Well, to a certain extent. Being that this website belongs to Tran, he can determine exactly how far free speech gets you.
That said, I understand why dealers have a bad rap and kindof feel sorry for them about it. A lot of salesmen are just trying to earn a living - and, to be honest, that means making money for the dealers. Its the legitimate ones that earn my respect. And I don't mind paying MSRP (less any applicable discounts) for a car as long as the dealer is willing to give fair value for my trade, treats me nicely, etc.
But its like one local dealer (who shall remain unnamed) who treated my like trash when I was buying my last car.
Not only did they only want to give me 150 for my trade in (which I ended up selling privately for 10 times that, cash, to the first person to look at it), they had the nerve to try and charge me 4000 bucks over the price they were advertising online. When I found out about the internet advertisement and confronted them about it (before the deal had concluded, actually) they had the nerve to treat it like *I* was the one who was in the wrong (and yes, the saleman followed me all the way to my car berating me as I left. I left a particularly livid message on his managers voicemail about it, and sincerely hope he was fired on the spot) and have forever lost my business. Others on these forums have had good experiences with them, but you better bet your a** that I tell every single person I know not to do business there.
The point I'm trying to get at is that while I understand that not all dealers/salespeople are like that, there are enough of them to make me very wary when dealing with any dealer.
