Just browse thru the complaints of alleged ripoffs and you'll see the "quality" of far too many customers...
1. They will gladly play the role of doormat, chump or sucker and then can't understand why they got screwed.
2. To them, the cost of the car is the monthly payment.
3. They sign document after document WITHOUT reading what they signed.
4. They glady accept bogus, add-on, phoney fees.
5. They accept used cars without having the dealer fix the car BEFORE buying it.
6. They don't have a mechanic of their choice to go over the car BEFORE buying it.
7. They can't or won't understand the dealer needs them, they don't need the dealer.
8. Then the ultimate lack of common sense...sending off their money to somebody they don't know to buy a used car, sight unseen on the internet!
Yes, being a smart consumer is a rarity!!!

I have heard many people complain about getting ripped off by Auto Dealers and it just doesnt make any sense! The consumer has all the control in the situation the consumer has to spend on average 2-3 hours at a car lot to purchase a car and it isnt till the very end when they are asked to sign papers to actually purchase the car. So for 3 hours or 180 minutes you have the option to leave and not purchase anything also in the finance office you are presented all the numbers THEN you sign the contract so you have ample time to get up and leave. Nobody forces people to sign papers at a car lot they dont hide key and they dont lock you in a office!

In the state of Oklahoma every used vehicle comes with a buyers guide. This states many things that could go wrong with the vehicle. Also in the state of Oklahoma there are salvage and rebuilt titles. These are for vehicles that can not be fixed correctly, and banks do not lend money on them. From time to time people wreck a car and fix it and then trade it in. Ive been a manager in the auto industry for 10 years now and Ive NEVER had or seen a used car manager go looking for vehicles with body damage. Im sorry that you had a negative selection experiance but that is all it was. You said yes and bought the truck. You spent an average of 2 extra hours after seeing it wraping up your deal. In the future buy what you want and just bring it to your own mechanic first. Just a tip.
