Top 4 SNEAKY TRICKS from a dealer.

[kidcoastal]

Havent seen a thread on this yet. For all those hundreds here that have ordered their 300 can learn from the rest of have already purchased.

What are the TOP 4 sneaky things dealers have done/tried to do, to boost, pad, or tweak the numbers when signing the papers for your 300?

IT's not sneaky at all, but, locally here in SoCal, they add that $5,000-$7,000 "fair market value", then act like they are doing you a favor for talking to you. As if "It's higher in the bay area" makes their tactic any more appealing.

I realize they can't be expected to go "$500 over factory invoice," but it's been YEARS since a domestic car in volume production has generated this much buzz. I can't imagine how many have simply gone elsewhere due to the nose in the air treatment seen at most local dealers.

My dealer screwed me on the financing. Chrysler was offering $100 cash back with there financing. I have perfect credit and dealer gave me like 7.9% or somethink. I found out they added 2% on top of what chrysler added. I eventually switched to my credit union after finding out they lied to everyone about financing must stay for 3 months or you lose the financing this ended up not being true but dealer gets a kickback if car owner keeps financing for 30 days w/chrysler. I also should have asked for a discount off of sticker since my car had 900 miles on it.

thedon01 - No hemi though right? The upcharge people are talkign about is on the 300C's. YOu can get base 300's pretty much anywhere I think.

[thedon01]

21400$ is a smokin deal everyone thinks it is a 300c that asks about it I have had offers on it for 30000$ bucks but cant let it go it looks to damn cool I will post some pics soon

haha.... that is like getting a wad of one dollar bills and wraping a twenty on the outside!!

[kidcoastal]

Oh my God, I think this is the first time I caught myself laughing out loud at my computer screen. That was a damn funny analogy. I couldnt think of one better.
True, you could juice up the outside of a base model to look like a C, but it truly is a different car entirely.

Ok what other dealer scams are out there?

[coolvanilla]

When they point you to their web site for pics and then ask you to sign in. Oh never mind, that was "wesexcellence"!

thedon, if I bought a car for $21400, or even $24000 after tax and someone offered me 30K for it... I would have the title signed over so fast and kiss er' goodbye.. With that money you could go right back and get yourself a limited or touring and get the rims you wanted with that $$....
