Which is shit, because I already had the buy out price + evaluation for financing a lease buy out

(I owe 22k, evaluation after condition and low mileage came in at 27k)

I know the trade in values are different but fuck dude.. 400 bucks? Really? I could finance it at 3.6% APR and then buy it.. turn around and sell it on the open market and easily net 10x that.

So he goes on to try talking me into leasing a new outback but drops the mention that most of the leases they are taking in are coming back with hugely negative equity, including his own outback.

So why the fuck would I sign up for a lease for a vehicle that you just admitted might end in me owing more than the value of the vehicle at the end of the lease?

So the toss some numbers around, I'm like, "I don't really desire to pay more than I'm currently paying for the Forester per month (445) they come back with well.. with trade in we could get you an Outback for $527/m

Or 445 if you put 4k down.. I struggle not to laugh in this dude's face... mumble something about just give me the numbers on paper so I can talk it over with my partner and escape.

Total time at dealership now 2 hours.

Got check with service department "Oh tech is just finishing up.. let me go find out how long it will be."

30 minutes later "Oh let me pull it around, they are done!"

15 minutes later my car is now out front.

Start going over the paper work "Oh tech left the inspection checklist off the clipboard"

10 minutes later "Found it, it was on his toolbox and he went to lunch."

2 hours and 55 minutes later finally going over service paperwork.

5 minutes later. LEAVING FINALLY

The whole time I'm sick with an ear and sinus infection and miserable.. trying to do some work on my laptop from the dealership.. and never got lunch because repeated "Oh just give them 10-15 minutes" that took 30 minutes each time.

Fuck... please note I specifically signed up for "I'll be staying at the dealership so do it fast" service slot. Somehow an hour and half turned into 3 hours.

If they had just said at the start "We are really busy today." I would have fucking left

@wobblewuffess It almost sounds like they're desperately trying to extort you out of your car..........

@mawr @wobblewuffess Convincing you to hang around under false pretenses is 100% in the Shitty Car Dealership Shenanigans wheelhouse, yeah.

@mawr Would not surprise me at all.

They were fucking hungry for trade in/lease buy out. Like... I've had someone call me or email me ever week for the passed 6 months about it from their dealership.

Apparently they get a lot of "Do you have a Forester XT" requests since Subaru killed them. Even for used ones.

@wobblewuffess A car salesman is trying to convince you to take an absurdly bad deal? shocked_pikachu.jpg
