What the car dealer wrote to me....

He low-balled me on my trade-in value and I asked him about it.....I also asked him if 7.5% was the best he could do for financing....This is what he wrote....(BTW, I did inform him my credit score was 739)

1. Kelly Blue Book DOES NOT Buy nor Sell cars, and like me, HAS NOT SEEN your car. Furthermore, the KBB that I pulled before getting an appraiser's "sight unseen" estimate, shows $1605 in Fair/$2210 in Good and $2575 in Excellent condition(s). KBB is a guide for YOU, but not for any dealer. Our final appraisal will be based on actually seeing a vehicle and determining its market value in light of actual market conditions.

2. There's nothing that says you have to finance through me! Like the car, neither my Business Manager nor his lenders has seen your credit. That's why I included an estimate using SECU. 7.5% is far from being VERY high; but then again, I did tell you that those rates are nothing more than a GUESS. In any instance, I find it hard to believe that the $6 difference between 7.5% and 6.5% actually matters to most people, since you're only looking at worst case guesstimates.

You keep shopping, and when/if you're ready to do something concrete, we can see what's available for you.

Re: What the car dealer wrote to me....

Wow, where's the customer service!?! I would write back:

"Thank you for helping me decide to give my business to another car dealership. With your wonderful customer service skills, I wish you the best of luck in all of your sales endeavourers."

AZZ!

Re: What the car dealer wrote to me....

I think that's rude and I would certainly take my business elsewhere.

Re: What the car dealer wrote to me....

can i go slap him for you?!

what a rude s. o. b.!!!

take your money elsewhere

Re: What the car dealer wrote to me....

while what he said regarding not seeing your car or running your credit yet,
those estimates were fair..


BUT, HE WAS RUDE AND VULGAR AND BASICALLY A HUGE A Z Z

Re: What the car dealer wrote to me....

Dear Mr. Car Dealer:

I am the customer, the one with the money, the one that pays your commission that feeds you and your family. There are so many other options for me in the marketplace and I have no problem taking my business elsewhere, where I'm sure somebody will give me exactly what I want-a fair price and a fair deal. Sorry that I will not take your more than generous offer to screw me out of my hard earned money..albeit $6.

You have taught me a valuable lesson. There are people that are good and what they do and people who are not. May I suggest a line of work that doesn't involve the public?

Thank you for taking the time out of your miserable existence to lead me to another path.

Sincerely,

Taking my money and running.

Re: What the car dealer wrote to me....

What dealership is it? At myold job we did the dealers websites, just curious.

Re: What the car dealer wrote to me....

I would forward that letter to his supervisor, and let them know you'll be taking your business elsewhere, what a jerk that guy was to write you all this nonsense

Re: What the car dealer wrote to me....

Wow!

It appears to me that ....He is not looking to get the "Employee of the month" award.

A bit rude to me
