Common Dealership Scams You Should Know About
Thinking about purchasing a car from your local dealership? Hold on!
Before you visit any car dealership, it's crucial to be aware of common scams they might use. This guide will help you identify these tricks so you can avoid falling victim to them.
Low Balling
This is a common tactic where the dealer promises the lowest possible price to entice you into negotiations. However, when talks begin, that low price mysteriously disappears. It turns out to be an empty promise aimed at drawing you in.
Trade-In Scam
After you've bought the car, the salesperson might contact you, claiming there was an error and the car was priced $500 lower than quoted. If you pay the difference, it's just extra money in their pocket.
Best Price Matching
Dealers often ask you to return once you find the best price elsewhere, promising to match it. By then, you might be too exhausted to shop around anymore, making you more likely to accept their offer.
Spraying
Dealers may relentlessly pursue you to make a purchase, and if you choose another dealer, they'll claim they could have offered a better deal. To avoid constant calls, consider not sharing your contact information, or give an alternative number.
Immediate Sale
You might be offered an enticing deal with the caveat that it expires by day's end. The urgency can lead to impulsive buying without comparing other offers.
Extra Accessories
Dealers might throw in extras like floor mats or window tinting, aiming to distract you from negotiating the car's price itself. These "extras" can slow down price discussions and divert your attention.
Puppy Dog Trick
This involves letting you take the car home overnight or for a day in hopes that you'll become attached and decide to buy it.
Conclusion
Everyone wants the best deal on a car, and dealerships know this. Being aware of these common tactics arms you with the knowledge to counteract them.
Before visiting a dealership, ensure you're prepared for these potential scams. Knowing what tricks might be used against you gives you the necessary defenses when the time comes.
