dealership test drive horror stories

Once I went for a test drive at a dealership. The car smelled like cigarettes really bad even though it was supposed to be a non - smoking vehicle. It was so disgusting that I couldn't focus on the driving experience at all.

A lot of people have horror stories about unprofessional salespeople during test drives. They might be rude or try to intimidate you into buying. For instance, I know someone who had a salesperson that started yelling at them when they didn't like the car enough to make an offer right away. It's unacceptable behavior in a dealership environment.

Once I went for a test drive of an old car. As soon as I started it, there was a strange rattling noise from the engine. It got louder when I accelerated. I was so scared that something might break down right there. I quickly drove back to the dealership.

Mechanical issues like strange noises from the engine are common. For example, a knocking sound that makes you think the engine is about to fall apart.

I had a nightmare experience at a dealership. They had advertised a great deal on a new model. When I got there, they added all sorts of hidden fees. The price went up by thousands. And the salesperson was really pushy, trying to get me to sign the papers right away without explaining all the costs clearly. It was a total rip - off.

Polar Fox was a brand launched by Beiqi New Energy. They had launched a variety of parent-child travel models, such as the Polar Fox Koala and the Polar Fox Alpha S Forest edition. According to the test drive report, the seats of the Extreme Fox Koala were comfortable and spacious. The selection of parts in the car was strictly controlled, and it was equipped with organic antiseptic technology and high-efficiency air filtering system. The Polar Fox Koala also paid attention to safety. It adopted a particularly long side air curtain and a structural strengthening design. At the same time, it launched a fully electronic child safety seat with Goodbaby. The Alpha S Forest and Alpha T Forest versions provided comfortable seats and ample space. They were equipped with seat ventilation, heating, massage functions, and a panoramic sunroof. These models also paid attention to air quality. They were equipped with a PM 2.5 + CCN95 antiseptic filter and a negative ion generator to provide a fresh driving environment. There were also different driving modes to choose from, including economy, comfort, and sports modes. Overall, the Gokudo model had a good performance in terms of comfort, safety, and air quality.

I heard of a case where a customer was pressured into signing a very expensive financing deal at a car dealership. The salesperson was very pushy and didn't fully explain all the terms. Later, the customer realized they were paying way more in interest than they should have and it was a nightmare to try and get out of the deal.

One of the most common dealership horror stories is the bait - and - switch tactic. They'll advertise a great car at a great price to get you in the door. But when you get there, they'll say that car is sold or has some issues, and then try to sell you a more expensive model. Also, getting stuck with a lemon is a horror story many face. Buying a car that constantly breaks down and the dealership refuses to take responsibility.

One time I took my car to a dealership for a simple oil change. They ended up scratching the paint on my door. When I confronted them, they denied it at first. It was such a headache to prove it was their fault and get them to pay for the repair.

Well, once I went to an auto dealership to buy a used car. They promised it was in great condition. But after I bought it, the engine started making strange noises just a week later. Turns out they had hidden some major issues and didn't disclose them.
