harpers chrysler of dickson ripoff- $10,000 in excess of msrp. dickson Tennessee
The best way to get a good car deal anymore is not to deal with any car dealer anymore. I have been totally ripped off by harpers chrysler of dickson. There are no more legimate car dealers left. they are all the same. (just sign right here, the sales contract is the catch. when you sign you are legally agree with what every you sign for, which is a bad deal for you and a good deal for them. After you sign, you have to pay for what you signed for or loose it and face bad credit. the better business bureau does not care either. REMEMBER THIS, THE BEST CAR DEAL IS NO CAR DEAL AT ALL!

Negative Equity? Most dealers roll numbers up to cover up negative equity.

They do this because banks will not let you show a negative on a contract. Example: If you owed 20 thousand on a vehicle that was worth 10 thousand then your net trade would be -10 thousand. But the banks will not let you show a negative trade. So 10 thousand is added to the value of your trade and also to the price. The trade is not worth more than 10 thousand so you have to add 10 thousand to both sides. Lets assume that the vehicle price is 25k. 25k-10k(trade)+ 20k(owed on trade)=35k (amount financed)or 35k - 20k + 20k =35k. Its the same either way. If all you look at is the price it looks like you were overcharged by 10k. If you look a little closer I bet you will see that the dealer gave you an extra 10k for your trade.

Don't you read what you sign?

So you signed a purchase contract for a car, and didn't read it beforehand? You didn't know what price you were paying before you agreed to buy the car? I'd love to hear the dealer's side of this, but I'd still say that you are responsible for a great deal of the situation that you're in.
