Hello,
My wife recently got her much awaited Sky, and she is a beauty.
She is real happy with it, and I can see why. Silver pearl exterior, black leather interior, and fully loaded. I was pleasantly surprised at how the car looks in real life (pictures don't do it justice). Also, the interior is surprisingly tightly done, and just plain awesome.
BUT...
Here's the problem: After looking at the Saturn website and comparing how much we got charged by the options as opposed of MSRP we think we have gotten ripped off. Everything is marked up at least 200%, so instead of paying about $3,500 for all the options, they charged us $10,000. To add insult to injury, they would only accept the transaction as a trade-in, so I had to give up my wife's L-Series (They said they needed a trade-in because they don't mark up their cars, so they need to make money someway
)
To give some examples of the prices we were charged: The tonneau cover is listed at $336.00, and we got charged $995.00. The Splash guards are listed at $157.00, and we got charged $595.00 (That's right). The list goes on, and on.
Although my wife loves her Sky and so do I, I can't help that these people took advantage of her impulse-buying (I was out of town). For a company that has a reputation of being honest and customer friendly, this is something I wouldn't expect.
I forgot to add: The final sticker price was over 37K.
Thanks for reading my rant. Any feedback will be appreciated.
Robert
