21st Century Auto Group

Scam car dealer I recently bought a car from Century 21 Auto Group in NJ and had an absolutely horrible experience. 1st they are completely misleading and put ridicul I recently bought a car from Century 21 Auto Group in NJ and had an absolutely horrible experience. 1st they are completely misleading and put ridiculously low prices online to sucker you into going in. I drove over 3 hours after calling to confirm the price on the phone and when I got there it was $4000 more because of some xx about military discounts and travel discounts etc.. When I told them I was in the military and qualified for all their discounts they still charged me $16,500 for a car that was advertised for $12,500 on their website. I agreed to purchase the car under the condition they fixed the tire sensors and cleaned up the inside. (Which was absolute dirty). I put $8000 down and agreed to come back in 2 days to get the car when everything was done. The next day I got a call from my salesman Issac who said they were going to sell the car to someone else if I didn’t come back that day to get it… Keep in mind I put $8000 cash down on the car and it was less then 24 hours later. I reminded him of our previous agreement and went back the following day to get the car. I got to the dealership at 8pm expecting to sign some paperwork and drive away in my new car. Only one problem, when I was signing the paperwork they refused to tell me how much the purchase prices of the car was. They kept asking how much I wanted my monthly payments to be. When I finally got the paperwork it had the cars purchase price at $22,500!!! When I confronted them they said that was the agreed price. After getting my sales guy Issac involed and he seemed to lose his mind and forget everything we spoke about and agreed on. I was so pissed off I told them I wanted my money back and was leaving. At that point they said “What money” as if they were going to try to steel my $8000. And begged me to make a deal. After arguing about “Discounts” and bank financing charges we agreed on $16,800 which was still $300 above the previously agreed price. But, I was so tired at this point and just wanted to leave with the car. When I got back to signing the paperwork they were visually pissed off at me, (I guess because I didn’t let them screw me for an extra $6000) and we began going over the paper work again. This time they had the purchase price at $17,800… xxx! And when I caught it they quickly apologized and said it was there fault and changed it to $16,800. I guess they have gotten away with that before. When I finally got in the car it was almost 1am. I drove off the lot and within 15 min the tire sensor light and the check engine light came on. I tried calling the immediately and got no response. I called 40 times the following day and kept getting pushed off by the answering service and promised they would call back. (This became a common theme with them. They never called me back. EVER….) I eventually took my car in Monday to talk with someone. First they tried saying they didn’t agree to fix anything until I showed them the proof and then they reluctantly agreed. Over the next 4 weeks they had me drive back and forth 3 hours 3 times to pick up a car that they said was “fixed” only to have the check engine light and tire light come back on. I finally took it to a Mercedes Benz Dealership and they give me a bill for $8,600 to fix everything that was wrong with the car. I would love to elaborate more but my blood pressure is preventing me from continuing. The people at Century 21 Auto Group are the most dishonest, unethical, and unmoral people I have ever worked with in my entire life. I am surprised that so many people exist on this planet with their values, (let alone in one dealership). Over the months trying to get my car fixed and get my money back, none of them were of any help or any sympathy. Again, there is a lot more to this story including : they never registered my car or gave me a license plate, the warranty I spent another $4000 on from Century 21 didn’t cover any of the $13,300 in repairs, I canceled their “Oil Change” service contract within the 30 days as the contract said and not only didn’t get a refund but never even got a response! I am currently pending lawsuit with Century 21 Auto Group and wanted to save anyone else the agony I have been though dealing with them. They have been sued successfully many times before and even sued by the state of NJ for false scam business practices. I can’t believe they are still aloud to be in business. If anyone is considering buying a car from Century 21 Auto Group I am happy to share my experience with you. Please comment on this post or send me an email pcolllipp@gmail.com and I’ll walk you though the experience you will have with them. More

Terrible experience ByHere goes the long story... First, the prices in their website was misleading because it included some predefined rebates which wud not apply to mo ByHere goes the long story... First, the prices in their website was misleading because it included some predefined rebates which wud not apply to most ppl. So please scroll down the page to read if you qualify and then consider the price. Secondly, I called them to book an appointment for a specific car with Vin# because the price offered was great. Well, that was just a bait bcoz when I reached there I am told that the car has been sold. This is after just 2 hours of booking the appointment. I was further explained that the site is only updated after a day and blah blah blah... know what I can still see that ad on their website after 2 days. Third, I wanted to test drive another car but the sales guy wanted me to swear by a price before he could take us for a test drive. I mean all I said was let me do a test drive and then we can talk for hours about the price but atleast give me a test drive. That man went on talking and talking and talking ...but would not give a test drive. Then I met the management and they were even better , they suggested me to give them a deposit so that they can lock the car for me to see. Why should I pay them without even seeing the car ?? I have been to other dealerships and It was not my first time car purchase but I was so exhausted and disappointed that I had to walk out of the place frustrated. More

