Rodney and the team will tell you whatever you need to hear to make the sale, but unfortunately, they don't seem interested in standing behind what they promise.
Before purchasing a used car, I specifically asked that the vehicle be within the lower-state sales-tax range. I was assured that it was. The same day we purchased the car, I got home and saw that they were running a "sales tax paid" promotion on ALL used cars. I called to ask why we didn't receive that promotion and was told our sales tax would only be 3.5%--roughly $315. I was also told the cost to repair a part on the car would be around $500. Based on that information, we moved forward.
Unfortunately, we later discovered that what we were told about the vehicle qualifying for the lower sales-tax rate was not true. We are now out substantially more money than what we were told we would be paying.
I called and spoke with Rodney on Wednesday. He told me, "We'll make it right. I'll call you tomorrow." He never called.
I called Friday morning and asked for Rodney. I gave my name and was put on hold for 14 minutes, only for the call to eventually disconnect. I called back and spoke with Joey, who said Rodney had just gone to lunch and would call me as soon as he returned. Five hours later, there was still no call.
I called back using a different name, and suddenly Rodney answered immediately.
When I explained the situation and what we had been promised, his response was essentially, "We can agree to disagree." He then said, "It's all under camera in the finance office." I explained that the conversation about what we were being promised happened in his office, where he and Joey/Jody had us agree to and sign the paperwork and credit approval. Rodney then admitted they apparently don't have a camera in that office.
What makes this especially disappointing is that Rodney came across as extremely Godly and trustworthy during the two hours we spent with him while purchasing the vehicle. Unfortunately, our experience afterward did not match that impression.
I am extremely disappointed--not just because of the additional money we are now out, but because of how this situation was handled when I tried to get answers.
**My recommendation: look elsewhere if you want a dealership that will stand behind what its employees tell you before you sign.** I would not want another customer to go through what we did. read more
