Just like every other review here, I would give 0 stars, would NOT recommend at all. So for starters, I entered my information online, using the tool that provides monthly payments, down payment, term, APR, all the things.
Several "staff" people message me. I am communicating with the dealership daily for about a week, with different people. First red flag, no communication amongst staff, no etiquette. I was told credit wasn't used, I had been approved for the car I wanted at the rate and terms listed. I was told they would pay for my uber there, and they did not. I was told there was no damage to the car at all, and it was. I confirmed several times if I was "approved" and When I got there, was not approved. They instantly tried to sell me a new Nissan, instead of the Lexus I asked to see. Nissan a trash cars I said. The manager comes back with a paper, throws it on the table and asks me to sign. The sales price increased, the APR went from 7% to 24%, monthly payments went from $272 to $700. I was told the price was negotiable, guess they meant only able to increase.
I told them, I was lied to and mislead every step of the way and that I was not going to buy a car from them. The gentleman Sebastian I was working with was cool an understanding. He offered to pay half my uber. I lived an hour away, single mom with two kids, and was told they would reimburse me. I end up sending over a $100 in uber and was there all day, literally all day past closing. The manager seemed rude to me, because I had questions and did not just go along with every little thing. Sebastian was convincing, he was able to answer all of my questions. I think I will try again but only if I am working with Sebastian and he's the only one I need helping me.
So be aware, they will tell you ANYTHING to get you into the door. My dad told me that they have people that get paid just bc a customer walks through the door. He said this happens all the time, where the sales rep contacts customers, making promises that can not be honored, but they get paid if you come in. I was furious. Brett is who a friend told me to ask for. He's the one that told me they would send me an uber, then he told me after the fact only if I bought from them, and when I got there, I never saw him once. Never covered a damn thing. Smh I did not know dealerships like this still existed, where they blatantly lie to your face to get you in the door and trick you into some ridiculous deal. Then, the finance lady is like we worked really hard to get you approved, and I'm just like, lady, yall punched some numbers in and got this ridiculous deal that literally charges more in interest than the car is even worth. You didn't work that hard because you would be willing to accommodate the lies I was told and negotiate the price as they said they would. She asked how can we change your mind, so I reminded her of all the bs, and she goes well you just have your mind made up, there's nothing we can do at this time to change it. She says even if I lowered the APR, or the sales price, or payments, you wouldn't be satisfied. Like girl what ?! At this point, I had already been completely turned off anyway. She tells me they can't adjust the price and at the same time told me if I got an uber back for Monday, they would take that out the sales price. Just lie after lie. Found the same exact car, way less miles and no damage for less at another dealer on my hour ride home!
I am warning you, please please please, do yourself a favor, and shop elsewhere. There were so many things wrong, I don't even have the time and patience to list it all. But I wish I had checked here first. Don't make the same mistake!!
Sorry for the long post, but I'm trying to warn you like I wish I had been warned !! read more
