There just is something missing with this "dealership." Went in as a pre-approved and qualified buyer, placed a 500 deposit to hold the car until I could come after work to complete the purchase. arrived after work to finalize everything, test drive the car, indicated we were happy with it and ready to complete the purchase as intended.
once in Dave's office he provided me with VIN information asking that we go ahead and start the process of adding to our insurance while the sales manager was working with multiple lenders to get the best rate. I had a nearly perfect credit score pulled and they assured me there were multiple banks and they were doing their best work to get us the best rate.
we were then given the final bank who the loan would go through and just waiting for our turn to enter the finance office.
we went into finance office once it was out turn, he indicated it was his first day and he was fumbling through a few things but he's been doing this for years and assured us he would get us in and out as quickly as possibl. as we started to sign paperwork I noticed the bank they were using the paperwork did not match what was provided to me by the salesman. I spoke u, he indicated to me no the salesman got it wrong this was the correct lender who approved the loan terms and we proceeded with the paperwork. I asked why the tag title dealer fees tax were not listed on the contract instead it was a lump sum and no breakdown, he said "we don't do that" then he showed me the warranty paperwork indicated "I had to select the extended warrant, no option" I indicated I didn't want the gap coverage as I would by paying the car off in a short period of time. Ok so he adjusts the contract removing the gap but keeping the warrant even though I said I really didn't want it, he said you're buying a jeep you have to have it. Drive home paperwork done. Check engine light turns on.text salesman he indicates he hopes I bought the warranty because otherwise they'd not have to fix the issue. I did I said because I was told I had to but the car sale was less than 12 hours ago I expected they'd do the right thing and correct the issue. I dropped off the next day for repair work. A day goes by I hear nothing. The next morning I hear from service they are fixing the issue will have to me by end of day. Finally get a text 6 pm I can come get it service is closed just pick up from salesman. Get there in asked to step inside they missed a signature on one page. ok I step into finance office where I'm given a complete new contract to sign, why am I resigning all of the paperwork, I asked. He indicated he had messed the initial paperwork up and used the wrong bank lending information and I said well which bank should it be the original one like I told you the salesman gave me, no it's an entirely different bank. I asked why the bank change, he said because there were too many calls that day and the wrong bank was selected, but it's ok nothing changed. I asked to see the original paperwork that I signed so I could verify that nothing else had change, he proceeded to tell me he would find it. 15 minutes of him fumbling and pushing paperwork around he says I can't find it, I threw it away. I asked how I was to verify the paperwork was the same if he didn't have the original, he said well because the only thing that ch aged was the bank, and I asked but I don't know that without comparing, he said but where is your paperwork, I indicated I don't drive around with my financing paperwork in my car. He said well I promise it's just a change in bank. I indicated I was uncomfortable with signing a new contract without verifying the old. I asked if because the original loan paperwork was never funded did that mean that sale was void he said yes. I said so I can just give you the keys back and this is void and I will keep searching for a car for my son. He at no point attempted to make it right or even advise dealership manager that perhaps he had made an error and it was causing an issue with the sale of the car. I gave him the key and expressed I was very uncomfortable with how this was playing out and didn't want to proceed with the purchase of the car. They indicated that I was under contract and I had a 500 deposit. I said the contract is void you changed the terms even if it's the bank that changed you changed the contract after I signed it and you don't even have a copy of the contract that put me under contract on this car! I want my 500 deposit back and the sale is void.
This place is shady I'd the are not doing something shifty in the books and attempting to move a sale through fast then they're just inadequate incompetent dealershi that's people are not equipped to handle a car transactio. I would be careful it is possible they could have puffed that new contract with anything they wanted and I wouldn't have known. They could have truly just made a mistake but at no point did a manager step in to try and help talk through it read more
