hello,

i just bought an 04' tl with navi.
NBP on Camel, wood snift knob, woodgrain trim.

I am in Ontario, Canada.

I paid 34788.00 CAD before tax.

Comes with the 6/120000 km warranty.

Brand new 06 with navi, sticket price here is 45000.00 before tax.

What do you guys think?

I notices car prices here in Canada is a lot more than in the US

 

why ask the question after you buy the car? you already bought it, enjoy it. now go drive it!!!

 

2nd

 

The reason I asked is I haven't picked up the car yet.

I feel there are some issues, misrepresentation on the dealers part.

They said they'll give me an extra 6yrs/120000 km on top of what is remaining.

On the sales agreement, they did not write the starting from in service date.
only date on the bill was the day I signed it. 07/31/06

When I asked about this, the sales guy said..."no' its only 6/120000 from in service date. Maybe you misunderstood me. we probably forgot to put the in service date on the bill. But when you pick up the car, I can correct it for you."

Secondly, I ased the sales man, who owned the car before?
I was told, the car belonged to a 40/45 yrs old , who is moving back to hongkong, therefore had to give up the car.

After I signed and all, the sales manager who trie to sell me extra bs stuff...told me " you got a hell of a deal, cause the guy who had the car before you, couldn't afford the lease payments so he returned it.

I asked him, what was the guy like, and he said "early 30 yrs old asin man with dyed blond hair." Totally the opposite of what the salesman told me.

I tried to cancel the contract because of these 2 bS story I was fed, and wa told I can't, or I will lose my deposit of 1500.00 possible for fees.

Also, I was not told of the Acura Pre-owned Certify program benefits such as 7 day/1000km exchange, etc...

Any advice?

 

I'm no lawyer, but... misrepresentation of the product = grounds for breach of contract.

You've already purchased the car, however. You will have to cancel it somehow, which will most likely require the help of a lawyer. If you REALLY wanted to back out, then call your lawyer.

Otherwise, in my opinion, it's no big deal, just typical dealership bullshit. They don't know anything about cars in general, much less who owned it before. They make stories up on the spot to make the sale, and sadly, that's just the way it is.

Either way, read your purchase agreement carefully. There might be something in there that can help in this situation, such as the exchange program you mentioned.

Good luck.

 

A deposit isnt a contract...I placed deposits at abt 3 dealerships when i was getting my car back, and got the deposits back from the 2 i didnt end up buying from. The dealers all assured me that legally they cant keep the $ unless i get a vehicle from them...

 

^^ He said he signed the papers already.

But you're right about deposits. It really holds no power on anything.

 

Any of this surprises you?? I've heard some amazing storied out of salesmen in the past. I don't believe a thing they tell my any longer. I find out the answers some place else...and a forum like this is a good place to start.
