Here's my experience with a single Chrysler dealer I thought was reputable. 1) On the first vehicle inquiry, the salesman offered me $4500 CfC, plus $1 trade for my old car. When I mentioned I wanted the scrap value, he knew nothing about it and refused the offer. 2) Same dealer, new inquiry (my sister). The dealer offered her the $4500 CfC (this used vehicle worth about $1000 on auction), plus said they'd match the $4500 on a used car! Apparently, two lies from the dealer. Matching the CfC, and applying said CfC money towards a used vehicle. 3) Same dealer, third scam (my wife this time), offered same $4500 for vehicle, plus $4500 match. However, the dealer did not care that the vehicle was in our name for only two months AND uninsured at the time (vehicle under repair, not roadworthy). This is incredible. I think after I post here, I'm off to the BBB and then find out where to report this dealer. It's a shame, this is the last Chrysler dealer in the area, the other two were shut down. Had a lot of fun scamming exposing the dealer though! Cash for Clunkers is a magnet for multiple scams! Here’s my experience with a single Chrysler dealer I thought was reputable.
