Sorry for making another thread but I am super stressed
NEED YOU GUYS TO TELL ME IF I SHOULD GO FORWARD WITH PURCHASE OR GET A REFUND ASAP. Bought a few days ago, I still have not picked up the car yet because I'm waiting for the wire transfer to clear. (Should be within the next day or two)
Final negotiated price was $23,650 Canadian ($18,475.98 USD), including a free alignment, tank of gas, and oil change......it's ecoboost premium with the works, 12" digital dash, traffic safety features, 20-inch rims
(Car does have an accident on it, but after having a bodyshop check it out, they said that it was a passenger side sideswipe and is purely cosmetic. Nothing mechanical underneath was replaced.)
Anyways, in the past few days, I've dug up some stuff about the car that I really dont like.
First, the mileage is inaccurately advertised on cargurus and autotrader. Instead of having 52,000KM (32K miles), it has 61,000KM (38K miles)
Second, it has some sort of custom exhaust which is loud but not the good type of loud. It likes to drone...... The guys here tell me that " It’s probably stock exhaust with resonator delete and added an X pipe'
Tried going back with the general manager to re-negotiate today. He refused to lower the price or add any incentives. He said he will have the shop "take a look" at the exhaust
He offered that I either buy the car at the agreed upon price, or take a full refund. (he knows I like the car)....... Should I get a full refund guys? Do you think he will be willing to negotiate if I call his bluff and actually ask for a refund?
UPDATE
Went to pick up my refund cheque yesterday, and noticed it was short $80 (some kind of dealership documentation fee), even though the general manager had promised that he would give me a FULL refund (including the fee specifically)
Got enraged, and went into the GM's office and asked him about it and he told me "well our policy is that we don't refund that fee." ..... When I pressed him harder, and reminded him that he had literally given me his promise, he told me to get out of his office.
So I did the only thing I thought of.....There were about 80 people in the dealership total, from customers to salespeople and I yelled out at FULL VOLUME about how the manager is not honouring his word and I was lied to. I told everybody to not buy a car there. (Went on for a good 5minutes) ......They quickly escorted me out the building and threatened to call police.
After a bit, the GM came out to see me and told me he would fix the situation and give me my $80, but told me that I had to yell out again, saying that he was an honourable man and fixed my problem.....I told him I would only do that if I had the check in my hand.
So finally, they gave me a second $80 cheque and I reluctantly screamed out the the GM fixed my problem and was a good man.
Was funny because about 40% of all the customers left the dealership after my speech.
