The only issue that I had was lack of communication between myself and the sales rep. I won't name him because at the end of the day business is business and I got what I wanted so all is going. The issue came when I decided to trade my '14 Buick Encore (which I loved) in for a larger vehicle with a 3rd row seat. Because I didn't necessarily like large SUVs, I was a little hesitant and wanted to make the right choice for me and my family. Due to my husband's off days, I wanted to have two cars shipped so that we could determine together which one would be better for our needs. One was a '13 Nissan Pathfinder and the other was a '11 Acura MDX. Both were immaculate with low miles and and all the things we desired. After the Nissan was shipped, I communicated to the rep that I wasn't sure and wanted to see Acura as well and would bring my husband to view them when he was off because I don't make big decisions without us agreeing on it...period. Both cars were shipped. A few days later we went to view the vehicles. When we got in, we saw the rep but he was kind of acting standoffish. I asked I'd we could see the Acura and he said it wasn't in yet. So I asked if we could see the Nissan and he said that it was in the process of being sold. Wait? what? I was the one who requested it to be shipped and you sold it without even calling me to inform me? I was upset because we had been researching cars for a month or so and had
narrowed it down to the price, color and everything. So we asked to see it. We did and of course it was the one my husband loved it and surprisingly so did I. Again, low miles, immaculate, felt like it would be a fair trade for what I was trading in for a slightly older car. The rep said there was nothing that he could do and was very nonchalant as if he didn't want to deal with us. At this point I found a manager, discussed the issue of communication and explained why I wanted to see the two cars and didn't want to make sure a major decision without his input. She completely understood and called the rep in to hear both of our sides, which didn't conflict. It was just all about communication. Instead of telling me that for business purposes he couldn't hold two cars for one customer, he put the Nissan up for sale. Since the car was still there, I asked if its sold, why is it still here? The manager didn't know why either. The rep stated that the person was going to come in the next day to sign the papers. So I said, then, it's not really sold then huh. After talking to the manager, our application had already been approved days prior, she asked the rep the keys so we could take it for a drive. He looked hesitant but didn't undermine the manager. We drove it. It was comfortable, wasn't too large for me to maneuver, eventhough it was twice the size and would be great for family vacations and travel. She asked us if we wanted the car and we said yes. Shortly after we signed the papers, traded our vehicle and it was done.
The other caveat is that if you are a stickler about your FICO score as I am be aware that when they run your financing instead of dealing with one finance company, they farm your finance request to several banks to see who will agree to the terms you desire. If you are looking at two cars, they the application is run twice. Again this was not communicated and I wouldn't have done it had I known. These are hard inquiries and will affect your credit score. It dropped my FICO score tremendously. I disputed the massive inquiries and since it was done within the same time period they drop the 2O!!!! inquiries to one inquiry. After a few weeks my FICO score was back up to where it needs to be. Good credit is major, so watch out for those things!
All in all, great car, great warranty and no issues!
