I paid the MSRP for the package I made on subaru’s website and then $353 in doc and registration fees and tax!!

Just bought a Hyundai Palisade (Calligraphy) for the wife. Local dealership didn't have and couldn't get the color we wanted. It seems that dealers don't like to order anything other than Black, White, Silver and Graphite. After an exhaustive search, we found one in the color we wanted (Dark Blue exterior with white leather interior). It was $1200 less than our local dealer was selling them for, AND they gave us $1000 more for our trade than our local dealer offered. The dealership knew they had a good price on it and wouldn't negotiate. Regardless, even without negotiating, the $2200 swing was well worth the 3 hour drive to buy and take delivery of it.

I loved the surprise at the end with Kia. Walked into a Kia dealership last week and the "scam sicker" already had an $1,800 increase above MSRP. I was still interested in the Seltos but when we got to the table they had non-negotiable extended warranties and fees totaling over $5k. When we pushed back it turned from driving the car and looking at the numbers to "what can we do to have you take the care home today". Even after that they didn't lower the price at all because people will pay that much above sticker.

The biggest issue I had with my local Chevy dealership was the bait and switch. In 2013 I was in the market for a new car and wanted a Cruze. I found one advertised on the dealer’s website at $22,000, and went in for a test drive. This car was a 2LT model with the two tone seats, pioneer stereo system, and a sunroof. They sent me on an overnight test drive, so when I came back in the morning I was sold and told them I’d take it. It was at this point that they pulled their bologna of telling me that they had accidentally advertised the wrong stock number for the price, and told me that I would have to take a 1LT model with the regular touchscreen stereo, the simple black seats, and no sunroof. In the end they got the raw end of the deal because I made them throw in virtually everything I could for the price they had already advertised for. I got the gap insurance($500), I got the extended warranty ($1500), I got all of the BS paint and interior protection mumbo-jumbo($500), I got remote start installed($400), window tint($150), and factory floor mats($200) and other things I don’t remember included in their original price. I made them give me free oil changes and tire rotations for the life of the warranty also. Told them I’d walk and blast their Yelp and Facebook pages with bad reviews if they didn’t play ball. They would have done better to give me the original car they’d sent me home with. Dickheads. Maxie Price Chevrolet in Stone Mountain Georgia, Corvette superstore.

100% right on Kia... at least from the dealership I dealt with last week. Was trying to get a decent deal on a K5 GT Line. They had tacked on $3,000 dealer profit to the price. Couldn't even get them to go down to MSRP. The more I sat there listening to them go on and on about the chip shortage and car shortage I thought there was no way I was going to even pay MSRP on a Kia (of all makes). Plus they contradicted themselves about four times in the 30 minutes I sat there with the sales manager. Frustrated I stopped at the Subaru dealer on the way home. Test drove a Legacy and ended up buying it. No games, treated me like a human being and I got it for 5% below MSRP. It was actually a pleasant experience and I know I got the better vehicle.

They expected full msrp on the 19. They wanted 799 doc fee. They were trying to get me to accept a higher interest rate than I thought I should get with 800 credit score. Low balled my trade and made up a story about the automatic transmission grinding. Said they couldn't find me keys when I said I was done not buying today and it time to leave. I had to talk to the sales manager before the keys were magically found. I stalled out on buying for a while and did eventually buy a Tacoma 8 month later at Bill Kidd's Toyota in Timonium MD. The deal was fair, no monkey business and I was very pleased with how professional they were. The difference in dealerships was night and day.

I almost bought a Equinox last month. It was a nice red, equipped like I wanted, and was at a good price. The salesman walked inside while I was getting my check book for the deposit. Going back by, I put a small "moon eyes" sticker on it. I always do that after I almost got in the wrong car once. Went inside and wrote a check for the deposit and filled out the finance papers. I went back to work and later they said my loan was approved and I could pick the car up the next morning. (Saturday, it was getting late on Friday). Signing the final papers, I noticed it said it was black. When I asked about the color, the salesman told me I had looked at a black car. I asked to look at the car. No moon eyes sticker. THAT car, with my sticker, was out by the street to draw traffic. The manager got rather stuffy with me insisting I had bought a black one. I showed a picture on my phone of the car I wanted to buy. I walked out. They didn't want to return my deposit. I put a "refer to originator" order on it. I now have a very nice little CX-5 and couldn't be happier.

As someone who works for a Hyundai dealer in the state of KY I can say that we do not mark up our vehicles over MSRP the reason being is because our owners have worked very hard to be the #1 Hyundai dealer in the state for 7 years and they do not think it's right to mark up vehicles over MSRP because it doesn't leave as good of an impression on the customer.

I have owned 23 different vehicles in my life. None of them were manufactured after 1972. Presently own/drive a 66 Chevelle, and a 61 Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4. No interest in newer stuff, and I spin my own wrenches.

The CDJR dealer in the southwest of Louisville tried to slide in a lot of fees on us. We walked after seeing they tried to charge us $300 for tinted windows on a used Jeep. We went and bought a Hyundai....good experience so far.

