Car Dealership Scams

The VIN# window etching scam

Basically a dealer will charge you $300-$900 for window
etching and they will tell you that you have to pay the money to
get the loan because the banks insists on it.
Some dealers might tell you that the etching is free but will
add on the etch money to your monthly payments to make up for it.
The best way to avoid this scam is to force the dealer to put
it in writing if they say that the etching is free or simply etch
the car yourself.
You can get an etch-it-yourself kit from
http://www.CarEtch.com for $30 or just don’t buy the car.
Remember a lender doesn’t require that you purchase any
extras on a car. All the lender cares about is that you can make
your payments on time regularly. Don’t buy into it.
