Import Masters

***** This review might not show up as I see google took it off from reviews, and the guy named Darryl called me right after I left this review and questioned me why would I leave such review***** I will be honest and fare, went to see this dealer (European Masters or MastersNY.com) after scheduling an appointment to see the car of my choice but they had no info which car I had requested via their website even though I was told on the phone same day by “Marian” (with nice voice to attract customers to showroom) that it’s available, my fault was I had not noted down the stock number from the website. Sales person was “Darryl”, nothing against him honestly but he talks to much. Luckily I had stock numbers with me of other similar cars which I requested to see them at the dealership but I was told they were sold as well, FYI any car stock number on their website which has “S” at the end means sold, fare enough may be dealer is too busy to take down all those sold listing or they might want to show higher number of cars in stock, I am giving them benefit of doubt that they are very busy, although those online prices being competitive with higher number of cars in stock will bring customers to the dealership surely. Now the real tricky part, the prices on website are only to lure you to the dealership, those numbers means nothing or other way around add minimum $100 on top of that number to your monthly payments, that will be the real number of your payments for the car which you might be interested in, again nothing wrong with that but it’s just misleading, some people will be coming from far just to find out those online payments are not real or they are balloon payments (as I was told). Balloon financing basically means lump sum balloon payment at end of finance term results in lower monthly payments than standard financing. Final balloon payment must be paid in full by cash payment or financing arrangement. Locked into making payments for the duration of the lease - no option of paying it off early. This dealership has another trick in their hands which personally I liked because it gives some kind of satisfaction after getting a discount automatically and it saves you from a pain of car price bargaining but unfortunately it blocks you out from getting any more discounts, they start pricing cars with higher number (as they did with me) then would drop it down little bit on their own making an excuse like, I liked you or we are from same ethnicity or I am Republican or Democrats depending on what you believe in or any reason to show that you are getting a deal but who knows what’s the real deal is, some car might have accidents reported on them, you don’t get a clear picture but again to the their honesty I should say some cars does have carfax history report on their website but I didn’t telly car’s vin number mentioned in the report to the existing one at the dealership, I believe it is none of my business unless I am really going to buy one. (kelley blue book is the best source to find out the real value used or new, from the dealer or owners directly). At the end if any business starts with unclear info that simply tells me it’s not practicing a fare trade, some fall for it and some don’t, some people might have got a deal those who left 5 star ratings or could be paid review as some reviewers mentioned that but the best way to find out is to try yourself by visiting this dealer and compare with others. Be visionary, don’t fall for tricks & baits, be safe!
