The online price is bait 🎣 Here's a dealer proving it on a $38k Kia #carbuying #dealershiptricks

save this for the F&I desk. three things: #1 - ask for the full out-the-door in writing (not the monthly payment) #2 - run it through DealershipTricks.com #3 - push back on every flagged fee if they won’t move, get up and leave. find a dealership that will treat you fairly!

$26,976 online. $32,567 out the door. where did the extra $5,591 come from? a $999 “value pack,” a $1,495 doc fee, an e-filing fee, a tag fee. none of it on the listing. what’s the most made-up fee a dealer ever charged you?

the price online is legally supposed to be the price you pay, every required fee included. the FTC said so back in march. so when the out-the-door comes back higher than the listing, that’s not a surprise fee, it’s illegal. #cartok #carbuying #dealershiptricks

the dealership that shows the real price loses. their number looks higher than the place down the street hiding fees, so you click the cheaper one. that’s why this keeps happening even though it’s illegal. it’s not a few bad apples, the system rewards it. ever shown up to the “cheaper” listing just to find out the final price isn’t exactly cheap? #cartok #carbuying #dealershiptricks

that gap between the price online and the final price? it’s not an accident. they bait you with a low number to get you in, then pile on fees they never showed until you’re sitting at the table. #cartok #carbuying #dealershiptricks

a car dealer admitted the online price is fake. his exact words: “catching eyeballs is the ultimate goal.” the low number just gets you on the lot, then the fees show up at signing. what’s the worst one they ever tried to slip past you? #cartok #carbuying #dealershiptricks
