Don't "feel sorry" for someone who overpaid because it's THEIR fault for not asking someone (friend or family) to help or not doing their "due diligence." Also, some people willingly pay sticker price just because they don't want to hassle and have plenty of money so as to not to give a damn. I have someone in my "extended" family like that. They have so much money they don't know what to do with it. That doesn't mean they were gouged it means they don't care. They do get VERY WELL taken care of by the dealers .... and no, they don't buy "luxury" cars.
Exactly. Anyone who gets ripped off buying a car is just lazy. Even if youre there and run into a price youre not sure about, so? Go home, research then go back. Are you that desperate for a car that you have to buy on first visit? Do you buy a house in one day, first visit without doing some research? (Stupid question, I guess, because Im sure some do and then whine about the outcome). You are in charge of your own life. If you get ripped? Well, sorry. Thats kinda your fault
