Thrifty Car Sales swindlers and thieves Austin, Texas
This dealership used high pressure and predatory sales tactics to sell me a car at $6000 above its Blue Book value, and then further pressured me into financing a car loan at 19.99% APR!
I ended up paying $20,000 for an $8,500 2001 Toyota Echo.
If you're thinking of buying a car, stay away from Thrifty Car Sales. They are con artists, and will swindle you to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.

You paid 20k for a car that would probably sell for a couple grand in today's market. From the sounds of your interest rate, I'm guessing you have poor credit, and didn't qualify for a good car or good loan. I feel your pain, but you are a grown up & should've been more assertive in this transaction. There's no scam. You were an easy mark, period. Next time, save a few thousand dollars & pay cash. You'll have the power & you won't have $500 payments for the next 5 or 6 years.

Are you a human or a doormat? At any time in the sales process you could have decided to NOT accept this deal. They didn't "pressure" you...you simply went along with it!
There's a big problem here. Why do you think you need to play doormat? Who has the power here? You don't need them, they need you! Without the customer (you) they don't sell cars! Do you fully understand that? They aren't the only dealership around. Whenever a merchant treats you like sh--, then YOU WALK OUT!!!!

Caveat Emptor....Let the buyer beware. Common sense seems to be a rare attribute these days.
