I have learned the hard way about trusting the sale guy and having after sales work done. The dealership has your money the less that you deal with them the better unless it is warranty work done. They goudge me for twice the price of the work I had done. And the crap workmanship was Embarrassing! They did just enough not to get sued. I don't know if it is common or not but I have herd the samething from most people I have talked to.

 

dont worry about it. the stang looks A LOT better without the spoiler



imo

 

Cooling off periods are usually reserved for home sales and door-to-door stuff. May vary by state. In GA - no cooling off period for car purchases. But a few dealers here offer varying money back guarantees.

I've had spoliers installed and painted for less than $300 - but not on a Mustang. And I've bought aftermarket, painted to match spoliers for TBird and Marauder for $200.

A reputable dealer (is that an oxymoron?) would offer to refund the cost of the SAP.

 

It is my understanding that the 72 hour "buyer's remorse" law applies to all major purchases. But they will charge you for the miles you put on the car. It should be in the fine print on your contract. I don't know if they made you fill out a BCA (borrowed car agreement). They would have done that if they let you off the lot with the car before the financing was set in stone. The BCA should tell you what they'll charge for miles.

 

It really does depend on the state, and the dealer. Here in Arizona there is NO 3-day "cooling off period" on auto sales, and is part of every car sales contract written here. However some dealers will have some kind of provision to that.

It's been awhile since I've lived in California, but my memory tells there was a 3 day "cooling off" period on auto sales there.

All that aside, you haven't had it done yet, if you don't like the price or feel you got the shaft, then simply don't do it, and find a better alternative later. Don't make more of it than it really is.

 

I got my stang on Saturday... it is now Tuesday... looks like the 3-day cooling off period won't apply to me anymore

 

i don't quite understand what the fuss is all about. You bought a car off the lot. That I'm assuming that did not come with the Sport Appearence pack. You told the salesman that you wanted it, they added cost to the car and told you that they would install it. Does this pretty much sound correct?

If so....if they don't have the part, just be patient...it's only a spoiler.

 

Does Sunday count since the dealership was closed?

 

I don't know how many times I've seen people get screwed when they don't get the terms in writing.

If you trust a salesman you don't personally know, don't be surprised if you get taken advantage of...

 

i agree with the sign issue.....nothing like alerting other potential victims ahead of time to get them to bend for you....what a bunch of jerks....i'd be posting the name of the lot on here.....hahaha

My understanding is that if the cooling off period applies at all, it's 3 business days. Make up your mind quick, Sunday shouldn't count. Put it in writing and give it to the sales manager. Hope it works out for you.

 

Nothing personal, but you went to buy your stang and you didn't have all of your information ready to combat the crooked salesman.

The salesman took advantage of it, and you just got the short end of the stick. If the one item was marked up, it's my bet that you prolly paid too much for the car all the way around, not just on the one option.

For those that haven't ordered yet and read this, take it as a hard lesson learned and save yourself some cash and time by knowing exactly what things cost before taking delivery.

 

Billy Bob, Go talk to the owner of the dealership. I can almost bet he has no idea what is going on, and I will also bet he will also make it right for you.Sounds like a few to many people are giving you the shaft! I had the same problems with my new xlt in 01. Had a few problems with the wife's 04 Mustang. Went to see the owner of the dealership. Had a good long talk with him, No problems after that. He told me if I ever have any more problems to come see him, and he would straighten his employees out. Now they treat my wife and I like royalty. Hope I've helped! Let us know how you make out ?

 

It does not apply to auto sales...once you sign up and drive it off the lot you are an owner. I personally would simply request a refund on the SAP and order the stripes from the dealer; then order the CDC duck-tail, and have a reputable body shop paint and install the spoiler and tape stripes. B)
If the dealer is not helpful, tell them that you will not be back, nor will you send them any referrals. And if the dealer is a good one, if you threaten them with a bad survey, they will jump through hoops...

 

Can I get an AMEN :worship: :worship: :worship:
