A Georgia car buyer is urging others to scrutinize their dealership paperwork after discovering he had been charged thousands in illegal fees, and ultimately received a $4,100 refund.
In a Reddit post, the buyer explained that he found a 2020 Honda CR-V listed online for just over $18,000 and drove an hour to the dealership. He had purchased from the same location before with mostly good experiences, so his guard was down. Although he initially told staff he didn’t want to put any cash down, they insisted he needed money up front to secure a “good rate.”
