I drove 85 miles to see a Prius V advertised for $12,777. I arrived gave them a LOT of info including my SSAN because they said it was necessary. They offered me dirt for my clean car w/ high miles. I drove their car a block and decided I wanted to buy it outright. They brought out a work sheet full of numbers. They put their hand over the numbers and tried to get me to OK a monthly payment. They wanted $800 for a dealer fee which is outrageous but they said Everyone is doing it so it's non-negotiable. Then $297 for a body finish and another $297 for a tint I didn't want and hadn't been applied yet. They said tint or no tint you have to pay $297. There was a FEE of $3000. I asked what it was for and they went on a rant about all the stuff they did. They called it dealer prep. It was for nothing. They had lowered their price to bring me in and then jacked it back up. The $12,777 car Really cost $17,171 nearly $3600 more than advertised. If I knew the REAL price I wouldn't have driven 170 miles. This is the kind of unethical practice you might find in a fly-by-night dealership, not a huge Nissan place with 35 foot ceilings taking up a square block. I doubt BBB would sanction this practice. Beautiful car but I deal with People I trust and that's Not them.
