Benefits of Using Auto Deal Advisor for Car Advice

For over 80 years, AutoDealAdvisor has observed dealers taking advantage of car buyers. We know (we think!) all of the tricks and secrets. AutoDealAdvisor has watched dealers profit margins shrink, forcing dealers to squeeze each customer for as much profit as possible. We observed the rise of items added to the car (by the dealer) to grossly increase profits, such as rustproofing, paint sealant and fabric guard ... all of which, by the way, AutoDealAdvisor advises against. We many times noticed "Mr. And Mrs. Mature," having negotiated a purchase, switched from a purchase to a lease, having their valuable trade-in absorbed in the deal, and ending up paying $8, 000.00-$10,000.00 more than necessary. Mr. And Mrs. Mature's real shock comes when, at the end of the much-touted lease, they have nothing. Many personnel were actually fired for refusing to put customers thru the "MouseTrap" that attempted to convert clients to a lease.

AutoDealAdvisor has witnessed a dealer, who codes his used-car prices, rather than clearly displaying an asking price; sell a car that is advertised in the local paper for $4,988.00 for $13,995.00! This dealer also undervalued the trade and netted a profit of over $12,000.00--the salesman's commission beyond the entire price the car was actually advertised for! This salesman obtained the "Silver Spoon Award" for life!

AutoDealAdvisor has also heard older customers referred to a "Grapes--" ripe for the picking and "Baby Seals--" waiting to be clubbed!

When automobile sales decreased after 9/11, our dealer told us that it was not important whether we sold 150 or 200 cars a month—merely to squeeze more money out of each customer!

We defected and sued. Some of the funds from that suit are supporting this website. AutoDealAdvisor is using that money, as well as inside knowledge, to assure that every customer is treated fairly and with respect.
