Replying to: audia8q (Dec 19, 2005 4:21 pm) >dealer in our market that manages to get on the legal page of automotive news a few times a year and they are usually featured on the local news during slow news times to show how bad dealers can be.....meanwhile they maintain the status of being the highest volume single point in the state   We had a dealer near the city here that used a Superman outfit to do his ads. He was a tired old sports player; that impressed some buyers around the city.   He kept getting into the legal and news sections for his treatment of customers. He didn't last long-about a year. One day all the cars were gone off the front lot.   He had another store near Cincinnati where he had someone else do the Superman ads. Too funny.

#4250 of 4253 Another number would be interesting... by bolivar Dec 19, 2005 (7:38 pm)
This original RAV4 at $32,000/$23,000/$21,000 with 17/45/1,100 miles that became a $17,000 trade-in with $700 damage....   The dealer says the RAV4 is now sold.   What did he turn it for?
#4252 of 4253 Re: Extended warranty [allfiredup] by ustazzaf Dec 19, 2005 (9:45 pm)
Replying to: allfiredup (Dec 14, 2005 9:36 am) I have never bought a vehicle without getting an extended warranty. Maybe I pick junkers, but the only 2 I have not used the warranty with were my Toyotas. I drive cross country regularly, and the piece of mind I get having the warranty is well worth the $20 bucks a month I pay for it. I just doubled the value of my Astro warranty this summer. Spent about $1200 for the warranty, and got $2K out of it. The important thing is to make sure you get the best price. I spent 2K on a warranty for my current truck, but cancelled and got the exact warranty for $800 from a dealer in Ma. If I drive the truck for 5 years and never use the warranty, I will have spent about $14 per month for security. Well worth the cost.

In the interest of maintaining an atmosphere consistent with the season, we're going to give this particular topic a break.   Sit around the fire, have some egg nog with family and friends, and forget about any potential tricks for awhile. I've got a lovely concoction of Crown and Butterscotch if you want to drop by   Merry, Merry, one and all!
