Trick or Treat? Scary Dealer Stories

posted in Car Buying |

It’s time for Halloween and there are thousands of kids (and adults) ready to put on scary masks, costumes and makeup, visit haunted houses and go from door to door, yelling, Trick or Treat. Kids love the sweet candy treats they get going from door to door and the scary tricks that hid behind corners in dark rooms filled with ghostly goblins, monsters and witches. And even adults like a good scare every now and then, but not when it comes to car buying.

The idea of buying a shiny new car can quickly go from treat to trick when things go badly at the dealership. Here’s a list of some of the scary things that can happen at the dealership.

Scary List of Auto Dealer Experiences:
1. I ended up with two car notes! Eeek. Talk about scary, but it happened. This scenario played itself out after the dealership supposedly bought the customer’s trade-in. Come to find out they had not. In this case, the customer ended up paying for a new car as well as the one she already had. Ouch! Read more of this story.

2. 56-year-old woman tackled by salesman. Are you kidding me?! It’s true according to a posting on My Dealer Stories. Apparently, the dealership couldn’t figure out whether they wanted to take the customer’s cash or not so when she got up to leave the salesman tackled her. Now that’s scary!

3. Car dealership steals customer’s vehicle. If you haven’t seen this story floating around you absolutely have to check it out. Can you imagine going to bed with your car in your driveway then getting up and finding it gone, by the very people that sold it to you in the first place?! Watch the video:
