I can't say for sure if these guys are shady but it sure feels like it. Went in to purchase a car. Whole processed felt a bit rushed. I was taken out to the car, wasn't given any info about it, just kind of left to figure it out on my own. I now know why, but I'll get to that in a moment. Anyway, the whole negotiation process was smooth. My wife and I did our application and got a call the next day saying we had been approved for the price we wanted at a great interest rate. Apparently the sales person did us a favor and pulled some strings but it seemed too good to be true. Went back to sign everything and decided to take a second look at the car and test drive it. When I drove it, there was a strong smell of mold or mildew- Red flag #1. I waved it off, not really expecting a new car smell. When I got back to the dealer, upon further inspection, literally every metal part inside the vehicle was covered completely in RUST! Red flag #2. Not only that, the carpet was wet and smelled of strong mildew. I went and asked my sales person straight up had this car ever been flooded. He tells me no and points out the vehicle history report that states that it had never been in an accident and had a clean title. However, that could not be considered a strong confidence booster because the car had clearly been in an accident because there was sketchy body work on the front bumper. Nonetheless, we go outside with the manager to inspect the car. And after about five minutes of them trying to give me an excuse for every reason this car had clear signs of flood damage (the worst was they claimed the wet carpet was from having it cleaned however, having sat in it the day before, it clearly had not been cleaned and the wet substance smelled not like cleaning products but of mildew) the salesman finally says to all of these claims - "well I'll take $500 off the price". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? $500 in exchange for hoping that I'll take your flood damaged car and be on my way? I think not. At that point I left promising to return with my mechanic but before I could get him there, he confirmed over the phone that a 3 year old car should not have that much rust on the interior if there was not water inside. I took my business elsewhere. However, whether these guys knew the real story behind what happened to this vehicle or not, I'm not sure. Whether they tried to cover up the flood damager or the previous owner, I have no clue and I won't accuse them of doing so. All I know is that when I brought up these facts, things got shady real fast. Based off of this experience and other reviews of them selling cars only to have damage later on, if you are in the market for a used car, don't take the cheap route out like I did by trying to go through one of these smaller dealers. Find a big named, family owned dealership. As much as I hate some of the sales tactics and no doubt sometimes they are just as shady, the chances of a situation like this occurring are much less. Sucks because the sales person seemed like a nice guy. read more
