Run Run Run don’t even hesitate … Preferred Auto Group will lie to you & mislead you to get the sale. Been trying to resolve an issue since 11/2024….I would never have purchased this vehicle if I hadn’t More

I am so sorry that you feel this way. I believe that Preferred Automotive has gone above and beyond to try to help you resolve your issue. We only collect the state sales tax based on what the IRS tells us per their website. We have no control over the State of Arkansas or them charging you again for the sales tax because that is where you registered the vehicle. We have tried several times and spent hours on the phone with the state, trying to get you your money back. 99% of the vehicles we sell are to customers who register their vehicles in the State of Indiana, and the other 1% are in the surrounding states. On average we sell less than 5 vehicles annually throughout the rest of United States. I don't feel you should be frustrated or upset with Preferred Automotive, but the State of Indiana, who is refusing to give your money back or the State of Arkansas who charged you sales tax again.
