Dealership Sales Review
Drove 45 minutes to test drive a car advertised on their website at a phenomenal price. To our shock, the sales rep quoted a price $3,000 higher than what was on the website the night before. When questioned, he admitted online prices had gone up that morning due to Hurricane Matthew. He said auction vehicles were anticipated to increase due to rental companies holding onto them longer, thus creating a supply vs demand situation. Despite this perceived attempt at price gouging, we liked the car and moved into negotiations. We left after only a separation of a few hundred dollars and due to the treatment of our sales rep. He was repeatedly condescending and meeting our remarks with a level of passive aggressiveness that was off putting. We were told our offer wasn't going to be taken "to the tower" for manager review because it would be denied. So, we left with the understanding if the price dropped, I'd return. Less than a week later, our rep called asking to reopen negotiations and we had a deal. I was told paperwork would be ready and financing set the next day. I arrived as scheduled and proceeded to wait 1.5 hours in the dealership lobby, check in hand. I approached my sales rep to inquire about the delay. Without even looking up, he told me to "speak to the lady in the tower" and pointed over his shoulder. Off I went and found that finance had my paperwork ready. After signing, my rep met me in the lobby with the set of keys and said "We've kept you long enough. Here's the keys. Your car is parked over there." Again, he points over his shoulder to the parking lot. Not once did I receive a handshake from him or a "Thank You" for your business. I was left to go over my car alone, without assistance . The car was missing floor mats but I was too upset at this point to go back inside and bother him any further. I contacted the General Manager the next business day and received a response via email that he would be in touch soon after researching my complained. . That was on Oct. 24 and he still hasn't responded. Not impressed with their customer service skills.
