Do you ever see a car advertised for a low price in the newspaper? Then when you go to the dealer, you find out it has two dozen rebates you don’t qualify for? What the heck is a farm bureau rebate in the city? Or a public safety rebate? Maybe they will have a pregnant giraffe rebate next time? All of these rebates should be disclosed in the ads before you even get out of your easy chair.
Finally when you go into the dealership and sit down with them to buy the car, then they try to tack on an advertising fee. Oh and don’t forget the doc fee, because we all know how hard it is to fill out the paperwork to make a sale. Just give me the paperwork and I will fill it out. They can pay me the $150.00 instead.
Another pet peeve of mine is the low or good miles listed in a used car ad. Why not just list the mileage? What is good miles vs. low miles? To a dealer 100,000 miles may be low miles or to a customer 25,000 miles listed on the odometer may be low. They could easily just put the actual odometer mileage in the ad without the BS. We figure from there.
Do dealers think that if a vehicle is listed in a used car ad as having low or good mileage and you end up in the showroom only to find the car has a 150,000 miles that you are going notice? Or how about when they list the used car as being better than new? Better than new! WTF! Who thinks a used car is better than a brand spanky shiny new one?
I don’t know about you but I am going to try and find a pregnant giraffe so I can qualify for the next dealer rebate….
