Bob Caldwell Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram
Dealership Sales Review
Five years age our son got a great deal from Bob Caldwell on a Ram 1500. When our former lease was up we decided to give them a shot. We were treated very well and were happy with a lease on a Ram 1500 as well. In June, we had two vehicles that were leases and needed to be turned in. We re-leased a Grand Cherokee and a Wrangler through Bob Caldwell. We negotiated the terms and felt that we had been treated fairly again. One month later we were being contacted by Chrysler Capital in reference to an outstanding balnce on both the vehicles that were turned in. We were told that everything would be taken care of when we turned them over to the Dealer (Bob Caldwell). There was one month remaining on the previous leases. The past due balance with Chrysler Cap totaled about $1800. This included a $395 Disposition fee that is charged if you don't release a Chrysler product. We did. We leased two Chrysler vehicles. I made several attempts to contact the sales person and the response was "I'll check on that. I'm just in sales, I'm not a numbers guy". Or it was, "Sometimes that takes 30 days to show up. It will be alright". The calls continued from Chrysler Cap. On 7/30/19 I tried again to get an answer from Bob Caldwell. I started with the sales person. He promised he would talk to the finance person. No one called me back. After several more calls I spoke with a finance person. The reply was "I don't see anything on here that said we would make the final payments. Let me talk with my manager". No call back. I called again, sent to voicemail. a couple of hours later I received a call from a finance manager. He said stay by your phone, the sales person would be calling. He called to inform us that Bob Caldwell was not responsible for making the final payments. When I asked about the $395 we were charged for not releasing he said the finance mgr had never heard of anything like that. I was able to get that taken off myself with Chrysler Cap. Bottom line is we paid the outstanding balance to Chrysler and Bob Caldwell lost a life long customer.
