Or you end up like me on Christmas Eve 2019 picking out the truck you want, sitting with the sales person for 3 hours even though I'm not haggling, and I offered to pay what they put on the sticker. I said, I want to be in and out in 30 minutes.
And now, here I am April 2, 2021. The vehicle is still untitled, unregistered, and basically a paperweight sitting in my driveway, because the sales guy screwed the paperwork up so badly, that the DMV cannot make heads nor tails of it. The bank is constantly hounding me for a title, I tell them to talk to the dealership, they say to talk to the DMV, and over a year later, I've been paying $800/mo for a car and insurance I cannot even use.
- gradys 6y agoSeems like you should sue?
- sliken 6y agoOr maybe not dangle commission in front of a sales shark with a unrealistic 30 minutes requirement for some rather complex paperwork.
- klipklop 6y agoWhy blame the guy trying to make the process easy for everyone? He gave the dealership a sweetheart deal and he still got screwed.
- sliken 6y agoIf you try to force 60 minutes of paperwork into 30 minutes corners get cut. Because that's highly unusual he ended up in some broken state where the dealer, dmv, and insurance are all in a weird state with no clear resolution. Guess blame is a strong word, but not too surprised. Sure time/hassle is worth money. Generally similar is best achieved with an email or fax. "I'm willing to buy exactly car foo with options bar for MSRP, please contact me when the paperwork is ready for sign. I won't sign if any attempted upselling happens when I arrive."
- matt-attack 6y agoI’ve never heard anything like this. Sorry to hear about it. Curious though, u you obviously drove it home the night you purchased it. What changed later?
- jermaustin1 6y agoI actually drove it off the lot that same day, and drove it for 17k miles during quarantine before they started enforcing registrations and inspections again. They let me drive it off after waiting for hours and all the banks closing before they could finish the paperwork. So I signed a few documents (some of which blank... a mistake I'll never make again), and drove from Texas where my family lives back to New York, where I live.
- w0m 6y agobought in texas and trying to get it fixed in NY. Ouch; I can feel the frustration.
