STAY AWAY!!! I was looking for a car for my daughter and found a 2010 VW Tiguan for sale advertised by Swan auto in www.carsforsale.com. I made my offer to the dealership via the website 2 days ago and receive a counter offer. we went back and forth and I ended up calling the dealership the next day. I spoke with a woman and she confirmed that she was the one exchanging messages with me via carsforsale.com website. We discussed the price again and came to an all cash price agreement for $6300.00. I told her that I live over an hour away from the dealership and that I will be driving to Roscoe to pick up the car the next day. I took a day off work and I decided to call the dealership to make sure the car as well as the lady I spoke with and made a deal with will be present by the time I arrive. I called several times between 10 and 11:30 AM CST and I was going straight to VM. I left a voice message letting her know that I will be driving to the dealership to pick up the car. While I was on the Expressway driving towards Roscoe, I received a text message from her stating that she will be at the dealership at 1 PM CST. After driving for over an hour and by the time I got to within 1 mile from the dealership, I received a call from a guy who said his name is Bogdan and he said, using his words, " If you're coming to pick up the VW Tiguan, I will not sell it for less than $7K and if you're not going to pay that amount, turn around and go back to wherever you came from". I thought that was incredibly rude and unprofessional. A deal is a deal!!! If this person does not have the decency to honor a deal, at least he should've let me know before I drove all the way to Roscoe.
For everyone's information, the 2010 VW Tiguan has been sitting in the dealership's lot since March 2016. Now, I know why. It's probably because of Bogdan's lack of character, professionalism and decency.
The good news is that on my way back home, I stopped at Napleton Buick dealership in Schaumburg and bought my daughter the same exact car for a great price with 30K less miles.
Good luck to all. read more
