    I'm wondering if car dealers are coming here pretending to be a newbie that just purchased a new car and throwing around really crazy numbers to get people to their dealership?

    Last month some newbie person came stating they got a PIP lease for $408/mo including all fees and taxes with $0 driveoff from a SoCal dealer, only one dealership would do it.....but when I contacted that dealer, it was like them playing a different quoting game with you. Almost as though they knew you would contact them and they insist on you coming into their dealership for work out the details....just makes me wonder.

    Also I sent a private message to that newbie and never got a reply.

    I'll bet your suspicions are correct.

    They almost wanted to laugh at me with the $0 drive off. For that rate to work $308, there's almost a $5000 drive off
