[QUOTE="GorillaG, post: 4263670, member: 49083"] I grew up in the car business. It amazes me that they still run the same scams they did 50 years ago. Anything you buy rarely, like cars, flooring, replacement windows, siding, etc. etc. You will generally get scammed on. These salesman and managers do this all day every day year after year and are gonna be there all day anyway. That's why negotiations take forever, it's just to wear you down. If they can't screw you over then they don't want your business. Before my dad opened his own car lot he worked for 20 years as a service manager. He said the dealerships always screw you over there too. He would tell his employers if they treated customers right they would get their business forever but they don't care about that, they just wanna screw you TODAY as much as possible. Doc fees are a complete and total scam. They didn't have em for decades and now you can't even buy a car from a used car lot without them running that scam. Their "doc overhead" is the few minutes it takes to do your paperwork, period. Most of that waiting time its BS to just to make you think their going something for the exorbitant fee their tacking on. You're gonna get hosed just accept it. They really love the customers that think their too slick to get hosed, they get hosed the worse. It amazes me it's 2024 and theirs no consumer laws that protect the public from these vultures but it's true. [/QUOTE]
