Illegal practices with illegal mandatory warranties and fees increasing the price by $4499 (before standard fees and taxes are even added). The salesman NICHOLAS MAGNUSSON, said he was going to have to "speak with his manager" to find out the final price for the vehicle. Upon returning, NICHOLAS MAGNUSSON said I MUST purchase an extended warranty for $2499 and a reconditioning fee of $2000, along with other fees and taxes even for a cash transaction. He claimed the reconditioning fee was for the conditioning necessary after they purchased the car from auction.
The warranty and reconditioning fees are the ones that I explicitly argued against, as they seemed contrived and unnecessary. I made it aware it was a deal-breaker for the warranty and reconditioning fee be mandatory. I immediately went home to find out if it was even legal. I discovered it was not. I am reporting it so that this dealer is held accountable.
I have also filed the issue with the Illinois Attorney General to ensure further accountability. Online reviews are also imminent.
