also, all this will do is make them bundle hidden fees into licensing now.
A news team did this check in Calgary many years ago. There was a Mazda dealer advertising a basic model at an unbelievably low price under $10,000. After a reporter with a hidden camera tried to buy that car the dealer eventually admitted that they not only didnt have a car at that price on the lot, but they couldn't even order one. It was a scam to get people in the door.
Here's looking at you Sunridge Mazda. We remember.
They are all like that.
Sunridge Mazda is still a sleaze den. Orangeville Mazda set the bar though. I think it was the first dealer, or one of the first that OMVIC moved to shut down, I can't remember if they got to it or Mazda pulled the franchise first.
There's been some real memorable ones in Canada. They put a guy in jail for awhile a couple years ago. It's an industry that attracts the fraudsters.
Who's buying new cars?
They don't call it stealership for nothing
To the shock and awe of no one.
I started my career in dealerships. OMVIC needs to be three times the size it is, and it needs to be independent. A lot of their board members and whatnot are dealer principles, its basically self policing.
Advertisements have been a problem for 30+ years.
