Suckers are truly born every minute.
BTW his financing was 14% interest for 72 months. payments $435 a month and thats not including $2500 a year insurance.
He traded in his 02 Geo Tracker (He says Chev, whatever. He says they should have high resale value since it does not have 4WD, yeah okay, LOL!) anyway he owed 14K, the dealer gave him $8K, and thats why his V-6 was so expensive.
Basically the poor guy eats once a day well so he says!

I had a deal worked out on paper for a 12,500 trade difference (my 04 IS300 for an 05 Touring Roadster) and took it to another dealer. Thier first offer was for 18,500 trade difference. That made the car cost 1200 OVER the MSRP. I ended up getting the Roadster OTD at another dealer for 34,100 with a 23000 trade on my Lex. Hey at least I got payoff.
The best part came the next day, when I drove my Z to the other dealer, the one asking another 1200 over sticker, and the manager swore up and down if I would take the car back that they would better the deal.

I paid less that invoice.

Yeah, that's only one of a laundry list of reasons never to trust a dealer. If you go into a dealership knowing less than the salesman or the finance manager you're going to take it in the a$$. Thank goodness my dad sold cars for like 20+ years and I have some insight into how it works.....it's borderline criminal how they rip some clueless people.....women especially.
