We drove three hours each way (six hours round trip) to look at a vehicle after speaking with John…read more Before we even saw the vehicle, we felt pressured into having our credit checked, which was frustrating since we hadn't decided whether we even wanted to purchase it yet.
When we arrived, John wasn't there as expected and had handed us off to Ryan. Ryan also wasn't available, so we ended up working with Rylan instead. Rylan was by far the highlight of our experience. He was friendly, easygoing, professional, and provided excellent customer service.
Unfortunately, the vehicle itself was not as advertised. We had been told it had leather seats and power-adjustable seats, but it actually had cloth seats and manual seats. When we opened the rear hatch, the rear defroster connector had come completely detached. The tires were also extremely worn, with tread that was nearly gone despite the vehicle having around 43,000 miles. We were told the tires were "fine," but based on their condition, they would need to be replaced very soon, which is a significant added expense.
When we spoke with Mo about our concerns, the experience became even more disappointing. After asking why we weren't interested in purchasing the vehicle, we explained that it wasn't what had been represented, the tires needed replacement, and the interior road noise was much louder than expected. Rather than listening to our concerns, he dismissed them. He insisted that all vehicles of that model were loud inside, even after we explained that we had just driven a newer model with the updated roof design that addressed the known wind noise and leak issues. He also continued to insist the tires were acceptable despite their obvious wear.
His attitude was dismissive, rude, and unprofessional throughout the conversation. Instead of addressing our concerns or trying to resolve them, he argued with us and made us feel as though our concerns were invalid. Once we confirmed we weren't interested in purchasing the vehicle, he simply walked away without thanking us for coming in or attempting to make the situation right.
Our $1,000 deposit was refunded, but that was another part of the process we felt pressured into from the beginning.
The one positive from our experience was Rylan, who treated us with respect and was genuinely helpful. Unfortunately, the inaccurate vehicle description, pressure during the buying process, and poor handling of our concerns by management left us disappointed. After driving six hours round trip, we expected the vehicle and the customer experience to match what had been promised.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I do believe other potential buyers should know what to expect. Transparency, accurate vehicle descriptions, and respectful customer service go a long way, and unfortunately, that was not our experience.
Mo sucks.
