House of Cars Unprofessional, pushy, scammers, fraud Calgary Alberta

In Calgary (AB), this is the best place to take your kids to teach them how to avoid getting scammed.

I visted the store on Jan 12, 2017.

Firstly, the budget you alot for buying a car may not be respected. Arguments including the bank will not approve you for a loan are usually given in different sentences.  If you decide to pay cash, a car or truck of higher is proferred to a customer and forced for purchase.  They may ask you to buy a lubrico warranty which does not cover much (1000$). I backed ouf of these first few deals.

They also have a brilliant chart depictibng four squares on a paper showing vehicle value, interest rate, monthly payment, and term rate. I think in this age, many are aware of expenses and how much they are willing to put down and pay for a vehicle.

They called me back the next few days insisting on a purchase. I asked them to search for cars I was interested in: Volvo xc70 wagon and Saab 9-5 wagon (very uncommon and rare vehicles for the region). They claimed they had access to the wholesale market. I had some idea of the year and prices of the vehicles being offered on Calgary Kijiji. They called me back saying they found perfect matches on Wholesale.  When they mentioned the matches to me. the year, kms on the vehicle, model matched 100% to the kijiji private ads. However, they were asking for $3500-5000 more than the private ads price. So, I was a bit perplexed and refused.

In the end, I just went for a private transaction. Please be careful dealing with House Of Cars.
