What does your bill of sale/sales contract list?

Sounds like you paid for a bunch of add ons unknowingly. Whether or not that's on you or if the dealer was shady is tbd

I had a dealer try to pull this on me at one point. They were sitting on a last model year car. They listed it for $8k off, so it was $29k.

I went in and drove it. They started trying to convince me to take a bath on my trade. They wanted me to eat $3k.

So they bring me the paperwork to show me the total cost of the car. They wanted me to pay $42k.

Now $29+3 is $32. Tax is around $1800, so even rounding up it should have been $34k.

I asked to see the contract and didn’t make it past the second line before I saw they were tacking on shit.

I started arguing with them about it pointing out shit they were trying to force me to buy and the sales manager ripped the contract out of my hands and went “well it sounds like we’re too far apart on this.”

Haven’t patronized that dealership since.
