Yep, car dealers don’t make any money on the sale of cars anymore. The only money is in financing, extended warranties and service.
......................................................
I bought a bumper to bumper life time warranty in 2016 for my Toyota Highlander for $1,795 the warranty stays with the vehicle if you pass it on to one of your children. I’m giving it to my youngest daughter next month.
Sounded like a good deal to me.
>> 2017 Toyota RAV4
$3k ?
That’s at least a $15k car. And no VIN check?
A deal too good to be true. Unfortunate situation for the victims, but they must have known something wasn’t right.
Yup. You “buy down” the rate with extra warranties and “free” oil changes.
Toyota dealer told me that cash isn’t a bargaining tool any more, they would rather you finance with them.
____________________________________________
And he’s right. And not always to his advantage. I haven’t paid over 1.9% for financing in many years. All the while my investments earn more than that. So why should I pay cash?
Now. If a dealer is willing to discount the price provided you sign a 5 percent note; do so. Provided you pay off the note in full within 30 days.
There are a lot of naïve people out there. One’s who think “That couldn’t possibly happen to me!’. Think any thoughts or acts pf precaution in this type of case are racist. They exist because I have met many of them.
OMG.
Just read elsewhere this couple had 5 children.
How awful.
Whatcha talking about Willis.
Definitely.
Yes, here she is in a vid. Such a waste.
Rope, tree.
The couple thought they were buying a 2017 RAV4 for $3,000 how STUPID could they be OMG!!
