Dealership Sales Review

2020 Rubicon
Written by Tex Rubicon on 01/19/2023

This was a bit of a mixed bag of experience. I looked up the vehicle online and called to make sure it was still in inventory. I then had to make and appointment. I then received two calls back to verify my appointment. I arrived, took a look at the Jeep and then took it for a test drive. Since this was a fixed price dealership, there is no price negotiation. I then put a deposit on the vehicle. One would think this would be a very fast process, well, it isn't. I was at the dealership for about 2 hours, including the over 20 min wait to see the "finance" guy. I came back later in the week to pick up the Jeep and had been told it was ready. (As part of the sales agreement, I had the dealership fix one of the visors). As I was about to go make payment, the salesperson came back and told me the visor hadn't been repaired yet but the part was ordered and would be in soon. I was very upset. I had driven an hour to get to the dealership already, now I am being told that I would have to come back and wait for a visor to be repaired (i.e. replaced). I was more upset about being lied to in regard to the Jeep being ready. I left without taking possession of the Jeep. I started to look for another Jeep, but was contacted by the dealership to let me know the visor had been repaired. Along the way, I did drive another Jeep but it wasn't a good fit for what I wanted. I was greeted upon my arrival and was asked again to wait for a finance person. I reviewed the paperwork, took the Jeep on another test drive, and then signed a personal check for the balance. The dealership ran a credit check on me to make sure the check was good. A day or so later, I noticed a very small chip and crack in the windshield. I reached out to the dealership and they referred me to a local (to them) glass repair shop that took a look at it. While the shop could not effect a repair, the dealership at least tried. in summary, the dealership/salesperson made a misstep but apologized and tried to make good, although an offer to pay for gas or time wasn't in the cards.
