I purchased a 2020 Kia Sorento SX from Greenway Ford of Orlando, Florida, around the end of November of 2023. Pierre was the first salesperson, who initially wrote down a higher price for the vehicle, than the advertised price, I had initially told him, and thankfully, I caught it, sent him the ad with the picture of the Kia from CAR FAX, and he had to correct it. Made me wonder. If you buy a vehicle here, you better watch out, very closely, because I have no doubt, I would have been cheated, if they could have gotten by with it, in my opinion. It is a shame, that those who won't do things right, give the other salespeople a bad name. Those bad players have no conscience, in my opinion, and we should not let them get by with it.
The vehicle has a second key fob, that I was supposed to receive, but it is now, Dec. 20th, and I have, yet, to receive it. I have not received my car tags, and no one at the dealership seems to be trying to do anything about that, either. I contacted the General Manager, Theresa Hordge Martin, who came across, in writing, as she was going to correct everything to my satisfaction. However, she has not contacted me, again, though, she did send me the sale papers, that I never got to see on paper or review, before purchasing the vehicle, including the CAR FAX.
Later, I learned, Pierre was supposed to review the CAR FAX with me, and I was supposed to sign, that I understood it, as I had continually requested to see a copy of the Service History. Instead, Pierre brought out a paper, after a long wait for me to speak to financing, and he told me to initial it, and then, simply took it away. I never saw the CAR FAX to review, until the General Manager sent me the sale papers, about two weeks after the sale, which, I might add, contained unanswered blank spaces, and incorrect information, just as I wrote to her, after seeing it. Unfortunately, I did not hear from her, after that. I had even told Harry McKenzie, that I wanted to see the Service History. So, there is no doubt, he knew, I had not seen it. And as for the interst rate of my loan, which Pierre had told me was 8.5%; it turned out to be over 15%, which I was not told and shall have to have refinanced.
There is much more to this review, but a rating of one star should say it all.
So, do not let them have you electronically answer with your signature, when there is no way to read all you are signing. It's a gimmic and a scheme, in my opinion. I did catch one thing, and that was the incorrect price quote for the vehicle and extended warranty payment per month. How outrageous is that? I kept telling Harry, that I had no idea, what I was signing, as he continued to point to where I needed to continue to click. I told him, the system was making liars of us all.
I would like to help those who oversee the practices of car dealerships, who won't play ethically, be fined significantly and reported to the public for their bad deads. All is my opinion, but it is the absolute truth, just like me requesting Harry McKenzie in the Financing Department to cancel my extended warranty, as is my right, in the light of not believing that I could trust him. How sad is that? I contacted him to cancel it Dec. 5th, 2023, but he has yet to email me the form to do it, as he said, he would, and today is Dec. 20, 2023. In my opinion, you should avoid this dealership. My review will not end here, as this is just a part of the whole story involved, and you can believe, Greenway Ford has not heard the last from me. That said, those who are honest should be glad, I am doing this. read more
