| - I should have known better than to come here. My sister bought her car here and it just seemed sketchy.
However I really want a Mini Cooper S so we've been looking around and they happened to have one. It was listed at $13,788, so in we go.
We show up, tell them what car we want to look at. They ask a bunch of questions, such as whether we wanted to finance it or buy it outright. We clearly said buy it outright.
We test drive it, it's pretty awesome. How couldn't it be? It's a Mini Cooper.
So we go inside to talk about it, the sales guy comes back and says he knows we don't want to finance it but here's three financing options they came up with. Seriously? To make it even more ridiculous, they've got the car costing around $16,000 and basically wanted us to finance it at about $20,000 after who knows what fees.
We pointed out the internet price, I don't even remember the strange response, it was something about how that was for people like us who they want to come up from Tucson and buy cars. Like we were doing? Who knows. So we make an offer which was basically the internet price after taxes and fees (instead of before).
They pretend to go over it for awhile. Then the sales manager (I think that's who it was, different person) comes back with a bunch of random numbers written with magic marker on a piece of paper explaining I have no idea what. Something about business, his profit, what it costs to list that car on the internet (supposedly $500), more seemingly not connected phrases.
Magic marker? Real professional. If you don't want to accept our offer fine. Say that, don't insult us by writing down strange numbers on odd scraps of paper in the hopes that it looks like you're negotiating. And seriously, listen to what people are saying to you when they show up.
