Dealership Sales Review
If it seems too good to be true, it must be fraud, right? I should have known better, but after seeing several curiously low-priced new cars listed by this dealership I took the bait and drove over an hour to see if I could snag a deal. Of course, I had tried to chat online, email, and call first, but each person had insisted that they were not able to confirm the price of any car or which incentives I might qualify for unless I was there in person. Yes, I know. I still fell for it. Upon arrival, the salesman, who was not one of the previous three people to whom we had spoken, discovered that the car we had inquired about less than 24 hours earlier was sold. And he wasn't sure what the other two listings on Autotrader were (as if Autotrader doesn't get these listings as paid ads from the dealership). Never fear, he would see what else they had....after collecting a little information from us. Then he insisted we go on a test drive even though he had 'no way of knowing' what the price of the car was that he insisted we drove. After a short, silent, awkward test drive, we again asked for a price. He insisted on our trade-in info. We gave some basic info & said he had 10 minutes to provide a price for the vehicle. We had been there for 1.5hrs and hadn't even been provided with an accurate price yet. He was gone for more than 10 minutes, so we left and didn't hear from him the rest of the day. I believe back in the day, they called this the old bait-and-switch. Don't fall for it folks. I will be reporting them to the BBB.
