Yeah, I was trying to deal with mega dealer in my town and ended up traveling 20 miles and bought a truck with a higher MSRP and more options for around $1200 less.
I wouldn't have even traded except the fact the GM upped their warranty to 100,000 miles, sent me a deal for an additional $1000 off any new Chevrolet truck and then threw in the 0% financing.
I tried for about 2 days to buy a truck in my hometown, but in the end I couldn't get them to the price I wanted.
I work off of purchase price and trade in for my vehicle. Most car salesmen and their managers are crooked as an acre of snakes and they will screw you with an ink pen if your not careful. I'm one of those jerks who sits across the desk from them with my laptop running scenarios with different figures. I think they were glad to see me go.
I still wouldn't have traded again so quick, but this vehicle is a work vehicle and I get reimbursed every month to drive my own truck plus my fuel is paid for. So it doesn't come out of my pocket, it's just the more I spend on a vehicle, the less of that check I can put in the bank each month.
But for a little difference, I moved from a extended cab to a crew and went from a standard warranty to the new 100,000 mile warranty.
Oh and on a truck I was test driving, I stomped on it and the new Eaton rear
locker works..
left two black marks
