They low ball the fuck out of people, you'll just leave pissed off. It really is just a big crock of shit. The first thing they'll do is give you this MS PowerPoint presentation about how they're so great, then they'll escort you through their lot to see the cars while some appraiser guy goes off and romps on your car. He'll return and tell you this and that and that you're car is a pile of shit, then they'll give you their price on some fancy piece of paper. They offered a friend of mine $10,000 for a 2000 Honda S2000 with 25,000 miles. The sales people are complete retards too. While we were wandering around in the lot, I was being heavily sarcastic and testing the sales guy with what he knew. Needless to say, by the time we left, I had him believing that Acura was owned by Daimler Chrysler.

I sold my SRT4 to them, and other than them giving you a super low price (fair trade in KBB value basically) on a perfect car then its not bad.

They're there to make money. They're not gonna give you retail on a car.

Yeah, there pretty much a huge waste of time if you want to sell them/trade in your car to them. They wanted to give my girlfriend $2000 for a 2002 Focus with 40,000 miles. Awsome condition, and good daily for someone who isnt into cars. I was pissed that it took them 30 minutes just to low ball us.

I agree, go there to kill off some time. Some of you remember my Lexus GS? I decided to see what they'd give me on my rare, mint Sport Design packaged GS with navigation, and they offered me $17,000 and told me its condition was not excellent nor even good, but "consistant with its age". Trade in was $21,900. I got a kick out of their ridiculous powerpoitn presentation that builds you up for their offer only to be low balled and told there is no reconsideration on their evaluation or negotiating on their lot cars. Driver's World is no better, same cars as any dealer just extra time cleaning them and $2000 extra on the non-negotiable price.

Like he said. And majority of the times youre going to get lowballed from the dealer too. But hey, they are there to make a business and a living
