fleece [flees] verb: to deceive and take money from (someone)
The problem, the majority of customers go into a dealership without any knowledge of what vehicle is right for their wants and needs, their current vehicles trade in value, the fair market value of the vehicle that they are interested in purchasing, how a dealership hides profit, and many other skills needed in making a fair purchase of a vehicle of their selection. They ultimately get fleeced. This website will help you to become a more knowledgeable purchaser.
First, a little about me. I'm a retired US Marine. I've personally owned in excess of one-hundred-twenty vehicles over the past 15 years, you could say that I have more than a small interest in the automobile industry. I've worked in the auto industry as a New car salesperson for Dodge and Mitsubishi Motors where I became certified in less than two months time where it usually takes a minimum of six months to accomplish. I was able to obtain and keep a national CSI, Consumer Satisfactory Index, score of a minimum of 96% throughout my career in new car sales, I moved on from there to used car sales and then onto automobile wholesale, then eventually opening a used car dealership with a partner. I firmly believe that the "customer" is king/queen in any business. The content is this module is based upon personal experience and provides an inside look of the back-end dealings of a typical dealership. This module is part of my Masters project in Learning Design and TECHnology at the University of Hawaii Manoa. This website is not affiliated with any financial institution or dealership as it is meant to be a educational tool for the wary buyer.
