Used Car Buyer Beware! ! Definitely felt like a second class citizen here - what a miserable experience. The sales rep indicated/implied there would be room on the price ! Definitely felt like a second class citizen here - what a miserable experience. The sales rep indicated/implied there would be room on the price and/or trade. He knew i was coming in to negotiate. Nope the 'manager' comes back - no room at all on price or trade (even though i had a higher competitive trade offer) - take it or leave it. It was entirely one-sided – no ‘negotiation’ at all. So i'm immediately annoyed, but I love the truck so I take it. In the middle of this, my sales rep gets sick and has to leave (not his fault). Everyone else ignores me for two hours. This was a CASH transaction - and I was there for total 2.5 hours while they did the paperwork for a cash transaction - paying asking price. I asked them one concession/favor, could they swap the wheels on the trade before i take it. the tires I wanted were snow tires, but I assumed they’d actual prefer to have the stock premium 20” wheels. Nope. We can’t do anything for you. As a bonus, my $45k truck only comes with ONE fob. Really? And then as a final parting gift - they make you sign a binding arbitration agreement (which is NEVER good for consumer). It was like their first car sale. Maybe they just had an off day, but... I expressed my displeasure to two people. One asked what he could do to make it better, but didn't offer/do anything. They'd already used the 'we want to earn your business' line on me. When you buy a used car, you don't really get to pick your dealer. This is a pretty complicated vehicle - high end truck. Again my salesman (who was VERY knowledgeable) got sick, but nobody even offered to go thru it with me. Sure glad i have access to Google. I felt ignored and demeaned by the dealership. Everyone knew it and nobody cared. It’s been a couple days now, and not even a call. I guess used cars are not their priority. It’s my fault, I should have walked when i had the chance, and bought a vehicle where they would appreciate me. More
