Don't buy from Evangeline Home Center in Carcencro, LA dealership!
This is something that I NEVER do but I just wanted to let everyone know of my HORRIBLE experience with this dealer. My dad is extremely ill. I am making the personal choice to move closer to help my mom care for my and and her property. Danny and I went to Evangeline Home about a month ago. We found a home that we liked. I asked about a down payment and was told that they require 50% down for this home to be sold to me. Cabot the salesman then said I could put a $1000 deposit (not sure why I was charged $1,030). Before Ipaid the deposit, I specifically asked him, "Worst case scenario, what happens if something happens and I can't go through with the purchase." He very quickly told me, you come back and I refund your money. He also stated, " the only reason we keep the deposit is if I have to do a lot of calling to get you financed the money, but you don't have to worry about that because you are paying cash." Fast to last Thursday. I left Cabot a message that because of land survey, flood plain, and finding out it would cost about $50,000 in dirt that I needed to cancel my order and be given a refund. Crickets! I heard nothing from him. This morning, I called back again. He was adamant that I give him a few more hours to get a quote on pad, dirt, etc. when called me back, I asked him again, did I need to go to Carencro or could he issue a refund over the phone. Wait for it....He is sorry but he could not issue me a refund because they already ordered the trailer. I tried reminding him of our conversation.....but of course he doesn't remember telling me I would be given a refund. I would have never paid a deposit if I would have been told the truth.
So do yourself and all of your friends a favor and share this post! I may not get my money back but I hope that no one is ever dipped by this company again. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING from this company. I'm not posting this for sympathy or anything like that, but it is such a shame that people will take advantage of someone in my situation just to make money.
I tried looking them up on BBB but there was not a business listed with them. read more
