So I'm looking for a second car...

And my Mother and Sister are in the car market. 3 Car sales. I know where I won't be going.

I am actually considering a Hyundai. They are squashing Honda in my opinion.

So why would a dealership/sales staff compromise future sales, referrals and business?

I mean, that's the way of business, especially in sales.

The way my Mortgage Broker said is best. I am going to treat you well because I want your business, your children's business, and any other business you can send my way.

This is the attitude.

I mean, if I am selling someone a car and they ask me, is it has original paint, and I wasn't sure. I would either check it out myself or check with someone who can tell the difference. I wouldn't spew BS out of my mouth.....Unless I knew it was repainted and deliberately wanted to rip someone off. I think this is what happened to me and my co-worker when we shopped at Ottawa Honda Pre Owned on Richmond Road.

Interested in purchasing a car from Ottawa Honda Pre-Owned?

They have enticing prices and negotiate at the drop of a hat. They will sit in front of your family and tell you everything you want to hear. Before you sign the line, take the car to a professional, trusted, 3rd party mechanic to have you vehicle looked over before you buy. Spend the $100.00 or so and have the car inspected for repainted panels or any damages.

Secondly, in the contract, put everything in writing. Anything promised should be written down before you sign. Any maintenance, extras, options, discounts, anything. This will be your only leg to stand on should something go wrong.

Third, trading in a vehicle? Dealers like to 'steal' trades. Be sure to know the worth of your trade in before you deal. Check here to get an idea of your trade in http://www.canadianblackbook.com/

Fourth, used cars have the highest markups and profits to be made. Some cars may earn profits in excess of $5000.00 Especially if your selling damaged and repaired products. Never pay the sticker price.
