I recently purchased a used IPL and I took the advice of the forum members, and that is .., have the car checked by an Infiniti specialist, it cost me $125 and its worth it. The next important thing is how cooperative is the dealership and the salesperson. In my case the dealer did whatever i asked them to, there was no BS or high pressure, if you smell any BS then walk away. But most important is to have the car checked by an Infiniti specialist.
To summarize:
1. Car/options/price meet your criteria
2. Car passes inspection by specialist
3. Dealer takes pride in how he runs his business
If the above 3 evaluate to true, then I would say, it's a go!

 

I just called them and I'm test driving today. The car lacks the premium package. It has technology though... Blah I want the premium

 

This is going to seem very confusing, but I will try anyways. If the car does not have the Premium Package, it CANNOT have the TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE (Intelligent Cruise Control, etc.).


If they are playing games with words, they can honestly say that the car does have "technology" though.

 

Just test drove the car , and the pricing is different than listed. It's priced at 25990 cash , finance is 17990. Able to talk down to 21500, nonetheless the car is dirty and also the leather is wrinkled. Her sales pitched failed. I'm going to go auction the car.

 

I don't have enough brain cells to figure out the logic behind the stated pricing plan and I have decided not to even try.

 

For the love of God: PLEASE WALK AWAY FROM THIS SITUATION AND NEVER EVER LOOK BACK. There's no possible way for this to end well. Also, I'm going to say this in a sincere effort to help you: I don't think you're a buyer who should buy a car at an auction. You might get lucky. You might get royally screwed. I don't think you'll be able to tell the difference. Auctions are for people who are very, very knowledgeable about cars and know what and how much it takes to repair one. Unless I'm wrong about you, I don't think you're that person. I'm not trying to put you down, just offering my thoughts to try to help you avoid a very expensive mistake.

Good luck.

 

My mothers friend is a dealer, I also have Carfax reports, I just hope I get a good deal at an auctiln

 

I would never return to this dealer. That pricing is BS.

A Jeep dealer advertised a Wrangler with a small print $800 Southern Auto discount for previous Southern Auto customers. When I questioned the GM about it, he was honest and said it helped them get foot traffic off the low internet price. They refused to budge off the higher price and I walked. Needless to say, I'll likely never buy from them until they advertise a true price.

 

I don't understand, why do they make cash price so expensive, but finance price cheap.... Makes no sense.

 

I test drove the car and it seemed fine though, definitely a different feeling than my accord

 

Planet Mitsubishi - Mitsubishi, Service Center - Dealership Ratings

That's the dealer I went to..read the reviews...I should have otherwise i wouldn't have went there yesterday. The other ppl experienced the same issues I had.

 

What you are experiencing is a scheme to force people to finance the car, likely at an astronomical interest rate.


Per their website:


"Our superb relationship with major nationwide lenders allows us to approve financing for any type of credit. Our Internet Special prices are designed specifically for consumers who would like to finance their purchases regardless of their past negative credit history. No more than 20% down payment accepted if you choose to finance your purchase. We have discounted our Internet special prices as low as possible. These lowered prices are Non-Negotiable and cannot be Discounted any more, Only retail Customer Inquiries please - No dealers or wholesale inquiries."

This paragraph basically reiterates what I was saying, but in marketing language. They are targeting people who normally won't be able to get a traditional loan approved and are willing to pay more in the long run or don't fully understand what they are getting into. I'm not saying I agree/disagree with this sales technique, but at least they are clear about it on their website. If it seems too good to be true it probably is, the dealer will always make money off of a sale or they simply won't make the sale.


Ex: $17,990 @ 9.99% interest rate for 6 years will require you to pay $24k for the car after the loan is up, leaving another $6k in future profit. Also, the payment stays low for the consumer @ ~$335/month.

 

Theres a 3k certification fee upon processing and non negotiable according to the reviews.
