Review of ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP

I spent months researching the car I wanted to get. I knew exactly what i wanted and it just so happened to be across the street from me at arrigo dodge. I was getting a used ford f150 from them. After a few days of back and forth negotiating, i was able to get the price down to what i think is the best deal i could get on this type of a car, anywhere. Although, the original price was actually pretty damn good itself, i must say. So I dont necessarily have a problem with their pricing of the vehicles. I have a problem with the fees they try and stick on you. Including a $799 dealer fee (pure profit for them), and almost $200 worth of other fees like electronic filing fee. I told them i wasnt going to pay for the fees. And of course, they wouldnt budge on them (seriously, they dont seem to budge on this). So my goal was to remove the fees from the price of the car. And i was able to for the most part. But then came the financing, which was kind of a nightmare. I was basically forced to use one of their banks to finance because they conveniently forgot to tell me they didnt actually have the title on hand, and they wouldnt have it for another few weeks! So long story short, i felt uncomfortable in this because not only was i not able to get the best rate, I felt they were screwing me over on the registration fee as well, which also conveniently doubled from their original estimate.

Summary:
Arrigo dodge has some well priced vehicles. Some staff are friendly. They will stick you with large fees no matter what, but this is kind of standard in florida. They do negotiate the price of the car, just walk out a few times and you ll get a good deal. Be prepared for surprises in financing, they will try and screw you over somehow.
