Went in there knowing exactly what I wanted and knew there were none on the lot. So I went in there knowing that I wanted to order a vehicle and knew exactly how I wanted to order it. So my wife and I walked onto the lot so we could see model that I would be ordering and to view any colors that might shift off what I was thinking. I was shocked that not 1 sales person came to greet us. After about 10ish minutes, we walked inside and asked for a sales rep and met Jorge. Told him what I was looking to do we sat down and printed exactly what I wanted. It was at this point he advised that due to vehicle shortages they were adding a market adjustment, I kindly told him that since I am ordering a vehicle that I would not be paying a market adjustment due to it being an ordered vehicle. Meaning it wont sit on the lot and they will be able to retain all the holdback money as well as making money on the financing. So there would still be plenty of skin in the game for the dealer to make money without having to work a crazy deal and force its consumer to pay additional markup that is just pure profit for the dealer. Jorge said that he understands and would ask the sales manager what they could do. He comes back a few minutes later and says all cars have this and I said cool, we'll find a dealership who is willing to work with us on ordering a car and not pay the fee. The manager then comes over and tries to explain that this is a decision made by the owners and not him. Again I say that's fine, if your ownership does not want to sell a car than we will find someone who does. He then goes on to try and explain that "well when you sell us your car we are buying it at an inflated price and if you were to turn around and sell the car you ordered you can sell it for more too." Again I said, "that's great, I am not trading in a vehicle and I drive 35 miles a day to work, the last thing I am going to do is to flip it, to make a few bucks. You're just padding your profits and if that's how you want to operate that's fine, you just wont be getting any business from me." I also told the manager that I used to work in the car business, what I didn't tell him is I worked not only the back end, but also the front end. I know how the business works. But to be told again and again that its a rare car, well that's weird because if its so rare, why are there 11 currently in transit to 3 dealers in the valley? Rare huh? So while I want to be sure I include everything, the manager advised they don't even have the allocation to order the type of vehicle I am looking at. Ok cool those come up every so often and as I told Jorge and the manager, I am ok with waiting till you receive an allocation and we can order what I am looking for. Then we circled back to the market adjustment. Really I don't care how long I have to wait, I know what I want. He also then tried saying that, you cant go anywhere and order a vehicle. Really? VW, BMW, Ford, Chrysler, ect you can order a vehicle from them, some they can only special order when they receive an allocation and some can order as customers are available, and some are a combo of both depending on the model and trim. When you treat people like they are stupid, you piss them off. If I was the sales manager, I would have taken my info and the moment an allocation was available, called me to say hey we can order one, lets make a deal. But nope that isnt what happened all because you have a sales manager and ownership group that is more focused on the money than the customer. This really shocked me for such a new franchise, my experience yesterday is exactly the reason why people despise buying cars. So kudos for that. read more
