When I see a headline like the one above, I automatically picture a panel of people picking out colours of cars. Call me shallow, but there are some UGLY colours driving around this city.
Unfortunately, not so much connected to that at all, but very fortunately, is connected to the Government letting you feel just a touch more powerful by asking how, when and most importantly WHAT information should be shared with consumers when buying or leasing a vehicle.
I say what as top priority because isn’t it just a worldwide truth about some car salespeople and places. Most definitely not grouping them all together, but there are plenty that ensure they do things a certain way or one price, deal with a paragraph of fine print even someone with crystal clear vision couldn’t make out.
With the Government now sitting up and noticing that, you have a chance between now and May 29th to have your say here.
With that said, of course the higher ups will still sift through and take out the too much too soon information, but it is comforting to know we’ll have more of an inside scoop...right?

You simply have to be able say 'no, thanks at that price' at least once to the dealer. This gives them a strong message that you are serious about your research.
ReplyDeleteYou should also bring a piece of paper to the dealership and make sure you do all the math of the finance calculations yourself. The point is not that they will do the math wrong. The point is you will see exactly how the deal is structured. Do not be afraid to take the time to do this or look like a fool for mapping out your car deal in the dealership.
