I pulled up an internet ad at AUTOMART.com for a 2002 Hyundai Accent and called a sales manager saying, "Do you still have that 2002 Hyundai Accent for $5988?"
The sales manager said yes come down and take a look at it. After negotiating the price I asked them the price of the vehicle with the interest included and he gave me $6973 - THAT IS THE AMONUT THAT I AM FINANCING! THis is my first car so I thought that $5988 interest the total for the car was $6973! Turns out they sold me the car for $7513 with a $1600 down payment! WHen I tried to contact them they wouldn't return my phone calls, I went down to the dealership and they all walked outside and gave me a bogus number to a customer representative and told me it was someone that handled contract disputes—which was false!
No one would talk to me because they knew what they had
done. When I finally got a person on the phone their
response was: "We bought the cars from courtesy mazda and we don't honor THEIR vehicle selling price." So all that time in the dealership they led me to believe that the car was $5988 and I had accumulated all of these fees because I was a first time buyer. They took advantage of me not knowing very much about cars. The car is ok, but I believe they should sell the car for what it was advertised.
1 week ago i went to automart.com to look at cars and I saw the same car that I purchased with the exact VIN# for $6988! I've already purchased the car! Someone is posting cars on this website and then not honoring the advertised price but the dealership doesn't make it clear that the price has changed.
