ok which one of you guys needed a quick buck for their gambling addiction and sold this poor lady a car?

[The DiB]

Unreal, take responsibility for your own actions.

Should have done her research, or just walk out if she didn't want it.

[urge2kill]

It says she's intellectually disabled. They scammed a retard. That's pretty fukking low.

[seaborneq]

As Fred Sanford would say, "Big Dummy"

[keyboarding]

Why would you post a fukking link with no context? Seriously, have some common sense.

Smith said the salesmen also billed Leonard, who is intellectually disabled, about $4,500 for a “protection package” that included fabric guarding, rust and sound proofing and window etching. Other dealers charge about a third of that for the same items, he said.

Furthermore, Smith said Leonard, who is unemployed, should not have qualified for a loan from the dealer because her monthly income including a disability pension is less than $2,000.

But Smith added that didn’t stop the two employees from offering an eight-year loan that will result in about $16,000 in financing costs for her, including a final balloon payment of $7,000.

And look at all these other retards on SBR who are commenting without reading the article. Seriously, you guys are fukked.

Dude, fukk you. Look at the thread title. You tried to make it seem like some woman did something stupid. You failed to mention the salesman took advantage of the mentally ill who are on welfare. Don't play innocent.

[gambleballs]

Ah.. Canada.. it all makes sense now.. I was thinking no way any Mazda 6 should cost 41k anyhow.

[blackbeSSt]

whatever fvcktard. this seems to be hitting close to home with you with all the intellectually disabled comments.

Yeah, I spend time on SBR so I deal with plenty of mentally handicapped posters. You posting a link trying to make a joke out of someone being taken advantage of? Yeah, I bet you're real proud of yourself. What a tool.

[Carseller4]

Why can't I get a customer like that?

Seriously....the salesman most likely had very little to do with it. Sales Management and Finance Management jumped on this big time.

What's a vehicle worth? As much as someone is willing to pay for it.

One of my biggest commissions ever was made on my own cousin. I was told if you can't make money off your friends and family, who else you going to make money on?

[JEK]

The bigger crime is the dealership having a sticker price of over 40k for a Mazda 6.

are you a complete idiot? i was not making fun of the lady for buying the car. i was simply JOKING asking which SBR poster sold her the car to get a quick fix for gambling.

damn boy get a grip.

[str]

I am in complete shock!
You mean to tell me that used car dealers try to cheat you?

[pavyracer]

Too things wrong here. First the dealership scammed an intellectually disabled woman (retard). Second the DMV issued a DL for a retard. Two wrongs don't do one right.

Canadian Dollars.. Still probably high 30's American.. must have been top of the line.

Yeah, but willing doesn't mean able:

Furthermore, Smith said Leonard, who is unemployed, should not have qualified for a loan from the dealer because her monthly income including a disability pension is less than $2,000.

[THE PROFIT]

I sold cars for years, the salesman has very little to do with how much profit the dealership makes. There are laws that protect the mentally handicapped and this finance manager should be tried. What a douche!

[Carseller4]

Does anyone know what MSRP stands for?

Manufacturers SUGGESTED Retail Price.

First impulse is to feel sorry for the lady, and angry at the dealer. But after reading the article, certain things stand out.

First they are counting finance charges.....sorry but borrowing money is never free.
Second...I don't know of any dealership that is allowed to act as a bank. Wal Mart can't even pull this off. (They tried) If they are going to charge the dealership with deceptive practices, the bank that gave the loan should be tried also.
Third...I have heard every excuse in the book from customers trying to return vehicles...buyers remorse is very common after a big purchase.

After selling cars for a while you get to hear "What's your best price" over and over. My answer: My best price is a couple grand over sticker, but what we are after is your best price, come on in and let's see what we can do. It kind of lightens things up a little, but it is so true....you don't want the dealers best price, you want yours.

[Boscoe]

wait.... a f*cking mazda lists for 41k in Canada? Wow....

WHERE THE FUKK DO THESE RETARDS GET ALL THIS MONEY! MOTHER FUKKER!! unfukkingreal!

[blackbeSSt]

WHERE THE FUKK DO THESE RETARDS GET ALL THIS MONEY! MOTHER FUKKER!! unfukkingreal!

thats the thing. she didn't have the money. she just fukkin wanted new tires for her 2003 mazda 3 and she walks out with a $66,000 car with an 8 year loan at no tellin what % rate and prolly a $700/month payment.

She may not have had the money...but she must have had great credit to qualify for a 96 month loan with that kind of advance. I have been in the car business 15 years and have seen an 84 month loan ONCE.

How many "retards" are walking around with that kind of credit to pull this off?

Something ain't right about this whole situation.

So what do they mean by this:

Furthermore, Smith said Leonard, who is unemployed, should not have qualified for a loan from the dealer because her monthly income including a disability pension is less than $2,000.

[Carseller4]

So what do they mean by this:

Good question, because dealers DO NOT make the loans.

Something is fishy about this whole story.

That doesn't look even like a loaded 6, looks like a base model.

Actually they do. I got my Mazda3 in a loan through mazda. www.mazdacredit.com

Just because you sell cars doesnt mean you should defend shady car salesman, but if you are a shady car salesman yourself then I guess it's understandable.

[Carseller4]

There is also Ford Credit, Toyota Credit, GMAC, Mitsubishi Credit, Nissan Credit, Chrysler Credit....etc.

Trust me, your local Mazda dealer does not OWN Mazda Credit.

[Chi_archie]

unreal

[ericthegangster]

Trust me, your local Mazda dealer does not OWN Mazda Credit.

I never said the local dealer owns Mazda Credit. I said they make the loans. I had never heard of Mazda American Credit before I wanted to buy this car.

I did NOT have to validate my level of income for anyone, yet I was able to procure a loan through Mazda American Credit WITHOUT EVER TALKING TO ANYONE BUT THE SALESMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP.

But, by the way, FORD DOES own Mazda American Credit and Ford Credit.....


Ford Credit and Mazda American Credit are brands of Ford Motor Credit Company, one of the world's largest automotive finance companies. It has supported the sale of Ford products since 1959. Ford Motor Credit is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company.

A wholly owned subsidiary = parent company owns 100% of its common stock.

Ford doesn't own dealerships. Neither does Mazda.
