We made the two hour drive to buy the car. We arrived and took a test drive and then sat down to buy the car. Surprise!! "Oh... oops... I made a mistake. The price is now over $7,000.00 more." WHAT?? Umm, NO. Time for a manager. The manager sat with us and confirmed that, "yes, the salesman made a mistake. Sorry but let's still sell you the car for the new, higher price!" You might imagine several of the four-letter words we wanted to say. Well, Screw That! We walked out of the dealership and fumed over this trickery for our two hour drive back home.
So to anyone that wants to hear it, the warning is there! This dealership, knowing that you're driving a long distance to get there, sets up a BAIT AND SWITCH price with the hope that since you drove the distance you would go ahead and purchase the car. Now, knowing that the salesperson "made a mistake", you might think the manager would offer at least some sort of negotiation on the price? What a company might want to do to make things right after a proclaimed "mistake". ANY sort of consideration on the final price? ANY sort of compensation for a two hour drive and their mistake? Heck, how about fifty cents for a soda? A dime to buy some penny-candy? Something? Anything? Nope! Just smiles.
So beware!! If you think (as we did) that car prices might be "greener on the other side of the big city fence", this place isn't the place to go. This dealership seems to BAIT AND SWITCH their pricing and seems to prey on the hope that after a long drive the customer might settle for whatever price they decide to give you. That, or they don't give a rat's a$$ that they made a mistake, that you have texted proof, of a price, and that you verified the price at least three times. Avoid!
