Boston Foreign Motor

I went to Boston Foreign Motor (BFM) to look at a vehicle listed on their website. It was listed wrong on their website as it said the vehicle had a Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG), a $1,500 option, and it d listed on their website. It was listed wrong on their website as it said the vehicle had a Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG), a $1,500 option, and it did not. Other than that the vehicle was in decent shape besides a more than average amount of grease under the hood, a cracked shifter knob, and a light out in the glove compartment. When I offered $2,900 dollars below their listed price, they explained to me that the price online these days are pretty much fixed. They insisted that the listed the lowest they could sell it for and no dealers who list their cars online are negotiable. It was so fixed that I managed to get $1,300 off the price. When we agreed on the price we talked about financing, they promised to get the same rate I could get on my own. I started filling out the application and before I even handed him the application or agreed to a credit check, Peter, the finance manager, had ran it without my consent! The rate was not even close to what I could get and they stated that this is what they could offer, and I stopped filling out the application. I explained to them that I could not pay that high interest rate and I needed some time to make this decision. Milad told me that this was only the rate for tonight, and pressured me to buy then since it was already passed closing time. I told him that I really need to think about it and I will be back first thing in the morning if I decided to buy it. On the way out Milad had remarked "come back when you have some more confidence!" This statement had made my decision not to purchase an easy one. Sure enough I got a call the morning from Peter to purchase the car. I called Peter today to ask him to remove his credit inquiry as CREDCO, their credit reporting agency, had recommended. Peter said that he had three witnesses to me verbally agreeing to run a credit report; his alleged witnesses are the high pressure salesmen who were standing around. I never consented to this. He also told me that he had my signature authorizing this. I have not signed any documentation for him to run my credit. I wish I had taken the reviews and Better Business Bureau complaint more seriously before I went to Boston Foreign Motors. They do have competitive prices but are less willing to negotiate than most dealers so I would be cautious of everything they try to tell you and be sure to shop around before resorting to Boston Foreign Motors.
