I was absolutely gobsmacked when I went to buy a new car locally. Florida dealers are so far advanced in customer fraud that I can't understand how they stay in business. The use of bumper stickers (the side sticker adding thousands for etching the VIN on windows, spraying the seats with Scothguard, etc.) and then hundreds more in "dealer fees" after the sale is negotiated. Any reasonable consumer will have to buy on-line or out of state to avoid these common scams. Buying out of state and away from the shysters is very easy and the DVM makes the paperwork very simple. I have gone out of state to purchase my last two new cars to get away from the scams most local dealers run on us older buyers. I wonder how many of the TV'ers have been cheated out of thousands of dollars on a basic car? Most car sales in FL are 20% SCAM!!
