Are car dealerships supposed to register a car before selling it?

Posted in: car dealerships | | 3 Comments »>

When a car dealership sells someone a used car does the car dealership have to register the car in their name before selling it, or can they just pass the title from the person they got it from onto the person who bought the car? I bought a car and this is what the dealership did.
Also, if they are supposed to register the car. Would it be just whatever the name of the business is, or would it be the name of the person who owns the business?

They register it WHEN they sell it, and in the name of the buyer.

One document the buyer signs is something called a "limited power of attorney," which legally permits someone from the dealership to register the car on your behalf.

This is important in the case of leased or financed automobiles; once titled and registered, the title would be forward to the financial institution to be held in trust until the note has been satisfied (paid off).

Why do car dealerships in Tennessee collect a business and metro/county tax and the county does not?

Posted in: car dealerships | | 1 Comment »>

When you purchase a car in Tennessee from a dealership they collect a business and metro/county tax in addition to state taxes and if you purchase a car from an individual and pay taxes yourself the county only collects the state tax? Is this profit to the dealership?

No, most likely it’s a gross receipts tax levied on the dealership. Most businesses pass on gross receipts taxes to their customers although they are not specifically required to do so.

Car Dealerships: Are they obligated to give you a rental car if your part is on backorder?

I sent in my car to the local nissan dealership to have a mass air flow sensor replaced (and some other repairs totalling $800). They told me it would take two days. It turns out they have to order the part from Japan and it will take up to 2 weeks. Are they obligated to give me a rental if I ask for it?

No they are not, however, many dealers do this as a courtesy to thier customers.

How do car dealerships justify $325 for plugs and wires?

Posted in: car dealerships | | 12 Comments »>

Yeah, I’m the schmuck who’s paying it, but only because my car is stranded downtown in a major city, but come on! The service writer claims the plug wires cost $150, "then there are those expensive plugs and all that labor." I hate this, I just HATE going to new car dealerships for service. No wonder they are having problem. What do you think?

Because they are friggin’ crooks. They double the parts on prices (or more), and over charge for labor. The only good thing I can say about dealers, the mechanics know what they are doing, at least in all the ones I’ve dealt with.

is car dealerships begging people to buy cars because of the economy?

Posted in: car dealerships | | 5 Comments »>

is this true? will car dealerships turn you down if you hadd not so great credit?

They don’t want your business if you cannot pay your bills. The whole idea of selling you a car is so you will return to the dealer ship and buy repairs and maintenance services. That is where the money is. Cars sell for only a few hundred dollars over cost.

Why are car dealerships always clumped together?

Posted in: car dealerships | | 2 Comments »>

Car dealerships are always located right next to each other on the same street in every city/town that I have lived in. Why does this happen? Does it happen everywhere?

Several obvious reasons come to mind.
1. Zoning regulations keep this type of business in one part of town.
2.Just like shopping malls, people tend to go to where there is more selection. So adjacent locations increase the traffic.
3.Environmental impact. They produce outflows of oil and grease from servicing cars.
4.Traffic issues. They generate more vehicle traffic around themselves.
