I make this post with the hopes that alot of people read it and I hope it helps them out:
------------------------
They absolutely low-balled me on my traded-in value. They absolutely did not work with me in-regards to having a competitive price considering their price was almost $2000 above fair market value.

I say all this because even before I drove several hours to do business; and I was told they don't like to miss business.

I got all of their sales pitches...........every trick in the book.
I'm a well-educated person and I know all their sales tactics and tricks and they pretty much pulled them all out.....even switching the numbers around like I wouldn't notice.

Now my sales person was a really nice person and I told this person bluntly everything but this person still made it sound like we could make it work. (I'm not name dropping)

* I say all this because I've purchased three new cars in the past from big dealerships.
* I say all this because I know people who work at dealerships and they let me in on alot of things and sales tactics that dealerships use.

What you people have to understand is that:

- if you go to dealerships, especially big dealerships like this one; is that they have HUGE overhead costs and they have to meet their weekly and monthly sales goals or else they start losing money. So they either screw you over in your trade in or make alot of money on car sales....either way they do it.....this is how it's done.

* They expect you to know things about dealerships due to the internet but what they ARE banking on is YOU NOT being able to:
# spot the flipping of financial numbers,
# the sales tactics
# their black book values
# their sales pressure,
# and you're ability to control the sales environment and to just
simply just walk away from the table.

- I completely understand that dealerships have to make money and the consumer wants to save money......BUT when it's completely one sided in the dealership's favor and most of the time it is that way due to buyers who are not well-educated like I am......then that's when you WALK AWAY FROM THE TABLE.

Lastly, I want to say to everyone:

******THIS IS YOUR MONEY AND BUYING A CAR TODAY IS AN ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY.
------cars today are just simply too expensive and a waste of money financially. SO DON"T SETTLE FOR LESS.

WALK AWAY............

I promise you there will be another car that will come along that you will like or love and there will be a person or a dealership that will actually work with you and give you a fair value for your trade-in.
