2nd hand car dealer

[Suze]

for purchase of 2nd hand car, is there an admin fee charged by the dealer to the buyer? If yes, what's the usual rate? pls advise.

It is just an excuse to get extra coffee money. The purchase of your car hould haven been included.

 

Nv paid admin fee for any of my cars. want charge extra? i dun buy lor.... the dealer makes his choice.

 

They should earn enough from your car, trade-in car, loan and insurance. This amounts to a few k in commission.

usual rate : admin fee = 0.

 

Cos' I won't pay.

Maybe they all not happy cos not taking loan or insurance from them!

[Galantspeedz]

ok.

 

now this step is where you are wrong. You should not let them know 1st.

 

agree on the price and go sign the contract. Then let them know you not getting the loan. As for insurance, it is up to u lar. sometimes let them earn abit as long as the quote they get for you is close to your own quote.

 

You can't have everything your way, my dear lady.

well when we discuss pricing, they say is up to me to pay cash or go on loan... they did not say anything about 'penalty' when i told them likely no loan... guess they didnt think i'll fork out cash simply just like that.

 

anyway, told them i'll not pay them admin fee... they wanted $300... which i thought was ridiculously overpriced.

[Galantspeedz]

u ask them which cup of coffee worth $300 lor.......

 

Aiyah u just tell them u r not willing to pay.. so does the deal go thru?

 

Eh... maybe u want PM me the company. I know there are a few dealers with alot of hanky panky in my opinion
