Hi Rachel, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry that these past experiences with us have been disappointing, and that our communication has continued to go against your wishes to not be contacted. We are working with all of our vendors and our own database to make sure that you will not receive any more mail, emails, or phone calls from us. Sometimes, things slip through the cracks, but we are being as diligent as we can to make sure that doesn't happen. In the meantime, our General Sales Manager, is attempting to reach you in order to personally apologize to you. He would love the chance to talk with you. Thank you again for reaching out so that we can make this right! Sincerely, Katie R.

Hi Tim, Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We are very sorry that your recent experience with us left you disappointed. We try to get the best deal possible for our customers, which sometimes means sending their credit application to multiple banks. Usually these resolve in a few days; however, this should've been better communicated to you. Our managers are trying to reach you, but your phone number in our database isn't reaching you. If you would like to discuss this further, please send us the best contact information for you to katie@newtonmotorgroup.com. Thank you again, and we hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Katie R.

Katie, My number is in the database! Someone called me yesterday (4/20/23 and I was at my son's baseball game. My comments stand on Management not communicating at all. Gabe did what he could with the items at his disposal. However, there is PLENTY of wiggle room in used vehicles and they could have come down on the price a little to make the deal work. You win some and you lose some.....they lost us!
