Are Car Dealers Often Sneaky?

Asked by Guru9T7R1V Apr 02, 2021 at 04:43 AM about the 2013 Volkswagen Golf TDI

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I am still shocked when a dealer does something like
Ben Amin did with a car I had earmarked:
VIN: WVWDM7AJ3DW136079
Vehicle: 2013 Volkswagen Golf TDI
Stock Number: N/A
Listed Price: $12,995
CarGurus Instant Market Value: N/A
Is From Shippable Listing: No
View Listing on CarGurus
Overnight he raised the quote on this salvaged car
over $3000 and when I asked him why, he praised the
"free market" system! Flabbergasting!!!!! So, please,
Buyer beware...The characterization of the typical car
dealer being Sneaky and Unscrupulous is well-
founded!!!

Most used car dealers are total sleaze buckets. A lot of new car dealers are too. Walk away!

During Pandemic times, dealers have been using the supply and demand issue as a means to gouge customers. Plus we all have money from the IRS.
