On 3/24/07 I went to Kevil Chevrolet in Budd Lake just to look at cars. My credit is just starting to get better, and when I ended up getting approved for a car loan, I was very excited - mind you at 14% interest, but I still got the loan.
The salesman showed me a 2007 Chevy Impala SS, and the sticker said $29,900 "Total Vehicle Price". No where on the vehicle did it say that it was a Dealer Demo and had 5,300 miles on it. I didn't find out about the 5,300 miles on it till after I signed the financial papers, and I signed the odometer miles form.
Additionally, after my busy 55 hour week, I sat down yesterday and looked at the sales receipt. Yes, I know I should have done so sooner, I know I should have really scrutinized the receipt when I signed for it, but everything happened so quickly, and I was very excited about the car, as well as getting the loan, and I was totally taken advantage of.
I'm attaching the car receipt, and the car sticker. If you notice, the total car price on the receipt says $31,400, while the car sticker says $29,900 - they overcharged me $1,500 more. When I called them up yesterday, and went to the dealer, and pointed it out the Sales Manager, his first comment was that it was true - two different totals. His second comment was that it was a premium vehicle charge of $1,500 for Super Sport models. However, no one told me of a $1,500 premium vehicle charge either. I called up other Chevy dealers, and they say there is no such thing.
So not only was I charged $1,500 over the sticker price, I was told this was a brand new vehicle and not told about the 5,300 miles and it being a dealer demo. Unfortunately, dealer demo's aren't considered used. I admit I have some blame in not scrutinizing and being excited, but feel I was totally taken advantage of being a single woman walking into a car dealer.
