Quirk Kia

Almost bought a car from this company, but, thankfully it didn't work out. My daughter was looking for her first new car. I told her to look around at the various manufacturers and find what she wanted while I was on a business trip. She fell in love with the Kia Soul and went to Quirk several times to talk with the salesman about it. We arrived at Quirk at 6:10 PM. I wanted take a quick 5 minute ride in it to make sure it had enough pep to get out of its own way. Satisfied, we went back to Quirk to do the paperwork. They wouldn't do much dealing, but there was a small rebate and low interest financing available as long as the car was purchased in my name. First, I was asked to sign a blank contract. They told me it didn't mean anything. After I insisted they fill in pricing, they finally agreed. They also wanted me to sign a paper stating that I give them permission to turn over my nonpublic information to third parties. They claimed it was so I could get coupons for service, etc., but that's not what the form said. Again, I refused. By now, it was 8:10 and the salesman told me that he had bad news. The car I wanted was across the street in their lot and the attendants went home at 8:00. The salesman knew how much my daughter wanted the car so I asked why he didn't have the car brought over before 8:00. He said he couldn't until certain paperwork was done. I couldn't believe that. If it's a matter of selling a car or not selling a car, I would think there's a way that could be done. So, needless to say, my daughter was very upset. We were headed back to our house to get a document I had forgotten and were going to go back to finish the paperwork when I decided to call a competitor. He said he had the car in stock, so we picked up the document and drove straight there. What a pleasure to do business with this other dealer. We bought the car there, got a better price on a car that had several options, and discovered that Quirk hadn't even given us the best rebate that Kia was offering! If Quirk was the last car dealer on Earth, I'd ride a bicycle.
