I just bought a used vehicle from a dealership, and within days my mailbox was full of extended warranty spam. It's mildly annoying, but mainly I'm curious how these companies got my name and address, along with the make and model of the vehicle I just bought/registered. Googling this, it seems that people are unsure whether vehicle registration records are publically available (how? I don't exactly see a link to "find out who registered cars recently" on the Florida DMV website), or that this info is sold to them (by whom?)

Stanos posted:Going to guess the dealership. They probably sell the information and/or get a cut if someone buys an extended warranty. Wouldn't surprise me, car dealers in my experience have been scummy as hell. The car is certified pre-owned from an official Honda dealership so I think this is unlikely. Not that I think manufacturer dealers can't be scummy, but this seems like they'd have a lot to lose if they got caught and not much to gain. Especially when it comes to a customer that just drove away with a manufacturer's warranty. AugmentedVision fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Nov 30, 2015 |
