Dealership Sales Review

HORRIBLE
Written by mamab3 on 07/26/2015
I will say this over and over and over to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. Do NOT go to VanDevere Kia. We did deal with one nice person in finance. As for the salesman we dealt with..... HORRIBLE. He went from being the nicest person ever to the most horrible person ever. We were looking at a 2013 Kia Sorento. Told we were only approved for a 2016 optima or sportage by the lender. We declined those and were ready to leave and then all of the sudden the lender approved the 2013 Sorento. Weird, but okay. We expressed the $ amount we were not willing to go over several times to the salesman and he assured us that he would get it where we were asking. After a few hours at the dealer he told us we could take it home for the night to be sure we liked it. So we did. Returned with it after my husband got off of work the next day ready to talk payments.... first offer was a little over $600 per month! What?! Needless to say we declined. Salesman got very angry and became a completely different person and even sarcastically said "well I sure hope you enjoyed having it for the night" and then told us that we were "very unrealistic " in what we were looking to spend each month on a car payment and that no matter where we go the interest rate would not get any lower (still unclear what their actual lowest came back as. One person said 16% and one said 18%.) And then to top it all off, they managed to run my credit 16 times as a hard check. Talked to TransUnion and the dealership successfully dropped my credit score 10 points (this being after I was assured they would only run it through their best 2-3 lenders). Spoke with a couple people after this and have been told I would hear from the GM.... that has yet to happen. Joke is on them. I will be signing papers at Great Lakes Honda tomorrow. With a payment that vandevere said would never happen and a percentage rate they could never get. It's okay, I'll drive it on over for you all to see. Maybe the salesman I dealt with at your dealership should learn from my new salesman
