I had reserved a very similar car to the one I went to see, with a little more mileage and a lower price, reserved on Vroom. Me, figuring I'd save myself the two week wait, I see this car online. The exact same car Mazda Mazda3 Sedan Base White low miles. I call ahead and speak to Juan. He tells me that there are "no dealer fees", I tell him I just want to go in see the car and buy it cash, and see if we can negotiate a better price. Since the price I was paying in vroom was $17,000 this one was $17,200.
I look at the car, I'm being nice and say lets talk money. The saleswoman seemed nice enough at first. But then she starts adding all of these ridiculous fees to the price. It was like that episode of Seinfeld.
I explain that I already have a similar car reserved for $17000 on vroom.
Then she says that $17,211 is just what the dealership would have to sell it for to break even, and that she gets no commission at that price. So I agree to go up to $17,500. Then her story changes again. She says the car is reserved because someone is trying to finance it for $19,999. Then she shows me some other car on the lot for a similar price, it's not appealing to me since I like Mazdas. Then she says she'll call me in 2 days. Fat chance. I wouldn't give them my money even if they knocked $1,000 off of the price. What a horrible experience and a waste of my time. I can't wait until Carvana and Vroom make these awful dealerships a thing of the past.
