The Alan Jay family of car dealerships in Sebring Florida are rude, crooked, greedy and dishonest. They are not deserving of anyone's business.
Liars. Openly bold faced Liars.
They do not advertise or deal honestly they do not keep their word and back out of the deals they say they will do. Did I mention these are some low-life sorry liars?
Alan Jay Auto Group specifically Alan Jay Nissan are simply a sorry assed bunch of liars. Wait ..... Did I mention they are liars?
So they've got this advertising saying how they will make the best deal and finance everybody or they pay you $250.
They courted me for 2 days by private message during which time they received all of my information explaining that I was a part-time resident here and that my permanent residence is in Kentucky as well as my income information. "No problem at all Mister Joe." and it was always a "come on up we can do this."
Of possible relevance I've noticed that every time somebody calls me "Mister Joe" in the South I should just go ahead and break out the lube.
So they talked us into making the 50 mile drive up to Sebring for an appointment with a salesperson. This was Friday July 10, 2020 on the occasion of my 55th birthday. We made this trip even though I was suffering extreme pain from kidney stones.
On our arrival I texted them.
We stood there forever, squarely in front of the front door with salesmen walking back and forth by us the entire time during which we were completely ignored.
This went on for approximately 20 minutes.
I walked in and the only masked man on the floor. (Masked, no doubt so as to make him featureless and indescribable) asked if he could help us and I told him we had an appointment with Markdown Mike. (A code for them to know which one of their lies oh, I'm sorry I mean advertisements, no, I really meant lies, that I was responding to.)
Mike wasn't there of course, evidently an appointment with us meant less than doo-doo to his non-existant self.
After some confused discussion as to what to do with "these people" (I honestly think I was racially profiled for being an Appalacian American Hillbilly) ... with the sales manager, we were offered a seat in the lobby.
20 more minutes come and go. Finally we are asked to come back to a cubicle and are handed off to a Latino Salesman who spoke English well, but in a manner that was so heavily accented, I had to speak slowly and enunciate constantly to make myself clearly understood, even resorting to writing some information down so he could be made to understand me.
I did all of this even as i translated what he was saying for my wife to be engaged in and understanding of the conversation.
So he calls for my payoff with the phone on speaker and the volume at maximum the automated voice answers the enters the appropriate information when prompted and right away the private particulars of our banking information begins to be announced to the entire showroom which had more than a dozen people an occupancy.
After the payoff amount had been announced along with payment performance information and the current payment status, he realized that this is something that probably should not be announced to the entire dealership and picked up the handset to obtain the rest of my information privately.
The sales guy abruptly told me that the amount of financing they would provide would not be sufficient for the vehicle we wanted because we had no equity in the deal. I explained to him that with our car paid off with Factory incentives as part of the deal that it became an asset which had to be credited towards the deal and I would pay difference in cash.This was a completely workable transaction but in the end, no deal proposed, negotiated or concluded.
I told them that their ad (a portion of which is pictured here) said if we could not reach a deal they would pay us $250 and I asked for my money.
He went to talk to his sales manager who told him to refuse to pay us anything and to get us out the door. So we were shown to the door.
I have spent my morning retaining the services of an attorney and calling the Better Business Bureau to make a formal complaint against these hillbilly hating Liars who deal in bad faith.
See you in court Alan Jay Nissan! read more
