I bought a Honda CR-V in October with an extended warranty. I cancelled the warranty the next day. They told me it would take several weeks for the “paperwork” to go through and I would get a credit at the end of my loan. I complained to the GM because of the way the cancellation was handled. (They had me sign a wrinkled piece of paper with no info on it and when I called the warranty company 2 weeks later they never heard of me). Two months later, the dealership made a payment directly to my loan for the full cost of the warranty and the auto salesman was fired. What could have happened? I’m curious. ---

IMPOSSIBLE to tell. And I seriously doubt you’re hearing the whole story. ---

You need to ask the dealership for an explanation. And unless you know for sure, the salesman’s termination may not be directly related to your issues. ---

you got your money back…no need to ask anymore questions…at least the dealership made good on your warranty cancellation. ---

I would guess the salesman was trying to save his commission. Half of what you pay for that insurance goes back to the dealer and the salesman. ---

Joseph may be right. And if he is, that’s probably not the only dishonest thing the guy was doing. Kudos to the dealerhip. And never, ever, ever sign a “piece of wrinkled paper with no info on it”. Every business transaction of any kind should be clear, in writing, dated, and you should immediately get a copy. ---

Sales people are under a lot of pressure to sell these things by dealerships. It’s profit for both. It’s good that the dealership seemed to value your patronage more than this contract. I think it’s too much to ask though, the extent it played in the salespersons being fired. This situation may be ancillary and he just made bad coffee.
