It looks like something is going on in the sales industry.Maybe they are not making enough profit.
It's not just this deal.My daughter is expecting end May and was looking to trade her Audi TT on a 4door car for more practicality.We had a deal at Lindsay Saker on a new Polo GTI done the Saturday,but when we went to fetch the car it was mysteriously 15000 more.Apparently they made a mistake and on principle we dropped the sale.
Following was a new Volvo v40.New vehicle R350000.00 inclusive of extra's and our trade R195000.Difference R155000.Saturday offer.
Monday an official quote gives us a difference of R178000 to pay.What's going on.
Looks like the dealers should rather be closed on Saturdays. :thumbdo:

They then take your OTP, add a few R's to it and applies for finance for the higher amount (call it + R15k). Next call you get is from the F&I to tell you congrats, your finance is approved, your installment is R10k per month. They then hope you are so excited about getting your new car that you would just sign contract (because your finance is approved and it is only R150pm more).
If you call them out on the OTP that you signed they just go :nonono: Sorry we didnt sign it, its null and void. We can only do the deal at the new price...
Sometimes I think car salesman use the job as a stepping stone to get to government...
**this is obviously not the case for all dealers**
Bevan said:Always check your OTP against your contract. If there are any changes made regarding your trade in's value or additional extras added then a new OTP has to be generated and sent to you. You should check your OTP against your contract before you commit. If there is anything that you are not happy with, and you cannot resolve it at the dealer then walk away!
