So iam going to ask to be spoken to the manager on the phone before i go out there to make sure that all the number crunching is done correctly.
 
I am not picking on you. However, if your strategy to make sure you're not getting lowballed is to talk on the phone with the manager to make sure all is legit, I think you need to do a bit more learning (I didn't say research).
 
Talk is cheap. The only thing that matter is what is on paper and has a signature from both parties. Until then, nothing is set in stone.

I'm waiting for the story from the actual attempted transaction, complete with one of those 4 square sheets, the lost paperwork/license, the funny math, the 5 trips to the manager to check something...
 
The deal feels bad, even from a distance. Be very very wary. And double-check the VIN to make sure it's not a repo or salvage title or something.

Here's what is going to happen. They did not include destination in their price and they will need to add that back in. That will add another $650 approximately. Maybe they will take a loss from there or just decide that they need to add options on too.
 
Lowball FTW!

Fees that dealers tack on CPO car purchase by wachen

I am looking to buy a CPO car from a dealer. I would like to know what fees I should expect the dealer to add on?
 
document prep?
group advertising?
etc?
 
Some threads talk about this but they are in the context of buying a new car. Since I am going to buy CPO, I was wondering if there are differences in terms of dealer fees that I will get hit with.
 
Thanks

You need to speak directly with the dealer about this.
 
You will have a dealer fee and a cost of certification with a vehicle. Just ask what those 2 are they will quickly give you the information.

Let me get thei straight, in one post you talk about the monster the buyer has created and in the next post you talk about making $6K on a deal and want people to figure out the "trick".
 
Do you really have to wonder where the anamosity comes from???/

"...I got the car from Fitzmall..."
 
Just curious, did that price include an "ad fee"? Also, was your car one that was listed on their website or did you special order?

ad fee? I dont think so
It was listed on the website but thats not what i did to get it. I just emailed them asking if they would match a buyers order price i got and they said yes, and they had a car that matched what was on the buyers order except that it had an added spoiler.
