After numerous phone calls with the Dealership, we made the 70 mile drive to their location. We were met outside by a salesman who ushered us into the showroom upon our request to speak with the Internet sales lady. When she came to us we were informed that the salesman we met would be taking over. OK, I noticed a sticker on a window stating” Ask us about how you can get a new grill” OK, I asked and was immediately informed that was for people who paid FULL sticker price for a vehicle.
Things progressed downhill from there. The vehicle we were to purchase NEW was going to arrive the next day with approx. 700 miles on it after being driven up from Charleston, SC we requested a vehicle with less than 50 miles, new not used. The Finance man then got involved, this was not necessary as we were to be using KIA 0% finance as discussed with the Internet saleslady, she forgot. So they shopped our credit around to 8 places in less than 5 minutes, credit score dropped of course.
Long story short, we made a 3 hour 140 mile waste of time on their pitch of a better deal which the wheels came off of quickly. I would not recommend this dealership and especially not the Finance manager. Used Car salesman have a reputation that is not flattering to them or others in their profession, he fit this category to a Tee.
We purchased the same day at Monroe KIA and the salesman, finance manager and final sign off person were great.
I generally do not leave feedback but this was one time that others need to know before they waste their time also.