Horrible Service experience -Used Honda Civic2013 model car I had purchased a Honda Civic 2013 LX model car from this dealer just a month back(17th Dec 2016). I was very happy with the dealer and provided my re I had purchased a Honda Civic 2013 LX model car from this dealer just a month back(17th Dec 2016). I was very happy with the dealer and provided my reviews in best possible way in Google and DealerRating.com. Just after 20 days, I faced one issue while starting the vehicle. The vehicle was taking time to start and it looked like an issue with the battery. I informed this to the concerned Sales person Mr.Justice when I collected my permanent number plate(13th January 2017). I also requested for a service check up of my vehicle as I faced the above issue. Mr. Justice told me that he would set up the appointment and I would be getting a call from the dealer regarding this. Nobody contacted me after this. On 24th January 28, 2017, unfortunately the vehicle didn’t start for almost 45 minutes and I had to call up my insurance company where they sent a mechanic to do a jumpstart. I informed this to the dealer and my salesperson Mr. Justice. Meanwhile, I showed the battery to Autozone and Goodyear auto service, where both of them advised that battery is charging 100 percent but it’s condition is BAD and needs a replacement. I tried reaching to a Service manager for almost 2 days and finally on 26th Jan I was able to speak to Mr.Joseph (Service Manager). He heard the matter and informed that this matter is being discussed with their General Manager and he would get back to me shortly but never did. Worried for my vehicle’s condition on 27th January, finally I went to the showroom as anyone from the dealer did not revert back. They inspected the vehicle and now they are telling they will give the battery but I need to pay for the deductible (battery cost is around 130 and I need to pay around 80 dollar). The worse service from this dealer is they make you run a lot for minor things, never call back even for any of your concerns. They keep saying we would talk to our manager and discuss the matter but they never revert. None of your complaints are recorded so the same matter needs to be explained from the beginning all the time to every new person. It is just a month since I bought the vehicle from the dealer(drove only 1200 miles) with a price more than 12K and I faced this issue with the battery within 20 days. The 2 month warranty from the dealer is still valid for my vehicle and I have signed the lemon law document as well with the dealer. I informed about the issue immediately to the dealer but did not get any proper response so far even after numerous follow ups from my side. Finally they are ready to replace the battery with deductible from my pocket(which is more than 60 percent of the battery cost) which is not at all acceptable to me. My experience so far in this matter is really bad and I can clearly say “Don’t expect any kind of help from this dealer once you purchased the vehicle from them even when you are under the warranty. They don’t have the courtesy to provide a call back too” . It was horrible and pathetic customer experience for me in last 4 days. Their behavior is not at all courteous towards a customer who has already purchased a vehicle from them. Their service is really terrible and I would literally give a 0 star. Worst dealer!!!! More

Service, customer satisfaction, and going out of the way I had the greatest car buying experience possible at 21st century auto group! It seemed as though I couldn't stop shooting myself in the foot, being a I had the greatest car buying experience possible at 21st century auto group! It seemed as though I couldn't stop shooting myself in the foot, being a first time car buyer and all. Still, the service and customer satisfaction efforts that I received from the dealership as a whole, especially my salesperson Justice, was out of this world. I kept trying to make it hard on myself, but Justice and the crew there at 21st wouldn't let it be hard for me. I was buying a trade-in vehicle that was much lower cost than their other vehicles, but I still felt like a priority to them. Yesterday me and my gf were dropped off at the dealership because we knew we were leaving with the car, but it turns out I messed up with the check I brought, and with what I was supposed to get from my insurance company. It's 9 pm and we're over an hour away from home, it's under 20 degrees and the dealership was closing, so we couldn't stay there. Nobody from the dealership owed us a thing, and yet Justice offered a ride down the street so we could stay warm while we waited for our friend, as opposed to waiting for 40 minutes in the cold and wind on the side of the highway. As I said I struggled with my first experience, but the staff was so helpful. I was even able to contact them after hours and when they were off so they could help guide me to the end. Today the sale was finalized and I couldn't be happier about the car, price, service and experience I received from this dealership. They really do care about everybody who walks in that door, and they will kindly do all they can to assist you into the car you came there for in the first place. If I have the need to purchase a car in the future, while I still live in the area I will certainly be heading back to see what inventory these guys will have available for me then. I just want to close with a direct thank you to Justice, he's a phenomenal person who really understands the human condition. He seemed like a friend or brother as soon as I met him. I'm so glad I met with him for this sale. I hope he goes on to do great things and live the life he wants, he's just such a wonderful person. More
