Jeff we understand the frustration but your description of what happened Is not completely accurate. We had two Hyundai Santa Fe models. A sport- the one you had the quote on, and a different trim level- the model still in stock. Same color exterior and interior. Simple mistake on behalf of our staff and for that I apologize. We did in fact deliver the sport on Friday but on weekends it can take a day or two to come off of the website. I can assure you that no one on our team would intentionally "bait and switch" you. We have been in business for over 33 years and we don't need to deploy those sort of tactics to succeed. What happened is unfortunate and I am sure Laurie felt horrible, but making the implication that we are dishonest or that any of this was done purposely to trick you is just way off base. We are a dealership. We sell vehicles every day. That vehicle had been reduced recently and there were several parties interested in it. None of this makes your experience any more pleasant, and we understand that. I am assuming that based on your review you would never conduct business with us, but we do have access to other Santa Fe Sports with similar miles and equipment in that price range and we would be happy to help you find one. I am really sorry for all of the confusion and the time exhausted here. Please reach out if there is anything we can do to help. -Andy Carr, General Manager

Hello Shopper 221. We appreciate the feedback. Our business is changing. When we research, survey, ask our customers what they like and dislike about car buying our customers always tell us that they hate the "back and forth" that goes on at the dealership. A little secret about us- WE DON'T LIKE IT EITHER! So over the last couple of years we have sought to eliminate pain points in the car buying process and make it easier. The reaction has mostly been favorable- we are selling and servicing more cars than ever, but there are still some who like to negotiate. The truth is that what matters the most when trading is the trade difference. It's true, if we offer a rock bottom price on our vehicle as we did here for you, we can't over allow or inflate trade numbers above what the market dictates we should pay. We feel that a real number for ours and a real number for yours is the best, most transparent, most fair way to conduct business and we are confident that our clients will not find a lower trade difference at any other Ford dealership. This is also why we offer a $1,000 best deal guarantee. It can be confusing, and it does not always seem familiar compared to the way you may have bought cars or traded for them in the past, but the truth is if someone gave you more for your trade- you probably paid too much for their vehicle.
