Total class, two thumbs-up. Although I did not purchase a vehicle, George was very helpful and did not try to "shove" me into a vehicle. I would recommend this dealership to all friends and family.

I accompanied my fiancee to buy her a new car. We were assisted by Brent Cox. Brent guided us through the sales process like a true expert and gentleman. He answered any questions that we had. And if he c assisted by Brent Cox. Brent guided us through the sales process like a true expert and gentleman. He answered any questions that we had. And if he could not answer the questions, he got the sales manager or EVEN the store manager to answer our questions. We ended up getting a great deal on a brand new Nissan Altima thanks to Brent.

I purchased a vehicle from the above referenced dealership in December 2009, and was informed at the time of contract signing that I was approved for financing after the finance manager ran my cred dealership in December 2009, and was informed at the time of contract signing that I was approved for financing after the finance manager ran my credit. I was then contacted a week later and told that I needed to sign a new contract because they had gotten me a lower payment. Then, two weeks later, I was told to return the newly purchased vehicle to the dealership because I had not abided by the "stipulations" in the contract and my financing was declined. Oddly enough, I was not informed of any stipulations other than a requirement for paystubs, to which I immediately provided over fax. There was no mention of any other requirements at either of the TWO contract signings. I later found out that my application was declined by the lender because Coggin failed to contact them in a timely manner. The deal was submitted to the lender in early Decemeber 2009, but Coggin neglected to contact them to discuss any additional "stipulations" until December 29,2009 (several weeks later). When I spoke with the lender, they stated that they ultimately closed the application due to Coggin's failure to act. Coggin continued to run my credit without my express authorization with numerous banks. Also during the conversation on December 29, 2009, regarding the return of the vehicle that I had purchased,I was told by the General Manager that my traded in vehicle was not paid off and would be returned to me. Again, this was several weeks after the original purchase transaction, and well after the promised 10 day payoff on my traded in vehicle, and now I was placed in the position of making the December car payment since I was told that my first payment on the new vehicle would not be until January 25, 2010. They basically kept my vehicle for the month of December, while I was forced to adjust my budget due to their incompetence, as I had thought they had already paid it off. It would have been much appreciated if they had told me that the deal may not go through due to financing, so that I could make my car payment in time, but all along they told me that financing was already done and "guaranteed." This was the first of many lies that came from the mouth of the General Manager. Finally, when I went to retrieve my traded in vehicle, I noticed that the rear window on my was missing and the entire carpeting and floorboard was soaked from rain and smelled of mildew. When I inquired as to the missing window's whereabouts, the General Manager became defensive and claimed that it was not there when he appraised my vehicle in Decembe 2009. When I asked for documentation showing that he had noted this in his appraisal, he refused to meet my request and became agitated. He then stated that I should be "thankful because he spent $1100 in putting new tires on the vehicle," when in fact I actually purchased the tires to which he was referring in January 2009, with a Sears receipt in the glove box as proof of my purchase. Then, as the General Manager was obviously caught in a lie and did not know how to react, the Used Sales Manager attempted to come to the General Manager's defense by mumbling insults at me as both men scampered back into the showroom like children. The General Manager and Used Sales Manager conducted themselves unprofessionally and lack any integrity whatsoever, and were obviously afraid to speak man to man when confronted about their lies. Coggin took poor care of my vehicle while it was in their possession, then the General Manager subsequently tried to lie about it to cover it up and avoid accountability. A day after these events, the General Manager was obviously bored at work and frustrated about being recognized as a liar, as he continuously contacted me by email in a blatant attempt to instigate an argument. Unfortunately, I stooped to the General Manager's level and hurled an insult of my own, but felt it was well deserved after his actions (or lack thereof) over the past month. When told to cease and desist all contact with me, the General Manager continued to harass me for no legitimate purpose. These individuals are clearly a poor representation of the Coggin dealership. They are deceptive and unprofessional, lacking in honesty, integrity and character. I would not advise anyone to purchase a vehicle from Coggin Nissan at the Avenues. More
