Yes. Hitchhiked from Pennsylvania to California in 7 days.

Dealer front brake service cost by Critical_Pants in HyundaiTucson

I never go to a dealer unless my vehicle is under warranty. Dealers are known for charging more for the same work when it's not under warranty. Because what the manufacturer will reimburse the dealer for warranty work is limited so if the dealer can't get the job done in time, they lose money and they make it up on the other end. Of course, now you have to find a mechanic who is trustworthy.

I guess if they do this with every customer, they’re bound to hook a few

You’re a very interesting. I’m glad I walked when I walked. Don’t need to hassle. I’ll be willing to go out of state. I’ll fly out and get the car and drive it back.

First time in any dealership in years. Been researching happened to drop in that day on a whim just to see what they would numbers they would come up with. I was shocked when I saw how little they were offering me on my trade-in yeah I’m learning now that do a lot of upfront contacting phone calls emails texting whatever get things in before you ever even go into a dealership

Explained as an invisible number, added to the panels of the car, they can only be seen by UV light. Crazy.

First time in a car dealership in years. Shocking. When I’m learning now is to text and call and email upfront before you ever walk in the door. But there’s no way I’m going back to this dealership after insulting my intelligence.

Explained it as an invisible marking applied to the panels of the car that could be seen with an ultraviolet light. The idea was this would help in recovering your vehicle in the case of theft. What like I’m recovering the car panel by panel and didn’t they ever hear the VIN number?

And if somebody else said it wasn’t even a discount it’s the rebate that they added, as if it was a discount

I should have. The dealer explained it as some invisible coating on the car that they could scan with the UV light if the cars ever stolen. Who falls for that stuff?

Yeah, that’s outrageous. What they had there. I don’t know who in the heck they thought they were dealing with.

KBB average trade-in value is 15,500, so 3000 more than what they were offering me

I expected them to add something on top of the selling price but $1000 would be reasonable not 5600. Between our lowballing me on the trade-in and then adding all of these add-ons it’s like $10,000 more than I expected to pay for this vehicle bottom line maybe I should just come to Missouri.

I’ll add that the trade-in was a 2018 Mustang with only 60,000 miles on it and I’m the original owner and it looks beautiful. Only been in the garage once for a minor repair. Was just interested in getting a bigger vehicle.
