I feel they are crooks. I had to wait 7 days to return my vehicle an the problems still exist. To be frank they SUCK!!! More

Good sales experience, bad finance, fabricated documents had a good experience with the salesman. The good news ends there. The rest of my experience here in March and April 2018 was horrific. The sales had a good experience with the salesman. The good news ends there. The rest of my experience here in March and April 2018 was horrific. The salesman, Damon Jones, was excellent and provided a competitive price that I agreed to. I purchased a new vehicle and financed through the dealer. Strike 1 of 2: My credit report is locked. When the finance manager Phil Esposito ran my credit he was unable to get a result due to the lock. I was called at 9AM on the day I was to pick up the car and told to unlock it which I did within two hours. I asked them to run my credit again. I arrived at the dealer to sign documents at pick up the car at 6PM. They never ran it again and gave me a very poor 5.9% interest rate as a result despite a 740+ credit score. I asked Phil Esposito to run it again and he refused. Strike 2 of 2: The total amount financed as per my signed agreement with finance manager Phil Esposito was $28,569 @ 5.9% interest. When my first bill from Kia Finance came they claimed the agreement was for $29,411 @ 4.9 % interest. After literally five weeks of phone calls to Phil Esposito at Plaza and to Kia Finance I was unable to get an explanation for the discrepancy between the contract I signed and the contract Kia Finance was telling me took precedence at the higher amount financed and lower interest rate. My intention was to purchase the car outright before the end of payments so the amount financed value was important. Kia Finance told me Plaza Kia sent a second finance agreement with the higher value. This second agreement superseded the first agreement. I only saw and signed one (the first) agreement. I asked for the second to be mailed to me. When I received that mail from Kia Finance I was shocked to see my signature fabricated four times. Again, I never signed or agreed to that second finance agreement that was sent without my consent by Plaza Kia to Kia Finance. Kia Finance told me the dealer needed to rectify the issue, the dealer told me Kia Finance needed to rectify the issue. Phil Esposito said I should just return the vehicle if I have an issue with the contract, claiming they lost $2,300 due to the price Damon agreed to. Of course, this perceived loss for the dealer was irrelevant to my issue and not an appropriate resolution. I had to contact Kia customer service twice to get on Plaza Kia and their finance managers case. Both times Phil Esposito called me within 10 minutes after I spoke to customer service and berated me for contacting them saying he was going to take care of it (keep in mind this had been going on six weeks). Ultimately, Phil Esposito was able to fix the problem that began on March 12th 2018 on May 3rd 2018. I received a check from Plaza Kia for the difference between the fabricated second finance agreement that I never signed or consensted to and the actual amount financed I agreed to. Conclusion: 1) Do not purchase a car at Plaza Kia (and likely the rest of Plaza Auto Group) 2) If you must purchase there, do not finance through the dealer and the car manufacturer. Bring your own financing from a bank. 3) Check that whatever agreement you make at the dealer is not then amended after the fact and without your consent. 4) Contact Kia Customer service if you want to get a response from Plaza Kia. I was dismissed and given no firm date for a resolution until I went to customer service. More
Money comes second, your happiness comes first! I wanted a new Kia Sedona but was stuck in the lease with Hyundai. Plaza Kia guys spent so much time working out the best deal for me and my family th I wanted a new Kia Sedona but was stuck in the lease with Hyundai. Plaza Kia guys spent so much time working out the best deal for me and my family that I didn't think was possible to begin with. We had sedans, SUVs and hatchbacks from all sorts of brands and dealers in the past but this is the only dealership that I will go to with my wallet wide open, knowing I wouldn't be ripped off or taken advantage of. Thank you for such a wonderful "Thanksgiving" present. We love you! - Roman, Olga and kids More
You'll leave with keys and wheels today Damon is an absolutely amazing salesman. I walked in with a very specific goal (to get a car) and Damon carefully walked me through the process and he Damon is an absolutely amazing salesman. I walked in with a very specific goal (to get a car) and Damon carefully walked me through the process and heard out all of my fears and concerns. We reviewed my budget, cars I liked, and was able to select the car for me. I did not feel pressured and even in my moments of indecisiveness, Damon was able to assist me through my many options. I am completely satisfied and hope to make Damon and Plaza Kia a long term business relationship. More
Unethical.. Scammers.. Avoid at all costs Bring a lawyer with you when you deal with these guys or do yourself a favor and just go to another dealership. If you hate yourself enough to decide Bring a lawyer with you when you deal with these guys or do yourself a favor and just go to another dealership. If you hate yourself enough to decide to go to this dealership stay away from Damon Jones and Claudio Perez (specially Damon Jones) - I haven't met anyone as unethical as these guys ever in my life. I would have given a 1-star rating just based on my experience with them before we signed the paperwork - made us wait for hours for an appointment which I had confirmed over phone a gazillion times, tried changing numbers on us several times AFTER we had an agreement (including charging an extra destination fee which was already included in the sales price which we had agreed on and bank fees which we had agreed dealership will be paying), tried to intimidate us into accepting the higher numbers (including yelling at us!) and double charged us for sales tax and DMV fees promising a refund of the overpaid amount. BUT what happened AFTER the contract was signed was a thousand times worse. Almost a month and a half later Damon Jones called us informing us that Kia rejected the lease contract and we need to re-sign paperwork. Kia's problem with the lease was really that we had paid too much downpayment resulting in negative depreciation (which they could not accept). Incompetence from the dealership aside (how can they not catch the negative depreciation while preparing the paperwork!), Damon tried to increase the previously agreed (and signed!) upon sales price of the vehicle touting that was the only way to resolve this issue. Things went downhill from there pretty quickly. The dealership resorted to outright lying (can't print out a copy of the contract as they have moved to an all electronic system in spite of legally obligated to provide a copy and then being able to print out a copy a few days later, new lease with a higher sales price is actually a more favorable lease to me, refunds are only processed once a week on Fridays but after an attorney general complaint were able to issue the refund on Monday and many many more), threatening to repossess the car and/or report it stolen in spite of me paying such a big downpayment that Kia rejected it indicating that I need to reduce my downpayment, refusing to issue a refund of overpaid amounts and being flippant about everything to confuse us so we would agree to a less favorable contract (including barely readable one line replies, not answering questions asked on why sales price need to be higher or extra fees need to be added and so on). I filed a complaint with Kia hoping the manufacturer will help resolve this but Kia's helpline was practically useless - no real action and/or follow up on the issue till date and all requests to get into contact with the regional sales manager were ignored while the dealership was harassing us. Damon refused to get his General Manager into the conversation (obviously!). I had to file a complaint with the BBB and the NY Attorney General's office to have these guys get back to their senses. The Attorney General complaint is what I think really made the difference here. I was less than 24 hours away from filing a lawsuit for fraud (after more than a month of going back and forth!) against the dealership - that's how far they took it (and I had all laws broken and lies spoken on record to use against them in court). Please do yourself a favor and avoid this dealership. They will do anything and everything they can to scam you and not just before buying the car but also after. And this is not a one off case - try searching "NY Attorney General Plaza Kia" on Google for other examples (Dealerrater won't allow me to post links). More
