  • I can't understand how this happens at a dealer, unless they are slimeballs. Does no one check the vin? Did they buy it at auction?

    Anyway, scary stuff
  • Bryan Dealership is right here in our home town. Rumor has it, he's not the best place to buy. I looked at his new Subaru a couple years ago, he low-balled my trade, and added $2000 above MSRP to the price. And that was pre-covid, when the MSRP was still a bargaining price for subtracting from it to get the sale price.

    I'm not going to bad-rap that dealership any more than to say, I'd never buy a vehicle from either dealership he owns.

    Thx for clicky - I try it, but it never seems to exhibit as a clicky :(
