Misleading advertising, internet price different from cash price, finance department and sales department quoted different transaction fees, then added additional fees not mentioned after agreeing on price. Over charge for registration and title fees, hide it by calling it filing and clerk fees, charged for NY inspection for a car being titled in NJ.
Internet price cannot be negotiated must finance car threw dealer, told could not pay off loan for 8 months so they can get there bank kick back. claimed to have serviced car, oil and filters, was not done! Called a least a dozen times, was told would refunded, never happened.
Was charged full price for registration, finally got my NJ registration 4 weeks later, never renewed it expired 2 weeks later?! had to pay $85 again. all totaled over charged over $200 Sales manager promised all would be taken care of, nothing happened! This dealer should be checked into for fraudulent registration and title fees, like many other dealerships have been!

Be Careful. Bogus Fees Are The Norm!
AUTHOR: Jim - (USA)

Sounds to me like you discovered you've been vicumized by the Bogus, Add-On, Phoney Fee CONGAME. Here's how it works: The dealer doesn't have the integrity or honesty to operate their business accordingly. They advertise a FAKE PRICE for a car...a price they know they won't sell the car for, such as $10,000. In reality they want $10750 for that car. Any reputable retailer will price their item honestly but not in the Sleazy American Car Business. In our example above, they will DECEIVE you into thinking the car costs just $10000. However, they come up with $750 in official sounding but COMPLETELY BOGUS fees to make up for it. One of the keys to carrying out this FRAUD is to call the BOGUS FEE something which sounds reasonable, yet, its nothing more than a CONGAME. Notice, I'm not talking about taxes or an actual registration fee. The dealer collects those fees for the state. When I talk about registration fee, I mean the actual amount the state requires which is NOT $400-$800 consumers get defrauded with. The slime of the car business attempt to justify their CONGAME by making the excuse "we disclose all fees". BS! $750 for "documentation" doesn't legitimize a well known CONGAME. When a guy with a mask and gun walks into the 711, he has just "disclosed" his intentions! Another excuse used in the Sleazy American Car Business is to hide behind the BBB. The BBB is nothing more than a snake in the grass congame as well. Anybody can BUY a BBB membership and anybody can BUY any phoney accreditation they want. I direct you to bbbroundup.com or go to YouTube and enter "BBB scam" in the search box. The dealers cry and whine that they have business expenses to cover. That's correct, they do. So does Walmart, McDonalds or tons of other businesses and guess what...you don't ever see them DEFRAUDING the public with BOGUS FEES like the Sleazy American Car Business does!
The only remedy here is to make you whole. Whatever BOGUS FEES you've been hit with need to be refunded to you directly and quickly. They got caught...now they can come clean!

Our general manager, Steve Skulnik, would like to speak to you about your concerns. His phone number at the dealership is 516-623-9600.
We take fraud seriously. If there were items that were fraudulent, again, we would appreciate an opportunity to speak to you.
