Man. I got screwed. Im sick about it. Learned some valuable lessons.
Started talking with a friend who works at Northside Chevy about trading my truck in (KBB was 7500, i owed just over 5). Took my truck up, he spoke with a salesperson and confirmed they would give me 8k trade in. Started shopping, a few weeks later, he talks me into a tundra they had sitting. He said they would bump up my trade if I paid sticker (27k). Went in the next day and signed in pen, an agreement for 9k trade-in and paying sticker price on car.
Now heres the fun part...See it coming yet?
Go back to finance...they have 5500 as trade in value, i point it out...he goes back to management, comes back with a line under the 5500, 3500...so the total would is 9k...math works for me great....we go through all the ELECTRONIC signatures....i get my keys and out the door.
A month later Im go to make a first payment and the total for the loan is alot more than what I knew we signed for. Going back at looking through the papers.... the 5500 had disappeared and only displayed 3500
Called me friend...he told me to come in...went in, talked to manager and what else would you expect from a car sales manager but slime...'no way we offered you 9k' pretty much laughed in my face
emailed up the chain of command but never got a response.
Small claims didnt work because my electronic signature was on the documents. I even had all the texts between myself and the employee. SICK
I will never purchase another vehicle without a body cam, voice recorder, and camera. joking not joking
