I have NEVER said this on a review, but if you are a person of COLOR...DO NOT COME HERE! I checked…read moreout a car on CarGurus and called to inquire. I reached a man named TONY C who told me that the $5500 listed was NOT the price. He said it was $6000-$7000, and it was a MECHANICS SPECIAL and they had NOT inspected it. I advised again on what I was seeing and I started the paperwork for the deal and printed my summary. He said he had to check out the info and would call back.
When I hung up, Jessica O called stating she saw my inquiry online and asked if I wanted to see the car. I advised of the above, and she had me text screenshots to her and apologized saying she wanted to know where Tony got the numbers , why he used the term "mechanic's special, and ASSUMED I NEEDED THEIR FINANCING. She stated that while they WOULD NOT finance the car, I could ABSOLUTELY obtain my own through a third party. She stated she would call me back.
A few minutes later, Tony C called stating that he could NOT sell me the car because they weren't financing it and gave me a song and dance. I NEVER said I needed financing. As a matter of fact, I had already been pre-approved and had whatever money was needed. I advised him of Jessica's conversation with me and I told him to talk to her.
Then Jessica calls back stating she spoke to the Finance Mgr and I could indeed have the car for the $5500 listed. So I set a time to see the car for 11a on Wed Oct 15th.
TODAY I called before going and Carol told me to ask for Rich Putty. I went in and DOWNHILL it went. Rich tried to give me to TONY C. I explained what happened the day before. So now RICH P is agitated. He tells me I have to put down $500 dollars for a TEST DIVE! I ho out and tell my husband. My hubby comes in and asks why? RICH P says if we didn't want to do that, we could TEST DRIVE IT IN THE PARKING LOT! Yall, they treated us like THIEVES! Why on earth would I want to STEAL their RAGGEDY 2015 Patriot that had ALL KIND OF LIGHTS ON (engine, brakes, tires, etc.)? Plus, my hubby and I can go ANYWHERE to SIGN AND DRIVE, but I just needed a reliable car to take out of state. RICH pawns me off on CAROL and my hubby was like LETS GO. We left.
In hindsight, after the way TONY C LIED about the price and how he COULDN'T sell me a car, I shouldn't have wasted my time. In this space that we're in, keep your RACISM out of your business b/c as forestated, we were NOT rude or anything to them. We were just THE WRONG COLOR, and maybe they thought we were desperate for any TRASHY car they had. If you look at my reviews, you will see that in my EIGHT YEARS of being an ELITE YELPER, I have NEVER written a review so long and detailed. So, PEOPLE OF COLOR, DO NOT COME HERE!
