Car salesman lied to me about how much HP my car has
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 26th, 2018 1:31 PM Author: Rose Big Public Bath Ape I got a 2017 Dodge Challenger T/A.
Salesman told me it was 485 HP. I first looked at a car that was like 660 HP but it was too expensive.
When I went to do financing, the financing guy asked me whether I got "the 660 or the 485?" and I said 485 and he was all, "Nice!"
So I'm reading the Dodge forums the other day about my Challenger and I saw the 6.4L engine has 485 HP, but the 5.7L has 375 HP.
So I open my hood to look at the engine and its the 5.7L. I said, "Motherfucker!"
What should I do, bros? I really don't need 485 HP. The car is fast enough, but I would like to cop some leather seats.
I'm thinking about bluffing, demanding they mod it with the 6.4L engine and then settle for a leather seat upgrade. |

Maybe if you go back and legally threaten the dealership, the manager can do something for you. Let him know you're the general counsel for 4 corporations and maybe that'll get him shaking in his boots. |

Date: February 26th, 2018 6:11 PM Author: arousing stead I don't get this. When I bought a used car the first thing I did was pop the hood, confirm the engine, etc. I knew how much hp each engine has. I mean, sorry, but this is why you do your research. By the way, my salesman had no idea what the car was and what it had and kept calling it an "Overlander". He had no idea it had the tech package with adaptive cruise control or anything like that. Because of that they massively underpriced it.
At any rate, the 5.7L is fast and if you're happy with that then you're fine. |

Date: February 26th, 2018 6:26 PM Author: arousing stead Yeah, I guess the only question was the price, but how the hell do you walk into a car dealership without knowing the prices for each engine and then checking the engine? I mean, for all of these cars you can't price it appropriately without knowing that info.
Also, they look totally different.

|
Date: February 26th, 2018 7:08 PM Author: arousing stead How the fuck could you walk into a dealership to buy that car without knowing something as basic as that? Before you walk into a dealership you should thoroughly research the car you're buying, the various options, the prices for each, etc. Preferably, you should walk in with an internet ad with the price which you have compared to other prices with an exact feature set. You then take the car for a test drive and pop the hood and confirm that what you expect is present. This is how you avoid your current situation.

I sent that five days ago. So today I sent her an email that said, "As my customer service representative I expected some sort of follow up. Did you ask the salesman what happened? Is this a pattern of conduct or a one time mistake? How do you plan to remedy this?"
She almost immediately replied she escalated it to management and then I got a voicemail from the sketchy salesman.

Date: March 1st, 2018 4:27 PM Author: Clear Bateful Coldplay Fan Trailer Park lol. good luck. those clip-on tie wearing fucks say whatever they can to get the cars out the door.
a while back i bought a used car that was pretty sweet all things considered. when i went to test drive it, one of the tires was low, so they filled it up. I asked him what was up with the tire after I was done driving it. He said that there was a small nail in it and they patched it up. No problem.
Only other issue was that the electronic tilt on the steering column was acting up, and I'm a tallmo, so I needed it to be able to provide max room. If they'd take care of it, we had a deal. No problem, he said. Their service dude would swap it out, so I made an appointment to bring it back next week.
Turns out that the tire deflation was the result of a hairline crack in the rim, there never was a nail. And the service guy was a separate but related business unit and he wouldn't just swap it out because the sales guy had to pay him for the part/work. Sales guys then says he was having trouble locating a used part. Ok, fair, but that's ultimately not my issue. Said he wasn't going to pay for a new one. |
