Do People Know When Car Dealerships Have Hugh Discount Sales It Can Be A Ripoff?

I bought a car during a weekend only sale. 3k off the sales price. I use a credit card and they financed the rest. The amount I put down on credit card was the over amount they charged. I did not know it till I got home and did a kelly book check. Turns out the car was a manufacture mellon that was only 2 years old. It was nearly perfect but it had a air-condition leak that cased a hugh mold problem. They put the car on the lot with out dealer papers and say it was just traded in by an earlier customer. It still needed to be safe inspected and they would remove the stale smell at that time.
I was charged 22,000 dollars with interest on a Volkswagenn Passatt with only 52000 miles. They worked on it 2 times for the smell. The only way is to completetly remove all the interior carpet, seats, and cloth material. They disguised the smell with some spray which after one day returned so bad we had to have all the windows down just to breath. I ended bringing it back and paid 2 thousand dollars to get my old car back. I would have lost 8 thousand if i hadn’t. The kelly blue book is only 14k on a car in mint shape with same mileage. Also the car fact site showed the car had been in an accident and was sold in auction 6 months prior and no other sale.
The dealors use these mailings to force people to buy without knowing what is wrong. They say the car will sell with the next customer because of the 3k deal they offer with the mailing. Also the new electronics are soo bad they constantly are in the shop. Its a hugh scam!!!! The only way to buy one is to have a lap top computer that can get online at the dealorship at the time you look at the car. They move the cars to the next dealership so its not there after you have gone home to check the carfax.

What ripoff?
I always love how people claim they got “ripped off” by dealerships…but understand something:
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY THE CAR.
If you sign the paperwork, you’re agreeing to the price. If you were ripped off, it would be if you were forced into buying something you didn’t want.
If the price is high, shop elsewhere.
If you think it’s a scam, shop elsewhere.
But if you buy the car, the only one you can blame for your loss of money, is YOU.
Edit: Oh, get off your high horse. They don’t have 50 years experience of lying. And are you saying you have ZERO experience in buying a car? If so, you should have taken better steps to protect yourself.
Stop blaming people.
thats your fault
its your job to research
do you really expect dealers to be honest?
the first thing to do is one drive,look at the car and get a friend or someone who know a lot about cars to shop with you because car salesmen are liars. second look at all paper work before signing ask questions keep asking till they run out of answers as soon that happen time to leave and don’t let them make a extra deal so you can’t leave. third always do your homework on the car you like and look to see if the price is fair to you since the payments will be good and fair.
“I did not know it till I got home and did a kelly book check”
Good job on buying before researching.
They didn’t rip you off.
You ripped yourself off by not being an intelligent shopper.
Stop blaming other people for your failures.
You say you were forced to buy this car. What force was exerted upon you? You never have to purchase a car on the spot. Go home, sleep on it, and return with your mechanic. Once your mechanic has given the vehicle a clean bill of health, make a reasonable offer to the salesperson. If a car is discounted, there is a reason. Sales may be slow. That particular vehicle might be “cold.” It might be the wrong season (convertibles in winter). Or whatever. It sounds like you made a poor decision based on your own greed. You thought it was such a steal, you just had to have it before someone else got to it. For that reason alone, you decided to do the deal instantly. Call it an expensive lesson. It sounds like you met a great salesperson. Good luck next time around.
