Helped a friend buy a certified car at Ed Morse Cadillac yesterday. The first offer had an unusual line item on the paper. RECON $2,000. I asked 'What's that" I'm told its their cost to recondition the car for resale. I said it was not listed on the on line ad.....I said that's ridiculous- you add that to the selling price!! So when they asked what my friend would buy the car for I wrote BS next to the $2,000. They took it off. Many car dealer add a 'additional sticker' to used cars calling it ;additional dealer markup. Don't pay it! May will, not knowing it's negotiable. LET THE BUYER BEWARE-NEVER ACCEPT THE FIRST OFFER. BE PREPARED TO WALK OUT AND ACTUALLY DO IT, THEY USUALLY CALL YOU BACK THE NEXT DAY OR BEFORE YOU LEAVE THAT DAY.
