Nicole Morgan+FollowArizona car buyer exposes dealership tricksGetting “fired” as a customer for questioning a car dealership’s price changes? That’s what happened to one Arizona buyer, who shared his wild experience online. After receiving a written quote for a new Ranger Lariat, he noticed the dealer quietly bumped up the price before offering a “bigger discount.” When he pushed back on the math, challenged a lowball trade-in offer, and corrected their tax info, the dealership banned him for his “tone.” Many in the community say these tactics—phantom buyers, shifting prices—are all too familiar. Has anyone else run into these games while car shopping? #Cars #Arizona #CarBuying30Share

Lenders are getting pickier, and loans are stretching longer just to keep payments manageable. Feels like the auto industry is hitting the brakes hard right now. #Cars #AutoLoans #CarBuying154Share
