I'm sure they are out there (I see them every day), but who's willing to admit it?

re: were you interested in Chevy HHR by chintan32

A reporter from a national publication is looking to talk to anyone who has considered buying a Chevrolet HHR in the last several weeks but ultimately decided against it. The reporter is especially interested in anyone who decided that there were so many HHRs now on the road that it’s lost some of its novelty. Please contact ctalatiedmunds.com by December 25 and provide a daytime number that the reporter can contact you back at.

My wife and I were in the market for a newer minivan. We loved our old '98 Chrysler T&C SX, but wanted one with Stow & Go seats and less miles. I spent a couple nights going through Edmund's "tutorial" on buying a used car. After an exhaustive search for the type of van we wanted, we found an '05 T&C Touring that was in our price range, and within a reasonable distance from us. This happened to be at a Chrysler dealership, Bay Chryser Jeep in Benzonia, Michigan. I have to say, the tips and information provided by Edmund's was EXTREMELY helpful, and we could tell that we were making the salesman uncomfortable with the things we were requesting. He went to get his sales manager, to see if he could soften us. When that didn't work, they more or less gave in to what we wanted in the first place. They wanted to finance it for us, and I would not go for that. I told them that I would get financing from my local bank, which was 140 miles away, and I would get back with them.
We got our financing, got the insurance binder, and they decided to deliver the van to us, rather than wait for the upcoming weekend. My banker called them for the VIN, my insurance company called them to get the VIN and their FAX number so they could FAX the binder to them before they set out.
I got a call four hours later from the salesman, telling me that the sales manager sold it to someone else. He seemed very uncomfortable speaking to me, and then had the nerve to ask if we wanted to deal on any of the other vehicles they had in stock! I declined, and told them that I had learned enough of their dealership and the practices they do to know I do not want to deal with them, nor would I recommend them to anyone else!
While we were very disappointed in not getting that van, we found one two months later at our local Cheverolet dealership that was almost identical. We ended up saving around $1,500 using Edmund's tips.
The information that Edmund's provided was helpful, and very necessary in today's car market. By following their advice, I was able to save money, and negotiate properly for my vehicle. In the process, I learned another valuable lesson in ethics, and dealing with car salepeople!
