DO NOT FINANCE WITHIN PRIORITY INFINITI!
***MILITARY BEWARE IF YOU ARE REGISTERING IT OUT OF STATE!***
Four trips, two loans (the first loan amount and tax rate was WRONG), four paper plates, and 89 DAYS LATER I FINALLY RECEIVED MY PLATES FOR A CERTIFIED 2021 INFINITI! It is terrible when you consider and ask the general manager for a REFUND.
26June2022 from get-go my relationship with Infiniti was not the best, as I was informed from the sales' rep that the sales' manager would not go down on the price of the 2021 Q50, but going to "Raise the price on 01July2022" as it was going to be a new month. My family has purchased three brand new Infiniti's from other dealerships and never told this especially with this rudeness.
30June2022 I get a call from the salesman that they are willing to go down as it is the last day of the month, now I am felt like a yo-yo but at this point continue the deal. That evening we race to the dealership and meet Vince, the finance manager, and this was the worst of it. I handed him my driver's license and he misspelled my name not once, not twice, but THREE times and had to re-print on the spot. After we had my name correct, he then MISPELLED my street name TWO TIMES, and after a total time of THREE TIMES with him we left and were on our way.
Roughly on approximately 30July2022 I receive a call from Vince (finance manager) saying he made a MISTAKE on the math and tax information. So now the loan was going to be paid off but I needed to go BACK IN AND RE SIGN new documents. As we were about to hang up I asked if the payment was going to go up by any amount, and he said yes it was going to go up $18 a month, so misleading and ONLY INFORMED ME AS I ASKED.
Roughly on approximately 03August2022 I spoke to the general manager Dave Catacora to explain my lack of confidence in running back to Chesapeake now that I located over the bridge. He apologized and offered to refill a free tank of gas, which was a kind gesture, but I am still unsure how that is supposed to solve an incorrect loan calculation and now my payment going up by 18$ for 60 months. Needless to say, I went in and asked Vince If I needed to do anything on my end or when my payment would be due. He said just follow up with my bank in a few weeks or so. I got my tank of gas along with my new HIGHER payment, I also asked Vince for my second pair of paper plates as my previous ones were expired.
Roughly on approximately 30August2022 Vince called me and explained that I now owed not my bank but, Priority Infiniti $523. I laughed and asked what exactly for (again I had to ask all the details since he continues to leave them out) and he explained to not delay or get a "late payment" they (PRIORITY INFINITI) paid my monthly payment for August and now I owed the dealership. I told him I was not going to pay this, and they needed to figure this out, as my loan (number one) was showed paid off and I did not currently have a second loan. This was never explained even when I ASKED all of these questions prior, Vince then proceeding to let me speak with the GM Dave Catacora again.
When speaking to Mr. Catacora (AGAIN) later that day, he tended to not really have a response and I felt like I was annoying him. I explained that this was truly a nightmare process from the get go and now Vince was asking for a "payment" that he "made" and when I explained that this made no sense as I called my bank and it did not correlate. I vividly remember him asking me point blank, and this is the part that got me "What do you want me to do?". So instead of offering to refund this to me, or show adequate proof, or even call the bank on a phone call I just explained I was not paying it and MY PLATES WERE EXPIRED (now needed my THIRD PAIR OF PAPERPLATES). He later called me back and apologized and overnighted me my plates. I explained I was relocating to Florida and needed my plates forwarded to my Florida address, and I gave him the address.
24September2022 again, I had to call Priority Infiniti from Florida (active duty Navy now relocated to Florida) asking about my plates. Come to find out they had not contacted Texas DMV to find and update. Priority Infiniti has been a TRUE HEADACHE since the start. I DO NOT recommend this dealership to ANYONE and am puzzled how they are even a dealership, especially a LUXURY dealership at that.
27September2022 (89 days later) I finally received my plates.
Priority NEVER provided the feeling or customer service of being a "priority". read more
