I started the every so annoying process of shopping for a new car over the weekend.
I despise the entire process.
I got told repeatedly yesterday that I could only get their best price that day. It was a rainy mother's day so they were more willing to give a great price. What a load of crap. If it is a fair price for both sides they will sell the car at that price every day of the week no matter the holiday or weather.
I also got several internet quotes and all include an outrageous $699 document prep fee. If they would just call it the $699 profit fee I would feel better because it would at least be honest. If it is costing them $699 to prepare the sale and post sale paper work they would have gone out of business the day they opened.
Everyone wanted to know what I wanted my payment to be. I don't negotiate on payment, I negotiate on price. I would not be looking at a model of car I didn't already know I could afford the payment for the loan term I desire.
Ugh.
