Reason I quit selling cars..I'm an honest person I couldn't take lying to people. Needless to say in short time was doing it .I lost many good customers because of it and the dealership manager was always after me trying for me to get their phone numbers so later on I could harass them with phone calls. Trade in its a joke too! but not to many do their homework before going out to buy a car. So not only this place they are a many out there that are doing the same scam. People need to open their eyes and be prepared when you go to any dealership. ......SHARKS!!!!

Be serious and close these crooks once for all.

I was ripped off by them too, they advertise low prices, then add tinting, desert paint protection, dealer add-ons and = 3,000 or 4,000 extra to the sale price. Any idea how to report this?

Well these are called leader ads people and the car lots are not the only ones doing it. Ever seen the Best Buy ads with the really cheap laptop or tv and then VOILA when you get there they never have them and sell you something more expensive? They all do it, not just the gyp car lots.

Gee, what a surprise...NOT!. Why were only these guys caught at deceptive sales practices? This has been going on for years. Isn't a car salesman, or any salesman for that matter, trained to deceive or stre-e-e-tch the truth without appearing to?

Oldest trick in the book. They all do it just to get you on thier lot, then they 'pressure' sell you. This is why (years ago) I never made salesman of the year. Wonder why? Your best bet is to buy with cash and don't figure in your trade-in (last) till all sales are FINAL .This is called (your) buying power, not thiers. And watch out for the warranty scams.

Duh! This has been going on in this town for many years and numerous dealerships including manufacturer dealerships. They advertise a supper low price usually one or two vehicles which either never existed or were sold, probably to an employee. Only Good ol boy Terry would be this slow to catch on. Remember this lack of prowless when he runs for gov in 2 years.

This is the reason the greatest insult to be thrown at anyone you truly dispise or distrust, is labeled "a used car salesman."

A bunch of Con-Artists!!!!

Most all car salesmen lie and try to cheat you!!!! (they're trained to do that, paint a pretty picture, until they get you to sign) then you see the figures change ($$$ MORE $$$)
