Our experience went ok. - Sydney
Our experience went ok. The vehicle we wanted to see was not at the lot when we got there as the owner was driving it. They acted like they were going to give us a great deal because of this along with the 200 miles he put on the “new” car. By the end of it there was no longer a great deal. The salesman added a “paint protection” as he said “they had to make money off it too”. I agreed to this thinking I was still getting a great deal and who wouldn’t want to have extra protection on their brand new black vehicle. The vehicle was listed lower online. The salesmen had me sign a paper which is my fault for not looking at what I was signing but basically once in financing I realized the “great deal” we were supposed to get was no longer great but that I had already signed whatever paper so that’s what I was getting. Even the finance guy checked to make sure this paint protection was added at this point because I was questioning the price and the salesmen said yes. When speaking rates, they told us it would be in the high 8s which is insane as my husband and I have 800+ scores. I went online and found BOA had a lower rate. I applied and of course got approved not far from their best rate to which the dealership could now match that rate. Funny. The best part of it is, our friend does detailing and looked at this “paint protection” they added…. that he swears they didn’t actually add. Overall I’m happy with my vehicle but this experience made me realize I really need to see what I’m signing and that “great deals” aren’t always great for me but more so the dealership. I may have had a better experience at a different dealership but the vehicle I was looking for was hard to find and they happened to have it so here I am.
