Had a very smooth experience with the purchase of a used Ford (had been a lease) at Cowles Parkway Ford in Woodbridge. Paid cash and web price and then out-the-door were all as quoted.

Kia shady- I’m absolutely shocked

I’ve had many dealers include a financing incentive in the price, but all have disclosed that from the beginning.

We had lots of issues paying cash. Try more dealers. Or, take the financing and pay it off.

Mtheu also own Volvo in Falls Church, and they wer not even close to competitor on price. Didn’t even follow up. Terrible.

Hertz due to low demand is selling off late model low miles cars. They have a bunch of Kia Souls. The price is the price.

We bought a new car a few years back at Jack Taylor's Alexandria Toyota. They honored the price even when we paid cash. I didn't know it was an issue. There was an extra discount for financing, I think it was $500, but we didnt' quality. The price we paid matched the quoted price we got online though. We went through the USAA car buying service. I also called around to a couple of other dealerships and they would have matched that price with us paying cash. We didnt' look at Kias though. I had bad experiences at a couple of other dealerships, but the team at Jack Taylor was nice.

Some certainly are. Lindsay Chevrolet is a den of Vipers. Great selection, but I would never buy another vehicle from them

Simple solution: finance it, then pay it off a week later. The dealership will be pissed (they get a cut of the financing) but it's totally legal.

Exactly this— why not just finance it and prepay the loan for $2k?

In the meantime if you want you can complain to the consumers affairs branch of the AG but not sure how much they care in VA.

This this this. Yes they do it everywhere. Lindsay Lexus too.

Most of the time if you're upfront about wanting to pay cash, they'll suggest taking the loan so you can get a better price then paying it off in a few months. There's typically a set amount of months (maybe three?) the loan has to be active. if it's paid off sooner the bank claws back the incentives from the dealership. Most people wait that time out then pay it off the next month. A few month's interest isn't that much and you don't screw over the guy working to get you that deal. Or you could just pay it off immediately. In that case the discounts to the dealer get clawed back and you get your cash price. You're a bit of a jerk for doing it and they may not want your business in the future but that's an option.
