On June 09, my wife and I decided to go look at the Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 at Hyundai of Santa Maria. The salesman told us that there was a $1500 rebate, and we really liked the vehicle so we decided to get it. The payments were right up at the end of our range, but we said ok. We had the truck about a week and they called us back in for a "re-write". This is where they tell you about all of your issues that they knew about when they first ran you credit report, and tell you that they need more money, or it's going to be a higher interest so your payment is going to go up.
I told them "no thank you" and that I would like my trade in back. This is when the finance man got the General Manager, who then made some quick adjustments. "Miraculously" the general manager was able to take off an extra $1500 to keep our payments where they were at, so we agreed.
When I got home, I looked at the original sticker price which was $22714, and realized that they had charged me $22071 for the vehicle. WHERE'S THE REBATE? WHERE'S THE EXTRA $1500 I SUPPOSEDLY GOT TAKEN OFF THE PRICE???
Watch yourself if you ever need to deal with these people. I'm sure that they will continue this practice in the future. Stand up for yourselves and don't take the re-writes lying down, and ALWAYS check your numbers. Hopefully if they are worth their weight they will contact me and take care of this.
