When I bought our Chevy Suburban...

I called all around to get the best deal and the regular sales guy (fleet manager) was fine and we negotiated the price and the trade perfectly -- whole thing took 10 minutes -- well then they send me to the finance guy -- 0% financing so this should take 5 minutes. He hands me the paperwork and added in is ~$500 to the price almost to be looked at as misc charges. So of course I called them on it (I really wonder how many people don't) and they said it was for window etching and dent protection. The guy tells me they etched the VIN on the windows and already added the dent protection to the doors -- your sales guy should have told you that - there is nothing I can do. I did not say anything and I got up to walk outand go home and he stopped me -- pertended to go off in a room and came back to drop the price to $250. I laughed and he dropped it to $99. I said do you ever stop??
Needless to say I bought the truck and spent no extra money. What a bunch of BS!! Dent protection? What the hell is that?? The window etching does not have a VIN #, but some other # and an 800# to call -- I am sure that is not free...Sadly I bet 75% of the people never say a thing.
Anyway common scam -- I was sure to report it to Chevrolet on my "completely satisfied" survey. I am sure they still pull the same crap today.
