Vehicle had a sticker price of $24,910.00. A rebate of $1,500.00 was advertised by the manufacturer and was reiterated by the salesman. On the contract $1500.00 was added to the price, the tax calculated, and then $1500.00 deducted at the end. I was therefore charged a tax on the price of the car, charged an additional tax on an additional $1500.00 before this $1500.00 was removed. The result is that I not only paid a tax on an extra $1500.00, but to add insult to injury, the rebate was never passed on.
To compound this situation, I was financed at a high interest rate, even with my excellent credit, when Chrysler, the manufacturer, was offering a much lower interest rate and this information was deliberately withheld fom me when I inquired.
This vehicle is now being financed for five years with an extra $1800+ at 8.25% interest. I have been to the dealership at least two times to resolve this matter and was only made to feel as if I am stupid.
Follow-up:
This gentleman has filed a Small Claims Court action against the dealer. We are waiting to learn the outcome.
