DO NOT purchase a car here & for the love of god PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON CLEMENT AUTO!! I understand people are human and these are USED cars, heck even brand new cars have issues. I've given a lot of grace and patience with this transaction before leaving this review, so please don't assume I'm one of these Karens. Please stay for this because if I can do anything, least I can do is save anyone from ever having to deal with this. Purchased my Lincoln Navigator SUV 7/2/25 at the St. Charles Location. When going over the deal the paperwork only showed the payment options with our $5,000 down payment, never a price. Did the rough math in my head and thought it added up, the salesman was really nice, easy to talk to, and I'll admit we are part of the problem because we were rushing. I'm kicking myself because we trusted them. Upon closing on the deal, the finance manager said since we didn't haggle any sales price we are going to "throw" in an extended warranty. Giddy with excitement because the over all purchase experience was really smooth! (If we only knew) Drove the SUV for a couple days, messaged the salesman 7/6/25 explaining the suv wasn't shifting correctly. The salesman said he would take care of it and get someone on this ASAP. Never heard from anyone but he always reached out to see if I had. Still never hearing from anyone I had to call the service department myself. They were rude and treated me like in an inconvenience. Said that I would have to pay for whatever work unless it's approved (mind you I have only owned this car for two weeks, and messaged them promptly after purchasing with the issues) I get it auto service techs aren't in customer sales/people, whatever. Says they will have to get back to me with a time for them to look at it. Ok it gets better, I eventually get my sales paperwork sent to me in the mail. Look over my paperwork they overcharged me $1,200 than the listing price, even better slapped a $3,500 charge on for the warranty!! Adds on a grand total of $4700! I immediately contacted our salesman, he sends me to the general manager. Completely apologetic, I begin to think ok this is going to get taken care. He tells me, that finance manger has since been let go, and that apparently he was doing this to a lot of people. I was understanding, he said he would work on the refund, and look into even getting me better warranty options for the stress. Then that, he will personally follow up with the service department and get me in there ASAP. We get the navigator in for service 7/28/2025. The service department calls me the next day says they can't figure out what's wrong with it. Says they are going to drive it a little more and see. Calls me 8/1/25 to say they've figured out the issue, that it's an active recall on the Navigators. He says since it's not throwing any codes, the warranty companies won't cover it and I'll need to pay a $3500 repair bill. I was floored, especially after just finding out I lost $4700, I said absolutely not. Then says "oh well come get it then, you can just drive it around until the code comes on". Not exactly sure how this works but why wasn't the recall addressed before putting it on the lot, especially now that I know the car was repo that was processed and put on their lot all in the same month. So then I reach back out to the gm, explain the situation, he apologizes more, says don't worry it will all be covered, and taken care of. Fast forward to today, I STILL don't have my car! It's been two months, I can't get ahold of that GM anymore, no refund, no car, and out thousands of $. The advertised 30 day guarantee, 5 Day money back, and included warranties are all a fraudulent joke. About once a week I get an update from the service department saying they are STILL WORKING ON IT, that it will be another week. My transaction with Clement is a complete disaster that has caused so much unwarranted stress, loss of thousands of dollars, a car that I drove for two weeks and as of SEPTEMBER 2nd don't even have. Oh even better I've already paid two payments on it, insurance, and when and if, I get it back the plates will be expired. Don't really know where to go from here with this, but leaving this here to hopefully prevent anyone from this heartache. read more
