I remember 3 years ago my girlfriend and I went to Superior Nissan of Puente Hills (one of the largest in CA) to purchase a new Murano and nearly got conned; before visiting the dealer we called and got a quote that we wanted, but as soon as we arrived the sales rep refused to honor the quote and asked their general manager to talk to us. The general manager was extremely amicable and agreed to the price that was quoted previously, however when we were about the sign the contract I noticed that they insidiously added about $1500 to the final out-the-door price. Fortunately I worked as a car sales rep before and I had my calculator with me, otherwise my girlfriend would definitely pay that bloated price without knowing it. The worst part is, when we decided to leave (without purchasing the car because the general manager insisted that it's the "correct price") they wouldn't let us keep nor destroy the documents which has a lot of our confidential/financial information!.

I bought a brand new motorcycle from a dealer on eBay and they failed to include their standard "docking" fee of $500. I had them remove it from the sales invoice and they honored it since it wasn't listed in the auction.]]>Mar 24th 2008 4:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/24/internet-ftw-bmw-buyer-getting-m3-thanks-to-pressure-from-web/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/24/internet-ftw-bmw-buyer-getting-m3-thanks-to-pressure-from-web/
Case in point:

Google "BMW Lincoln" - After only 2 days, the original post by Ken is ALREADY the THIRD unique result. By tomorrow it will be Goggle bombed to number 1.

Result:

Unless the dealer coughs up eleventy-billion dollars in SEO, this goes down on its permanent record...
Welcome to the 21st century, boys...
