I felt compelled to share my recent car buying experience - Risingstarcorp
I felt compelled to share my recent car buying experience at HGreg to help others make an informed decision. The salesperson was pleasant and patient, assisting me thoroughly as I selected my vehicle. However, the financial side of the transaction raised some concerns that I believe potential customers should be aware of.
The initial price of the vehicle was $23,000, but with all the added fees and services, my total loan escalated to $35,000. Here’s a breakdown of the additional charges:
Pre-Delivery Fee: $1,299
Electronic Registration Fee: $899
Ally Gap Coverage: $1,200
Alpha Warranty Protection: $4,681
(I opted for this comprehensive bumper-to-bumper coverage, anticipating it might benefit resale value in the future.)
Anti-Theft Protection: $799
Elite Protection Plan: $1,495
(This was required by HGreg, not optional.)
Sales Tax: $1,600
County Tax: $50
Sales Tax on Ancillary Products: $488.25
Doc Stamp Taxes: $124.95
I am sharing this to keep potential buyers informed, as I suspect not everyone is charged uniformly. If anyone notices any discrepancies that could suggest legal recourse or a way to recover some costs, please let me know. I feel taken advantage of and will ensure my review remains visible to aid others.