[@xxairman09xx]

Check your state DMV for the max allowable doc fee that a dealership is allowed to charge you. In CA the legal amount is $85

[@dwigg1975]

So I just paid over msrp for a 2021 Chevy Tahoe. I was told other Chevy dealers are charging $5k over msrp for the new Tahoe’s due to the extreme lack of inventory. I paid $3K over and called around the next day. No one is charging over msrp and the car is becoming more available. I was lied to and it sucks.

[@wesleyellis9451]

Honda dealers do it with the Civic Type R as well. MSRP starts at $38-44k, but the dealer markup will send the sticker price into Corvette or even non-911 Porsche territory.

[@eac1235]

Yep.Just like with the Volkswagen Corrado years ago. Its ridiculous how the dealers are allowed to add thousands of dollars to a car people are led to believe will cost a certain amount then they get real sticker shock.

[@kevinstorm6009]

@@eac1235 Shame on anyone who pays above MSRP for any vehicle! Such fools have no one to blame but themselves! I've never 'needed' to have a specific vehicle. That said, it's helpful that I don't live in the middle of nowhere too. For every make of vehicle, we have several dealerships that carry them within 50 miles or less.

I bought a 2017 Kia Niro new and in retrospect they definitely took me for way more than I should have paid. Love the car, but will never go back to that dealer. Decided after that experience that I'd never go in blind like that again. My wife and I just bought a used a 2013 Ford F-150, and your videos had us super prepared for everything. Got a great price on exactly the truck we wanted, and got good trade in value for her Nissan, all thanks to binge watching your videos. Definitely will sub and keep watching.

With Kia I think 🤔 it's depends on the dealership and the model. I just got a Stinger below MSRP and they dropped the extra charges. In and out with 2 test drives 3 and a half hours.

[@BeCoShooter]

Always have In-Hand financing from another source when you walk in. If their offer is higher than your pre-approved APR, pull out your bank's offer. If they say, we can match this APR, ask for more off the vehicle, because they make money on the financing too.

Only issue that I have an it was fairly minor, most dealers don't know about all of the features or how to use them. Granted there are a LOT of features so I cut them a break on that.

How is it in the states right now with the pandemic ? in Canada every dealership can't have cars from the manufacturer. we really have a LOA, we have to order cars for every client cause we dont have it in stock. Ford is also having so many problems having trucks. are you not the same situation ?

[@BeepasGarage]

Our Hyundai dealer is actually one of the most trustworthy in the area. The owner has a policy for his dealerships that they won’t sell over MSRP, and are one of the few not doing it in the area.

[@Jesus_Not_Christ]

Is transportation charge the same as destination charge?

[@kevinstorm6009]

No. As he clearly pointed out in the Tesla example, the 'transportation charge' is the cost charged by Tesla when they bring a car from one of their shops in another city to s location near the purchaser's home. The 'destination fee' is the typical cost of transporting a vehicle from the new vehicle factory to a dealership. In most cases, you can buy a vehicle that's built in Detroit from a dealer right down the street from the factory OR from a dealership as far away as San Diego or Miami Beach and you'll all pay the same destination fee.

This can be common on the west coast. I worked for a Chevrolet dealer in Iowa and our finance manager used to complete deals in California. Their manager purposefully made the finance department sit on the completed paperwork for almost an hour before bringing the customer in. By that point, the customer would be so sick of being in the dealership they would answer yes to everything just to leave with their car, adding several dealer fees in the process. It pays to keep your patience, ask questions and read through the details before agreeing to ANYTHING.

I always hear, "I signed it without reading it". If you read it, would you understand it? It is deliberately written to confuse. Establish the rules of engagement when you first go in. Exam[le #1, I will be here 90 minutes I will be leaving with or without a new car. My sister in law and her daughter spent 4 hours on a Saturday at a Honda Dealership. At least they each leased a car. The daughter's son leased a new Nissan. They called him 5 days later and said the lease wasn't approved. He went back and signed a new lease at $65 more a month. He called and asked my wife if this was legal. He didn't want to talk to me. The spot delivery is alive and well. 2 years ago he tried to buy a used KIA. 5 days later they called and said financing wouldn't go through without $3000 more. He didn't have it or the $1 a mile they wanted for his use of the car. He saw it, he signed it, but he didn't read it or understand it. 300 plus comments illustrate my points. That mountain of paperwork has been developed over decades to befuddle and confuse.

The biggest scam I've seen was Bait and switch on a New G.M.C from Coyle Chevrolet in Clarksville, Indiana they showed on there website a great deal so I printed it out and went right down there to purchase the New Truck only the Manager wasn't going to sale me the Truck for that price I said well you have it posted for that price online he said he would be removing it from the website he acted as if he was very angry at me loud tone voice beat red in the face and he did just that I checked when I got home and it was no longer on there website so I will cross the Bridge to Kentucky before buying anything from that Dealership my son got to see how they were as well so he wont be a future customer either.
