Buyer Beware!!!
Please consider other honest, polite and professional dealers in the area. InTouch unfortunately plays into the stereotype of used car dealerships, using intimidation and deceitful tactics. The vehicle was misrepresented, we were lied to, and they were unwilling to be fair.
We purchased a truck from here that we found online, desperately needing a new one as our recent one was totaled. The deal was made, the truck was represented and they stated that if we paid the down payment ahead of time, they'd hold the truck and we could get it a few days later as we are not from the area. The first sketchy thing was that they asked for the deposit via Cash App - we went another route.
We flew down, baffled by the truck we were shown, as it did not reflect the photos. The closer we looked, the worse it got. We had no other means of getting back, and the truck seemed to drive really well. We convinced ourselves that cosmetics didn't matter, but we did mention it to AK (salesman) and Nomi (business manager). We went back and forth about the misrepresentation of it, the amount of money that would be needed to fix the things not shown in photos, etc. We were told multiple times that "we didn't have to buy it" and "they don't usually sell cars without people seeing them first." 1, that's an interesting sales approach. 2, well, you did!
We tried to make a deal, which then brought up the "no haggle policy." It got bad enough that Nomi wrote a check for the amount of the down payment, and rudely kept insisting we take it. When we asked why, the response was essentially, "we only want happy customers. We only want people to have a good experience with us. We want people to leave satisfied with their purchase." After a bit, we understood; "if you're not going to be a happy, satisfied customer with a good experience, then leave, don't buy the truck." When we mentioned the things wrong with the truck, the response was "this is not the truck for you." Without getting into every single detail, the theme of their responses was consistent: dishonest, insulting and offensive.
Before leaving, AK went to fill up the truck. He was gone for about 20 minutes and came back and said "the diesel pump he went to was too slow, so he's going to another one." As if that wasn't sketchy enough, he left again and was gone for over an hour, when there were multiple other options in the area. He returned with the truck and the E-brake was hanging from under the truck. We instantly said something and AK and Nomi said we couldn't prove that it wasn't like that before, and AK proceeded to ask if we were "accusing him of something." We decided we needed to just get out of there. We told them we weren't leaving happy and didn't appreciate the way they spoke to us, and were told "if you went to another dealership in the area they would've treated you much worse than we did."
We got home, brought the car to the mechanic, and found that there had been a serious oil leak, the tires, brakes and rotors were all had about 20% life left, shocks and struts need replacing.
They also told us they were taking care of registering the car and transferring the title. Two weeks after leaving the dealership and seeing nothing, we reached out, and were told that the controller was "having issues" so they would just send us the paperwork and we could go register it ourselves. What if we hadn't called? And what issues?
Today, we found a puddle of transmission fluid under the truck, which sparked this review. The whole experience was a nightmare. We of course have regrets now, and wish we made some different decisions, but want to save someone else from being disrespected and taken advantage of. read more
