typical used car dealers; i went to purchase a car (with a small, hungry, tired child in tow) and was given the usual 2 hour run-around where the salesperson goes back and forth. In the end, the final "offer" was supposed to include a 100,000 mile warranty. When it came time to sign papers, I was told that Gap insurance was mandatory (when you are upside down on your trade). By then I was just ready to sign the papers and I did so - 3 hours from the time I walked in. Later I noticed they had charged me 1500 for the warranty and I also found out that the 500 Gap insurance was completely unnecessary. When I inquired the next day as to why I was charged for the warranty I was told "you said that a 450 a month payment was ok with you, and since the car was actually under that we added this". Can you believe that??? Typical. This required another trip back to sign MORE papers with the warranty and Gap insurance removed. i feel the dealership was trying to take advantage of my situation (small child, husband away on business) by dragging out the process, wearing me down and then throwing in things they hoped would just slide by.
