problems buying a xlr
Anyone having problems buying a new XLR? I have been looking for one to buy at MSRP on the web. All the dealers around Houston list the ones they have but not what they will sell them for. Most of them want 5k to 10k over MSRP or more. This is a rip off!!!
Now I know this is new car and there a few that are not presold but to sell them over MSRP is a rip off.
I found one at "Stewart Cadillac" in Houston Texas on the net. I called them and asked what it was selling for, the salesman said MSRP. I asked him if he was sure it was MSRP and he said YES for sure. I asked him if it was a demo and he said no. I then asked him how many miles on it he said he would check and call me back. When he did he said it had 56 miles. I asked him if he took in trades and told him what I had to trade "it a 2003 Expedition Eddie Bauer fully loaded w/9771 miles". He said he would get with his Sales mrg. and call me back. When he did he said around 28k with out seeing it. I told him that was under trade in-price in the NADA book but if he thought it might go a little highter I would drive down there to see if we could make a deal. He said great. I drove 90 miles on my one day off a week to make the deal. When I got there he shows me the car but the SALES mrg. comes up and tells me he could NOT sell the car for MSRP it would be 6k to 10k more. I said OK but give me 7k-12k more for my trade he said no way...
Does Cadillac know that people are getting ripped off????
In FLA. after the hurricane Andrew people were trying to sell water for $5.00 a gal. and the State was going to put them in jail because that was price gouging. Is this any different?
I have called some other dealers but they are doing the same thing.."selling over MSRP"
Anyone know a dealer that tells the truth? At MSRP the dealers are making a great deal already...
I have never payed MSRP for any car or truck but I was willing to do it for this one but not more then that. :banghead
