I have a very good idea, and I realize that. I'm not worried about a few hundred or a couple thousand dollars on a large purchase, whether it's a car or a house. It's all about perspective with me, not trying to stick it to the seller. |

Handicapped people should not be taken advantage of. Children should not be taken advantage of. The elderly should not be taken advantage of. Idiots however, should be taken full advantage of and mocked afterward. |

The reason why they try to push you into using their financing, in buying the extended warranty and to trade in your car is because they get commission for financing, buying extended warranty and they will make a killing on your trade in, a lot more than the $2000 trade in credit that they give you.

The most ridiculous part of your argument is that you think that the government coming in and essentially controlling all forms of advertising and taking control of private search engines (because that's all Autotrader is), is somehow going to change that. Regulating search engines to save you time is not the job of the government. Period. |

You have absolutely zero clue how financing works. As for warranties, none of it is in the fine print. You either want it, or you don't. Every electronics store, Amazon, hell, even Wal-Mart sells warranties. Wake the f**k up. It's not misleading to try to sell someone a warranty when you flat out tell them you want to sell them a warranty. |

I never buy the extended warranty, but that's a different discussion. |

As someone who sells them, I've actually bought more than 1. If you actually know how to buy it (no, not paying whatever the dealer wants for it), it can be very beneficial. But yes, that's a different discussion. |

I don't buy extended warranties because I am only marginally informed about them. I'm a warranty idiot that does not want to be taken advantage of. The ones I have read always lead me to a solid "no thank you" because of the hundreds of ways they are not required to cover a repair. The key here is that I don't get taken advantage of because I don't know enough about them to make an informed decision. That same logic should be applied to a vehicle purchase. Get help with a purchase if you are dumb like me. |

They even have rules on the value of the trade. They won't give you a $2000 trade in credit if you trade in a $500 car. There are usually minimum trade in value requirements to give you the trade in credit. |

You're saying, hey, I can obfuscate the deal, lower the price a bit, if I know I'll get a spiff from the financing on the back end. Same with a trade. I'll show you a lower price for the new car, and offset that with a coordinating lower credit for the trade. It's all just sleight of hand. The simplest, most straightforward transaction is a guy who walks in with a checkbook. You agree on what you want for the car, he writes a check, and that's it. Your floor plan carrying costs are done, and you move on to the next sale. |
