Just bought my Yaris, was I ripped off?

I didn't buy any of the extras with the finance managers either.

What's OTD mean? After all the fees over the price for the car?

If you 12,200 for the price of the car then you did pretty good. I got my "used" LB auto with the convenience package for 12,000 before fees, and and a touch over 14,000 after fees (including taxes, title, NJ registration, and "certified platinum warranty"). Did yours have any mileage on it? Mine had 7k.

Also, they were asking 14,200 before "OTD." I told them I'd take it for 12 and they said OK.

What was your financing rate? Mine is 9.9%. (Before anyone gasps and explains that I got ripped, my credit is abysmal, and that was the best rate I got.)

To whoever said that they are all "crooks": that wasn't my experience at all. My local dealers were very helpful, and took the time to fully explain everything I was signing and every fee involved—which was good, since this is my first car bought through a dealer and I had no clue what I was doing, or what to expect.
