My Car Buying Experience Today

Melanie and I went to Capitol Hyundai in Kyle to look at what used cars they had.  The sales guy told us that he had a 2005 Chrysler Sebring, with 18,000 miles, that had hail damage and he could get us a good deal on.  So he went to his manager and the manager came to us and said that we could have it for $5,000 plus TT&L.  So we went to look at it.  It did have a lot of hail damage, which I wasn’t concerned about.  I wanted a mechanically good running car.  Well, Mel and I had to leave to pick up Brit from VBS.  We told the guy we would pay $4700 out-the-door.  Of course he had to talk to his manager.  So I gave him my cell phone and told him to call me with the answer.  I didn’t think they would go for it, but I really wanted them to do $5000 out-the-door.  If they would do that, I would have bought it.  Anyways, he calls me back and tells me the best they could do is $6500 plus tt&l.  What?!?!  Before I left the of, fer was $5k plus tt&l, where did the $6500 come from?  I don’t know what happened, but I have never dealt with a car dealership where the made me an offer, and then they went up on the offer.  Needless to say, we did not buy the car.

Crazy I tell ya, just crazy!  I don’t know about these people.  So, please BEWARE of Capitol Hyundai.

  • You may want to commiserate with Steve & Patti – I believe they have a similar story about that place when they were recently car shopping…
