On Thursday 10/08/2020, I was looking around to buy used car, and I went to Nissan website and went to used car section, I found Toyota sienna 2019 with $26,226 (by cash), I contacted the dealer and got the message saying coming to location address 3131 32nd Ave NE at 7 PM to see a guy called W.
When I got there, there is no guy name W. I talked to the receptionist, I found out I needed to go to another location closed to it around 26 ST SE. It seemed like Nissan company connected with another company for used car using their name and good reputation (disappointed with Nissan - I used to have Nissan Juke - Never buy Nissan again).
I went to used car SUNDRIGE NISSAN dealership and I met another guy called A, he was a nice guy but he told me all details about used Toyota Sienna 2019. Everything looked great in the paper like engine, electronic, vvv... When I got the price of the car, he calculated all fee included the DOC fee that is about $899. The manager gave me $200 discount but I did not like it.
On Friday 10/09/2020, the price was going up $29,999. I called back the guy A and he said he would honor the original price ($26,226) with one condition I must buy Toyota Sienna with finance minimum 6 months (cost me $300 more). I felt ridiculous like he tried to earn money by forcing me to get finance even I had enough money to pay off.
I looked the car again and I found there was a hole in the front car ( a guy called A fixed as he promised) but he lied about the other things such as 2 head rest. I and my wife asked him, headrest was missing or not, he said NO NO NO, they were in the back with all winter wheels covered them. I was so stupid to trust this guy. I went over all details about process of buying and trading.
A guy called A traded in my Nissan Juke 2016 SL (45,000 km) for $13,500 ( I expected it $15,000) and got the Toyota Sienna 2019 SL for 26,000. I have to pay for the rest with my finance around 14,000 with tax included. I deposited $500 for Toyota Sienna 2019 LE. I finished the process of selling Juke 2016 SL and buying Toyota Sienna 2019 LE with a dream there is no trouble with Toyota Sienna 2019 LE and deposit $500 to keep the car.
On Saturday 10/10/2020 I went in to see finance guy called L, and he asked me to buy more stuff such as Paint Protection, Rush Protection but I did not buy them. And then he sold me another one Extended warranty at the beginning 2,560 and then finally $1585 for (6 years or 80 thousand km), he did not mention anything about the interest rate until I asked him how much, he told me 7.9%. and I asked why website saying only 5.99%, and he said it is the best he could offer and asked me to sign the paper work and got the $500 deposit refund.
I got the Van and drove home and hope there was nothing wrong. When I got home, things were getting worry, I found out there was a missing head rest and check charging system message. I said to guy A who should keep his words to give me the head rest and fix the issue with the message. He said NO WORRY (LIE again).
On Tuesday 10/13/2020, I took one day off to send my car to used car SUNDRIGE NISSAN, and hope they would fix all mentioned issues because I saw 30 policy. (Don't trust it, it does not exist). When I got the car back, all things were the same, missing head rest, the message was there too (wasted my day). And I got a new message "Low Tire", that was funny when the manager said I could go to gas station to fill up myself (services were low), and another promise, they would call me in another day to tell me about the cost for missing headrest. LOL. I were tired to argue with them so I left SUNDRIDGE NISSAN with all disappointed.
In my opinion, you should not trust any word from dealer or manager, all about LIE, they just try to earn money by telling it. I am okay to spend money with all cost like missing head rest, or send my car to Toyota to check all engine, vv. which were mentioned in their document. ( LOL pay $699 for nothing).
If you buy used car, you should make sure you check everything yourself and your mechanic before signing paper work. DON'T TALK TO DEALER. read more
