I decided to keep my mouth shut for that part since the salesperson and even her manager weren't savvy enough on the car to give any sort of rebuttal. I have a feeling they didn't want to deal with having to send it back and any re-stocking bs it would have been so they buckled. I also have a sneaking suspicion that my particular Toyota wasn't doing so well since their lot has barely changed in months and they have had "Help Wanted" signs up the whole year.
So I guess if you want to haggle, you have to pretty much hope for the right factors to line up. After all was said and done, I just had the carpet imperfection fixed up with the warranty at another dealership.
I personally hate the idea of "Pure Price". It's basically a shield dealers can hide behind to mark up their cars. |
