I give this dealership a big ZERO!! I've never in my life have had this HORRIBLE experience before, EVER when purchasing a vehicle! It started off with a salesman name Thomas, he took my son for a test drive in 2 vehicles with my husband present. He showed no enthusiasm, enjoyment, or knowledge of being a salesman. When asked if the price was NEGOTIABLE, he indicated NO! Stated "Just like the gas prices are going up, so are the used cars, so the price is what it is". Then he try to convince me to run my credit again since I told him I was pre approved through my credit union. He wanted me to go with one of the dealership banks. I told him I was happy with my percentage from my credit union. Then when I asked him for an out of door price on one of the vehicles, he comes back indicating that the doc fee was going to be $300. Told him that I've never paid that price before, so I told him no I'm not paying that price, got up, & left. He said ok, bye. Which I felt he obviously didn't want the sale & could care less that I walked out the door.
So I decided to give it another shot with a manager in the sales department, well LOW & BEHOLD, AJ & Sebastian are just as bad. I drove 4 days later back to the dealership that's over 1 hour away. AJ told me the car that I was interested in was 15 minutes away in one of their storage lots. The car will be at the dealership when I arrive. Well my son & I get there, the car that I was interested in was still not at the dealership. One manager told me someone had the keys that were an hour away, & the other manager told me that the storage place was an hour away. Then when asked for the buyers order for my credit union, they put a whole different vehicle on it, with a different price. I COULD NOT believe how UNPROFESSIONAL this dealership was. I felt like I was being pranked or something. The manager Sebastian said that they needed the check in their hands from the credit union. So I did everything that was asked on my end, but when it came to them getting what I needed, it was always a long story. Just like when I asked for a car-fax on the vehicle, they took over a day. I called them, AJ said that the CarFax website is down. So he couldn't get it at the moment, yet he didn't communicate that with me at all. So that was the last & final straw with that WEST CHICAGO MALL CAR DEALERSHIP!! I will be looking & purchasing elsewhere.
They probably feel like they can make more money off of someone that's going to use their banks & increase the interest rate so they can make a good profit! Also since there's a shortage in USED vehicles, they can spike up the prices too & make even more money. Which is completely fine with me, they could of just been HONEST & let me go elsewhere.
They knew I had experience with the car buying industry, so they tried to play me. I hope everyone that read this review, really takes going into that DEALERSHIP very serious!!! If I had a different kind of experience, my review would of been extremely DIFFERENT!! STAY AWAY FROM dealerships that don't care about being PROFESSIONAL, POOR COMMUNICATION, & GIVES YOU A RUN AROUND WITH LIES!!! read more
