Car Salesmen Part 2

Ok so I knew eventually Steve would get a new (used) car because he's been searching for one endlessly for the last few months.

He finally found something within his price range and he brought me with him to the car dealership to go check out the car. He had only one car in mind and it was a used Nissan Pathfinder.

Steve had already called the dealership earlier to make an appointment to see it and to make sure nobody bought it before he got there, because it seems that always happens lol. So we met with the girl salesperson, and she was quite outgoing which was nice, I'm used to stern older salesmen who have no personalities who are super pushy, so I was glad we got someone on the same wavelength as us.

When they pulled the car up to the front of the dealership I was like -___-' really? lol. The car had dents and scratches all over it, the sunroof didn't work, the glove box was broken, smelled like dirt/dust, almost all the interior lights were broken except for the driver/front passenger seat ones but not the trunk or the passengers in the back and they fucking tell us that they fixed everything? REALLY!? I think the only thing they did was fucking vacuum the car and put cardboard on the floor because the car didn't have any mats >.<

This isn't the car but that's what it looks like
just picture more dents and scratches lol

Steve wanted to get it regardless of the flaws because he just wants his mom to fucking drive here. So they were trying to come up with a deal for him. The sale price of the car was like $10,000 and Steve wanted to do a trade for trade for his car. His car is a newer (newer by 4 years), has less milege, no dents, a few small scratches and they told him they want $4000 extra for the crap car.

 This is what Steve's car looked like
 SHOULD NOT HAVE TRADED IT IN

-___-' So we went to talk to the manager guy (I don't think he was the GM) anyways he based his car value on Craigslist.. he literally went on Craigslist and looked up "mitsubishi lancer" and appraised it based on what other dealerships were selling it at -___-' LOL as well as people trying to sell their cars privately if i knew they are going to do that I should've put random lancer posts on craigslist lol.

Steve wanted to see what kind of financing option he could do so the manager guy took us to see the finance person. She told us that the minimum to finance something was $6000 so she was trying to persuade him to buy a warranty for the car. The car has like 150 K on it and she was trying to sell Steve a warranty that would expire at 160 K for the next 3 years -___-' Steve was like no because it'll expire in like a year anyways and why pay for 3 years? its a rip off. She got SUPER BITCHY after, her attitude was horrendous basically belittled us. Anyways he needed a co-signer if he wanted to finance it and he just decided to talk to his mom and ask.

Later he went back and told them that he felt ripped off because $4000 extra for a fucked up car is not worth it and they told him that if he just paid $1000 they would give him the car as it was. Which he accepted >.< so now he has this crappy car lol.

He likes it but I feel like he got SUPER RIPPED OFF. I miss the lancer T_T it had heated seats lol. Seriously they should've done a trade for trade because the car that he got is so fucked. Plus they told him that they're going to do some "maintenance" on the lancer before they sell it which I don't think they even did on the pathfinder since lots of things are broken in the car.

Steve bought an exhaust for his lancer that was installed and they told him that they can't sell it with that and they have to take it off and put the original one back on (which we gave them) but then I noticed that they advertised his car on Craigslist and on Autotrader. So I have a feeling that they're going to try to sell it without giving it back to him. EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!!!!

They seem very unprofessional and unreliable.

Thanks Key West Ford you have a real professional team...

Will update if they actually give the exhaust back if not.
