Ok. So this last week i have come across 2 really good examples of a dealer absolutly raping the shit out of clueless customers. So thought it would be fun and educational if we compiled a thread about these stories.

Story 1: training a temp to look after my site whilst i get my knee surgery. He can be called bob for the purpose of this story. Bob is fairly clueless about cars but keeps raving on about a VF commodore ssv redline he just bought for 52k 2 months. Story goes Bob went too one holden dealer and asked for a price for said car. The dealer came back with a price of 56k. So Bob goes to a different dealer and asks him to beat the above price for the same car. The dealer took Bob for a test drive in what Bob thought was a VF edition commodore. The dealer said he could so it for 52k as it is a demo model. Bob buys the car and ring the other dealer to say he managed to get one for 52k to which the other dealer is genuinly surprised. Anyway fast forward 2 months and i am down at the work shop and ask Bob to show me his car. He takes me to a series 2 commodore ssv redline but a VE model. Im fairly confused at this point. Bob does not believe me that its not a VF as he assumed that the redline had different styling haha. Pop the bonnet and show him the build date on the vin which is may 2012. Bob goes quiet and does a dissapearing act about 5 mins later. So basically the dealer took advantahe of the fact that Bob has no fucking idea and is a moron and managed to charge him 52k for a car that is worth 43k. I felt so bad i couldnt even laugh, which is strange for me


Story 2: this is one of those "My mates, younger brothers best mates stories". Anyway said kid goes into a dealership by himself too look at an xr5. At this stage the car is out of his budget and he just want to take a look. Next minute the salesman asks if he wanted to go for a drive. Obciously the kid says yes and the dealer whips out some forms and tells the kid he has to sign them to tes drive the car. The kid signs the forms and goes on a test drive. Little does he know he just purchased The car. Upset and confused about what just happened he goes home and tells his dad. Dad rings the dealership and pretty much gets told "to bad" he signed for the purchase of the car subject to finance". They ended up buying the car.

Does anyone have anymore stories about sneaky salesmen?
