As many of us know dealership tags may come with a warning, Buyer Beware. These are the unfortunate facts. "One bad apple spoils the bunch!" We've had our share of nefarious dealings. Manager & Sales are deceptive with no remorse. Unfortunately you'll run into a dealership & the infamous B.S. artists. Sales Managers & commissions!
New Salesmen's Guide, "What to look for & how to close the deal!"
The list below is only a few of many on what to look out for!
Research reliable sites & Don't fall for the useless additions!
AVOID ADD-ONS....
1.) Security.
2.) Sealant.
3.) Gap Coverage.
4.) Extended Warranty.
5.) Interior protectant.
Read all reviews including 1 star information.
1- Safe neighborhood & town. No need for extra security feature the vehicle factory alarm is sufficient.
2-Sealant-Cure X--72 hours. Ask your trusted body repairman. 12 hour cure time is virtually impossible.
3-Gap Coverage.
Drive any new investment 12 hours & Avoid the quickie 10 minute test run. Reputable dealers allow longer times especially if the buyer is sincere. Drive 50+ miles, dashboard code lights up a.k.a. dummy lights, mechanics likely erased code, leaving you with costly repairs to come! Code Reader Engine Fault/ Diagnostic Tool~Innova 5610. Car & Driver reviews-under $200.00.
4-Extended Warranty. Finding a reliable used vehicle, low mileage, good+condition body & mechanics, use your trusted repair shop & likely you won't need the extended warranty.
5-Interior protection! Buy a can of Scotch-Guard, under $30.00.
IRA has numerous Dealerships
Many located on Rte.1 a.k.a. Auto-Mile.
Watch your back & steer clear of deviant dealers who want to line their pockets, not yours!
