If you know cars, and are familiar with how to buy a used car, these gentleman can be difficult to deal with. First and foremost they want a $300 NON-running doc fee, which means you are responsible for taking care of tax, title, registration, and inspection. So, if something doesn't pass inspection, or at the RMV after you leave with it, your on the hook for that too. Most dealerships will send a runner to do all of this for $50-$100 and half of the time will waive the fee if your nice.
Next issue was the "no haggling" approach I received after identifying a few minor issues with the vehicle I had driven and looked at. I was told they do not haggle and that everything they have is priced to sell. However, the vehicle I was looking at was a manual transmission, 13 years old, and has been listed there for just over half a year now according to two other sites as well. In my opinion, it's not priced to sell at 3k over book value, with zero wiggle room after identifying possibly soon to be issues with the vehicle.
I was not looking for tons off the window price, but I was looking for a little give based on solid facts about the car and they refused to budge, or even entertain the idea of waiving the high doc fee either. The response I got was very staunch in that it is what it is. So in conclusion and my opinion, if you are armed with knowledge about cars and the services that you should receive for the money you are spending, you might want to try somewhere else first. read more
