this deal! So about 45min later the finance manager comes to me and introduces himself (another great guy by the way) and shows me this sheet with additional options with 4 more different payments. I called it the [non-permissible content removed] sheet. them tryin to upsale you on paint protection and all this other garbage and ext warranty crap. Its a NEW truck. The FACTORY warranty works just fine. And the paint has a factory clear coat. So while looking at these upgraded packages, he kept saying they all include GAP insurance, so I am like, Is GAP ins. included in the payment that was quoted to me. He says with GAP ins. the payment will be $427.00. So it went from $380-$400, $415, $420 and the final number $427. So I say I want the truck with GAP ins for $415.00 a month or I want my car back. So they decided to lose the customer and they gave me my car back over $12 a month. In my eyes and many others, thats BAD bussiness!
