Dishonest and UnEthical Bait and Switch Found a great car at a great price. I knew it was too good to be true. Salesman even looked confused when he saw the price on the car. I worked with t Found a great car at a great price. I knew it was too good to be true. Salesman even looked confused when he saw the price on the car. I worked with the salesman for over 1 hour-test drove it went over pricing and wanted to show my wife. However salesman said we were closing. I was last person in showroom. Salesman said he will be open 9am, I said I will be in first thing to buy car, he said see you tomorrow morning. I took photos of car, price and vin #. When I returned in the morning salesman and Manager stated car was sold the previous night. I said I was last person in store. He then said buyer came back after hours to pick it up and that he gave me a different car fax report with a different vin# and mileage amount from the car I test drove. He said the car sold and I didn't want it because it was in an accident. However when I showed him pictures of the vin #, price, and mileage from the car I test drove -he said it must have been a mistake. Then he tried to tell me the car fax I had was for a different car on the lot for $6000 more than the car I test drove. We then went to look at that Vin # and the available car- it was wrong too!! The salesman couldn't give me an answer. The manager Eric Gardner and the Salesman Nick Van Zile just walked away from me. I was a paying and able customer that caught them in a Unethical and Dishonest Act! I am in sales and a local business owner of over 12 vehicles, they lost a customer and any respect or future referrals. More

Outstanding 5-Star Sales Management and Sales Team Let's start with the fact that I am a 100% service-connected Disabled vet (USMC) now living off an unaccustomed fixed income. I cannot believe the Let's start with the fact that I am a 100% service-connected Disabled vet (USMC) now living off an unaccustomed fixed income. I cannot believe the assistance the Chrysler/Kia team at Manahawkin, NJ provided my wife and me.They were incredibly sensitive to our situation. It was more than just a sale.I found myself in a bind due to hospitalization wth only days to turn in my End-of-Lease gas-guzzling Chrysler 300C Hemi leased from Atlantic Chrysler in Egg Harbor, NJ.. Ally Bank was of absolutely no help even though we have a PERFECT payment history over the past 10 years on three (3) Ally loans and one GMAC loan. (I will never again deal with ALLY). My bank failed us as well despite substantial deposit and perfect credit card history. They wanted to charge us 10% interest on a Lease Buyout. The truth of the matter is I signed onto a very bad lease with Atlantic Chrysler. As both the Manahawkin Chrysler GM and Manahawkin KIA GM (under the same ownership) stated: "it is probably the worst lease deal we've ever seen." Now to the outstanding assistance of the GM at Manahawkin Chrysler. He recommended, given our circumstances, to look at a KIA Cadenza. We did and test drove it. It was out of our price range. The KIA salesman the GM called in to assist us (Nick Van Zile) recommended a KIA Optima. It was fully loaded and drove like a dream (this is from a person who owned 2 Lincoln Town Cars; 2 Cadillac Fleetwoods; and, the top-of-the line Chrysler). The price quoted was surprisingly modest. The lease arrangement (thanks to the Chrysler and KIA GMs and Eric the Financing Officer at KIA) was more than generous. We purchased the Optima that day without hesitation: this is after test driving the Lincoln MDZ; the Honda CR-V; the new Chrysler 300; and, other autos. My wife and I are indebted to the concern, yes concern, the Manahawkin Chrysler/KIA team provided. Having owned or leased more than 15 autos during our 50 years of marriage, we are now committed to be KIA Optima owners for life. Thank you Woody, Blaise, Eric and Nick.

As you enter the service department you are greeted by Bryan and Megan with a smile & "how can we help you today". It the only place I would bring my car for service. They are honest & up front about what is needed for your car. No up sales like other places I have dealt with in the past, just good ,no great service . Of course I have to go into the show room to visit & say hello to Dirk . I was in and out in less than an hour .I even got a few tips on some good eating establishments in the area from Bryan. Its like visiting family. Thanks guys for a wonderful experience. More
