On January 3, 2025, I submitted an inquiry for a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer advertised at $34,232. I was contacted by Allen Reeves and scheduled an appointment that same evening, where I met with salesperson Kevin Shepard. I traveled approximately 175 miles to the dealership with my brother, Lewis. After a test drive, we began discussing the purchase.
I informed Kevin that I had pre-arranged financing through Mount Olive Baptist Church Federal Credit Union. He stated the dealership might secure better terms, and I agreed to allow them to try. Due to the three-hour return trip, we agreed to continue the transaction remotely, and I was introduced to finance officer Logan, who discussed loan terms.
On January 5, 2026, after the dealership failed to provide acceptable financing, I informed Kevin I would proceed with my credit union and requested a purchase order. When I received it, the vehicle price had increased from approximately $34,000 to about $39,000. When I questioned this, Kevin stated via text that the increase was due to documentation fees and TTL.
On January 6, 2026, at 12:47 PM, Kevin sent a message stating: "Your OTD price after Doc Fee and TTL is $39,295.50. This includes all available discounts to you."
On January 9, 2026, the dealership and my credit union completed the paperwork, and the vehicle was delivered on January 10, 2026.
On February 12, 2026, after not receiving permanent registration, I contacted Kevin, who advised me to contact the DMV. When I contacted the Oklahoma DMV, I was informed I would need to provide the title, proof of purchase, and pay taxes to register the vehicle. This conflicted with my understanding that TTL had been included in my purchase price.
Upon reviewing my purchase documents, I confirmed there was no line item showing TTL had been paid. I contacted the dealership and attempted to reach Logan but did not receive a response.
On February 16, 2026, I spoke with Jennifer Lamb in the finance department. She stated that when customers use outside financing, the dealership does not pay TTL. This policy had never been disclosed to me. I informed her that I had written confirmation from Kevin stating TTL was included. She requested the messages, which I emailed to her. She stated she would follow up but never returned my call.
On February 20, 2026, I left a voicemail and sent a follow-up email. I received no response.
On February 24, 2026, I reached Ms. Lamb again and was transferred to her director, who stated there was nothing he could do and redirected me to a sales manager. I was transferred again but did not receive any resolution or follow-up.
On March 3, 2026, after continued lack of response, I contacted the dealership again and was informed by a salesperson that the dealership has a policy of increasing the vehicle price by $2,000 if financing is not completed through them. This was the first time this policy was disclosed, despite the dealership's prior knowledge that I intended to use outside financing.
Because my temporary registration was about to expire and I needed to remain compliant, I was forced to pay TTL out of pocket. Due to delays caused by the dealership's lack of communication, I also incurred penalties from the State of Texas.
My out-of-pocket expenses were:
Texas sales tax (6.25%): $2,264.50
Penalties and title transfer fees: $113.23
Registration fees: $78.25
Total: $2,513.98
I believe Norman Hyundai misrepresented the terms of the sale, failed to disclose critical financing-related pricing policies, and did not honor the quoted out-the-door price, which explicitly included TTL in written communication. Additionally, the dealership failed to provide proper documentation or assistance and did not respond to multiple attempts to resolve the issue.
Despite repeated efforts over several weeks, I have received no resolution. read more
