Jody,
This site is wonder for the average non-professional car buyer!
Great work!!
Many years ago when I was in College, I sold XXXlers. I saw every one of these scams and more. (Even changing totals on credit card slips for more profit.)
The owner's motto was "If you didn't insult them, you didn't even try to get the deal"!
This was a nine month experience I will NEVER forget (hence my sceptical attitude)!
I was suprised about a lot of things, but the complicity of the companies in squeezing the customer got to me the most.......Awards for the highest sales prices on specific models and highest profit margins. If you think that value to the customer comes first, why would a corporate entity want to see just how much a dealership could soak each and every customer?
Those poisonous Dealer Added Markup stickers in this way were rewarded by the highest places.
