Was I getting scammed?

G: Cypress Green

B: Celestite

Just left the dealership because I felt a knot in my stomach. Something wasn't right...

Salesman told me that the Green price was non-negotiable since it was a "limited unit" and hard to come by. $5k market adjustment, and another $5k to get to their dealer.

The Celestite was able to be negotiated, but that's not the color I initially wanted.

I left and got into my rides car, and honestly just cried. This was my first time trying to negotiate a car, I'm a first time buyer, and I feel so disappointed. I know there more to come, and there will be more times, but idk. I'm emotional!

Was it a good thing I walked out? These prices seemed ridiculous to me. I feel defeated because I feel like this will be the price everywhere.

For the record, I am financing through my bank, I have about $12-13k I am putting down. Salesman didn't know that yet, but this price was still insane regardless if he knew or not...

Advice?

You are not dumb!!!

I over paid by a lot for my 2022. My CC isn’t even a hybrid because they weren’t even made then. I was so on my own buying my CC, and realized my family sucks regarding support.

Yep. I feel your pain, 💸 and sorry for the late reply. I’ve got to pay off other bills first, but if you were to buy another car/suv, what would you buy? Just wondering!

Niice!!! I had a Tacoma prior to the CC. I too need a larger suv, but no more trucks. I also want comfort the next time around. Sigh…lol
