Replying to: vangiebx (Jul 15, 2009 8:19 am) back in the days before the internet and a 1000 programs the standard close was that you would tell a customer you will sell him the car for invoice including rebates. If it was a $1000 rebate then you automaticly had a $1000 deal because you would add $1000 back to the price, tax it, then subtract the $1000 again. Really not a deceptive practice, just an easy way to close a deal. You were doing exactly what you promised. Buying the car for invoice including rebates. That was back in the days when you negotiated from list down. Does not apply any more now that we negotiate from invoice down.

Replying to: vangiebx (Jul 15, 2009 2:22 pm) So how are you saving by not taking the rebate? |

Replying to: vangiebx (Jul 15, 2009 2:22 pm) $16995 plus tax minus rebate. However you put it you save $1500 off the total price. |

I purchased a 2009 Chevrolet Traverse in April of 2009. This weekend I noticed the paint is starting to chip off in spots and has large circular blimishes in others. I took it back to the dealership today and they want to repaint the hood and buff out the other blemishes. I don't feel this is a fair resolution to this problem. Should they not have to a least repaint the whole car and if they do is that not going to devalue my car. What I would really like is a new car. Am I wrong for thinking a 2 month old car should not be having this problem and to expect it to look like a new car. I just need some advice. I can I say I wnated to buy american but am thinking I should have gone with the Honda Pilot.

Replying to: mej1965 (Jul 15, 2009 5:21 pm) Cars dont just develop blemishes they are there or they are not. A proper paint correction will make it look fine. You have a used car and the dealer will only take it back as a used car..... just the facts. |

Replying to: jb_turner (Jul 15, 2009 6:38 pm) Not if it can be lemon'ed.  Then the car company takes it back and refund the sales price minus a small charge for miles driven.  mej1965, check your lemon state laws, and make sure from now on you document everything (photos of car, interaction with dealer/car company). |
