Di** Hannah Dealership
 
So here is the story, I'm currently in the market for a new car, I am planning to buy a BRZ in about 3-4 months ( want to save up some more money to give a bigger down payment). After hearing about the Di** Hanna dealership on the radio and doing a quick Google search I saw that they have a 4.8 review. I decided to pay them a visit today, and here is what I saw, they add a "regional Market Adjustment". Didn't bother asking the sales person about it as I already knew what she gonna say.
So what are your thoughts about this? Should I look for a different dealer or just suck it up and deal with this one? or is this normal and all dealers do this to their BRZ prices.
Also is this blacklist worthy? Has anyone bought a BRZ from them?
Their webpage also shows a different price for the cars, I would post the links but the links gets messed up because of the word di**.

just get a price quote from different dealership and bring it to the your dealership. 90% of the time they will match or beat the other dealership price. keep in mind that new brz limiteds are going to $26k before tax and fees.

ShootinPutin 06-06-2014 01:02 AM

Thanks will do so. I did give CARR Subaru a call right after and they gave me a standard MSRP price. And that the 2015 model thats going to be $26k right?

Crazy how much the markup is on that vehicle. You would've thought it would be a bit lower than that..

Jmonty 06-06-2014 01:17 AM

They are crazy, shop around

Tromatic 06-06-2014 01:29 AM

Must suck to be **** Hannah and have your named bleeped because somebody might be offended.
ETA: That's a real **** move!
ETA again: I went to Wentworth in PDX just to look at a BRZ interior. The sales dudes couldn't be bothered to give me a hand. Could be that Subuaru dealers who are not even named "****" are ****s as well.
ETA yet again: URL's too? THAT is fucked up.

Ill do just that. Probably going to visit CARR Subaru this Saturday and see how things go there. Also not sure if its a dealer thing but it seems as if none of the sales representatives know about the new 2015 models. Every time i would say that the new BRZ will be for sale this July they would say "oh that's good to hear, i didn't know that", both **** Hanna and CARR sales representatives said that.

Yes, although their internet price shows lower than MSRP price on those exact vehicles, maybe they didn't change the piece of paper?

Sent you a PM. But definitely give Ken Eby at CARR Subaru a ring. He's super low pressure, will give you a great deal, and doesn't play games.

I second that

gily25 06-06-2014 11:03 AM

It's to get suckers who don't negotiate the car to pay more...easy mark-up for them and they can offer more for trades that way.

DoomsdayJesus 06-06-2014 01:28 PM

GET AN INTERNET QUOTE. I'm certain you must belong to some sort of bank or organization that offers internet car buying. I used USAA and Costco for my last two buys, and I end up getting cars at a fart over invoice. And then I pitted two dealerships against each other for the value they were going to give me on my trade-in.

I've never used them but it looks like car max does the same thing. Never walk into a dealer without an internet guaranteed price from a car buying service, the old dealership model is dead forever to me.

I second this. Especially if you plan to trade your old car in for a purchase. KBB is your best friend as someone here earlier said.

My car was quoted for around $5,000 while the dealer wanted around $1500.

HUGE loss on their part. Lost my business.

Lots of ****s in this fread.

gramicci101 06-06-2014 01:53 PM

So I can't say ****, but I can say fuck.

Huh.

When I was looking at a Hyundai Veloster, the dealer was tacking on pinstripes and a Hyundai Owners' Club membership, for about a 2500 markup. I told them I didn't want either, but they said that it was automatically included with the vehicle. Note that I have a BRZ instead of a Veloster now.

Dealerships around me were doing it when I was shopping. Penis Hannah isn't the only dealership available, for a $5k markup you could fly to another state to buy one under sticker, drive it back and wave $5k in their faces and STILL come out cheaper than if you bought that car.

Also: The blacklist is more for shady dealings, since they're up front about the markup it isn't blacklist worthy. Yet. Seems like the dealers that would throw this kind of markup on would try something during the purchasing process to squeeze you for more.

King Tut 06-06-2014 02:14 PM

The fact is this dealers use this technique of a "Regional Marketing Adjustment" to tack on to the price for a buyer that doesn't care what the price of the car is. The type that just goes to a dealership to see if they can trade in their current car X and leave in car Y with a similar car payment. All they see is car payment and all the car dealerships sees is dollar signs. Either find a good salesman that understands you are an intelligent buyer, or find a dealership that respects intelligent buyers.

I was at Capitol Subaru in Salem/Keiser on Memorial Day and they had a 2014 limited manual in CBS (black) for 25.5k. I think if you have patience you can get a great deal since the '15's are around the corner. The saleman also had no idea when the 15's come out either. I took pictures of the sales tag as leverage when I am ready to buy. Good luck!

ashtray 06-09-2014 01:52 PM

Try adding a "Regional Market Price Adjustment" to your trade in. :)

"Oh, I know my car sells for $5k at auction, but I want $8k for it bc there's a $3k regional market adjustment. Oh, you don't pay those? Well guess what? Neither do I!"

(seriously, if you decide the BRZ is the car you want, you can buy one over the Internet from 5 States away and have it delivered to your front door for less than the cost of MSRP. No reason to ever pay over MSRP at this point.)

I am a Portland resident and tried to get a vehicle from D-Hannah last year. They don't negotiation, they will stick with their ridiculous price and they will "offer" you tires for life (if you are planning to stick with your stock rims for life that is).

So then I decided to go with Heuberger Subaru to get my BRZ instead. Got it shipped, at least 6k under invoice, happy customer!

tl;dr - Don't go with D-Hannah, I would buy out of state for a cheaper price.

I third going with Ken Eby. Not only is he a great guy, but we felt zero pressure and I got an absolutely awesome deal through him.
