I at one time sold cars for a living. I remember a salesman told me one time the following. If you get your customer to like you, you can take more of their money. Later I found what he said was VERY TRUE! I got a guy to like me so much I was able to sell him a Nissan car and put a $3362.14 pay voucher in my pocket. Two hours and WHAM! $3362.14 went into my pocket. Want me to post a picture of the pay voucher? Car buyers are like girl friends, the guy said. If they like you, You can stick it in much deeper and they will NOT complain about it. They even go home happy! Many of the car buyers that are happy with their car deals are the ones that got hosed DEEP and they don't even know it. That's why I tell car buyers to NEVER buy a car from a car dealer you like, nor should you buy a car from a sales person you like. If you do, you will put yourself in what I call the 'UCZ" The "Unsafe Comfort ZONE" If your warm fuzzy friend sold you a car, ask him or her to show you their pay voucher on YOUR car deal! I bet they will NOT show it to you! Cause they might have went DEEP on you. Funny part is you like them! SUCKER! I know a local Cadillac dealer that says in their commercials. Come join our family, Let's be friends, I say BULL. If you go to a place of business that you like, if they give you that warm fuzzy feeling, YOU HAVE YOUR GUARD DOWN. When I sold cars, I made the most or should I say I took the most from those who liked me. The ones who hated the world and everybody at the car dealer got the lowest price, Price is the only thing you should like or love. Many sales people are trained to get their customers to like them. That way it makes it much easier to clean out their account. It you like your sales person, you are less likely to be watching EVERYTHING they do and say.

Hey pennyless, What was the name of the training company that you had to pay $595 for their so called training package? Would love to get my hands on that. You have to understand that car dealers will do what ever makes money. Sell cars, steal frontend gross, kick the buyers trade and not tell them, Send false or should I say fraudulant credit applications to lenders just to get paper to hang. I could go on and on with their scams. You tell me what you think! Can we all say FRAUD? www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff52158.htm You are not informed of the scams in the auto industry because your local talk radio and local news papers ans local TV News stations will not bring this kind of info to the public. You ask why I bet! Because the media (TV stations, Talk Radio and newspapers) Do not want to upset the car dealers that are ripping you off! Advertising money is so much more important then informing consumers. You then have to ask Who is on your side when it comes to car dealers. Ripoffreport.com is! Some in the media will say that Car dealer scams are not news! Other types of scams are. Why not car dealer scams? Email these Talk radio station employees and ask them ALL why is it that you never hear them let their callers talk about car dealer Rip off's and see what they say. Post their responce on this Rip Off Report. Let's show the public why Talk radio stations refuse to help expose dirty car dealers and their Rip Off's. To all that read this, Put the below people to the test. Email them Post their replys on this Rip Off Report Talk radio KSTA www.ktsa.com Brent Boller [email protected] Trey grew [email protected] Jack Riccardi [email protected] Brad Messer [email protected] Ricci Ware [email protected] Chris Duel [email protected] Email their News director [email protected] Ask Howard Toole if he would get bent out of shape if his talk show hosts were to start chatting LIVE about car dealer Rip Offs and Scams. Maybe some of your local car dealers would pull their advertising money if this station did start exposing car dealer rip Off's. Email Howard Toole and ask him! [email protected] Also use these numbers and call up this radio NEWS station and try to prove me wrong. Call when they have one of their local show hosts on. Make sure that you try to get on LIVE and start chatting about car dealer Rip Off Reports and watch them drop your call like a Donkey turd. Main Line (210) 528-5500 Call-in Line: (210) 599-5555 Toll-Free: (800) 299-KTSA Advertising: (210) 528-5183 Next we have 590 KLBJ Contact these fine folks and ask why is it that they will not have a day that has only one topic of "Car dealer Rip Off's" and Auto dealer scams? Program Director: Mark Caesar [email protected] or 832-4051 Newsroom: [email protected] 832-4027 News Director: Todd Jeffries [email protected] Sales Manager: Brooke Gallagher [email protected] or 832-4014. Promotions Director: Macon Schoonmaker 908-4959 [email protected] Whitney Dodson 832-4078 [email protected] John Defee 908-4931 [email protected] Susan Brennan 908-4917 [email protected] Marcy Baird 908-4947 [email protected] Cathy Gretencord 832-4080 [email protected] The point I am trying to get accross, is that the car buying public is not being informed of current Rip Off's and car dealer scams because the general media does not want to bite the big $$$$ hands that feed them. Try to go to any BBB in your state and ask to read any complaints about a car dealer that they have complaints on! Even the BBB will not inform car buyer. Take some time and read the Rip Off Reports on what BS the car buyer has to deal with to get their trade in back or how much BS they have to deal with to get their down payment money back. Again don't try to BS me Mr car dealer! Hey Mr Honest Car salesman what can we call this one? Maybe "we forgot to pay off the car Buyer's TRADE! http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff89428.htm Car Buyer's trade in falls in a REPO HOLE! http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff89397.htm Hey Mr car dealer what can we call this one? Maybe "Forged my signature' http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff88651.htm Can we call this one "contracts of many colors Mr car salesman or maybe " new contract to sign? http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff88289.htm In many states we do NOT have anybody that will pass a 3 day cooling off period. In other words once you sign all documentation you are TOAST if you change your mind. Car dealers do not want you to slid to the next "Sled Show" down the street O I mean their competition. Car dealers playing with the car buyers Credit application after the buyer is long gone home. They try to make the car buyer look better in the bank's eyes so the car dealer is sure to get the buyer approved, even if the car dealer has to play the FRAUD GAME! I am sure you want proof, so go to the rip Off Report and see for yourself. You tell me what you think! Can we all say FRAUD? www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff52158.htm Car dealers telling car buyers that if they do not buy the extended warranty they will not get the lower interest rate. And Some car dealers will get the buyer to agree to a warranty during the signing in the "BOX" and then a few days later behind the car Buyer's back they never pay for the warranty they sold to the car buyer. They keep the money. www.badbusinessbureau.com/reports/ripoff84186.htm You my fellow Americans are not informed of the scams in the auto industry because your local talk radio, local news papers and local TV stations will not bring this to the public at all. If they did it would cost them BIG advertising money. Yes I am sure that many would want to believe that the BBB is on the consumer's side of the fence. I have one question for you all. Where does the BBB get their income from? Not the consumer, May they get it from the business that they are to be keeping a close eye on! To all that read this. Email all of the above email addresses and ask why is it that you never hear about car dealer Rip Off's on their radio station. Then post their replys on this Rip Off Report. Let's look at this as putting them all to the test! I will email these folks that I mentioned above and I will post their replys on this report for you all to read, So stay tuned to this Report because the "Stick" will be back very soon.
