^^ WELL SAID Buzz. 100% True.
Wow, just wow.Again, this isn't the dealers issue. If someone comes into the dealership and doesn't speak the language needed to properly negotiate, this isn't the dealers issue (and shouldn't be). I often get clients at my clinic who can't speak English very well. I don't speak anything else. If it happens to be Spanish, I sometimes have a tech there who can help out. If I don't it isn't on me to figure out how to communicate. They came to me and I am under no obligation to figure it out for them. Not trying to be a jerk, just don't like excuses for things which shouldn't be put on a dealership. I am not a big dealership supporter either. They are often slimy and take advantage of buyers but this doesn't make it their fault. There is always the option to stop the process and walk away. It isn't reasonable to purchase a car - all the while knowing you are being screwed - and then cry about it afterwards to try and gain sympathy.
Like tchman, said, WOW. I'm an xray tech, and patient care is 100% my responsibility. If a polish or Spanish patient doesn't know what's going on, it IS my responsibility to explain. According to you, It's the patient's responsibility to let me know she is pregnant? - NOT. It is MY responsibility to make sure she isn't, regardless of language barrier.If it happens to be Spanish, I sometimes have a tech there who can help out.

If they come to me its on them to be able to communicate. How am I obligated to learn other languages to accommodate all clients? Don't understand the world today. So much lack of responsibility. Someone else's fault, yada, yada, yada .Like tchman, said, WOW. I'm an xray tech, and patient care is 100% my responsibility.

The lack of responsibility is on YOU. It's part of YOUR job. You really sound like a person someone wants to know.If they come to me its on them to be able to communicate.

A lot of back and forth on this without knowing what the ad actually said. Consider some examples:So we know this happens, but usually I thought that it's just that you go look at a car, see the price, and also see the added $2,000 for nitrogen in the tires and such. I guess this is different in that they actually advertised a price that they never intended to sell the car for?
What's your story? Di you just find the added BS add-ons when you walked in? or was the car actually advertised for a lower price than they intended to sell it for? - other than the DOC fee

The dealers advertised vehicles at a low price but wouldn't sell them unless customers bought certain extraswww.carscoops.com
What you're saying is correct. The dealership is supposed to make a deal advantageous to them (at the cost of the customer).Again, this isn't the dealers issue.

In todays day and times I would cut them some slack, working in retail most places do not know what they are getting or when they are getting it.This bait and switch is a common practice in any business it seems. I'm glad they fined Nissan for it. Hopefully that sends a message.
I was out this morning doing some shopping, and before I left the house, my wife and I checked the flyers we got this week for sale items. There were a few items I was interested in, and lo and behold the two stores that advertised the products I wanted were mysteriously out of stock. Today was the first day of the sale price, and they had no stock? Gimme a break.
