I bought a new vehicle recently and the dealer runs you by the guy trying to sell you the extended warranty, paint seal, fabric protection and all the other crap that adds to the price but is way over priced and should not be purchased. After this guy gets through trying to screw you, the next guy who finalizes all the paper work tries to give you another little screw job. He will put all kinds of paper work in front of you to sign BE CAREFUL AND READ BEFORE YOU SIGN!!!! They will want you to sign all of your rights away, an example is that you agree not to sue them but will agree to arbitration in case of a dispute service related or otherwise. DO NOT SIGN THIS!!! Arbitration will favor the car maker and dealer and you will loose a lot of clout later on when you argue with a dealer about service issues if you signed you right to sue away, also most states have lemon laws and if you agree to arbitration, you just gave up your rights under the lemon laws. The only thing you should agree to sign is a purchase agreement stating the price of the vehicle and any other issues you want fixed on the vehicle or added to it and a odometer reading statement. If there is anything on the purchase agreement you do not agree with, cross it out. Do not let them wear you down or brow beat you into signing something you are not comfortable with. They used these tatics on me and I just politely said I wasn't signing certain things they put in front of me. The dealer said "what are you a lawyer" and I said no, I'm just not stupid and he laughed and said he gets most of the buyers to sign it but if I didn't want to it was not required. The government has given the buyer a lot of legal protections, the dealers are hell bent on taking all of these protections away, if you are stupid enough to let them....BEWARE!!!
