I would also like to respectfully clarify - Bait - asked to come in to check the vehicle and confirmed on messages that we will work on a deal. As i had mentioned in my text messages- i wanted to be around a certain price - but understood that when someone says “ work on a deal” it will be not the price i want but something that both parties can mutually agree to( somehwere inbetween asking price and the price I wanted to be at). Switch - i came into the dealership- yes the car was ready, it is a good car but the salesperson not at all welcoming. And then the switch from “ ready to work on a deal” to we don’t negotiate the online price. I had already said in my text messages that if you cant go lower on price lets not waste each other’s time! You wasted 3 hrs of my time which could have been clearly avoided! I was made to come in on commitments from your team which were not honored. BTW hope you have water fountain or coffee machine or soda next time a customer comes in from far away. Also, had forgotten about the $50 gift card for test driving a vehicle. - not sure if that is also a part of trying to ask customers to come in and not give it to them if they dont buy from you.

Sir, I understand the market very well. I buy and sell vehicles every day and operate a successful dealership. When it became clear that you were seeking substantially more than market value for your trade while offering significantly less than the asking price for our vehicle, I understood that we were simply too far apart to reach an agreement. Rather than waste either of our time, I respectfully declined the deal. I understand you're disappointed that the vehicle is no longer available. To clarify, the vehicle sold today at our full asking price to another customer. As you correctly pointed out, we found a buyer who recognized its value. A Range Rover Autobiography with third-row seating is a rare vehicle, and opportunities to purchase one at the right price do not come around often. While I respect your right to leave a review, I believe some of the statements made do not accurately reflect what occurred during our interaction. You were given a fair opportunity to purchase the vehicle, but we were unable to agree on numbers for either your trade-in or the purchase price. Despite your negative review, I hold no ill will and would still be happy to help you find another vehicle that meets your needs. If there is a specific make, model, or combination of options you're looking for, feel free to reach out and I will do my best to assist you. I genuinely wish you the best in your vehicle search.

Thank you for your feedback. We respectfully disagree with your characterization of the experience. A bait-and-switch occurs when a customer is lured in by one vehicle and then pressured toward a different one. The vehicle you inquired about was available when you visited, and at no point did we attempt to redirect you to another vehicle. Regarding pricing, the vehicle was advertised at our listed online price, which was already highly competitive for this rare model. While we appreciate every offer, your proposed price was significantly below market value, and we were unable to accept it. Unfortunately, not every vehicle is negotiable, especially when inventory is limited and demand is strong. You are correct that we had temporarily run out of bottled water that day, and we apologize for that inconvenience. We respect your right to share your experience, but we believe portions of your review inaccurately represent what occurred and may mislead other potential buyers. We sincerely wish you the best in your vehicle search.

Glad that you sold the vehicle! But still confused on where have i put misleading information? You gave me a number on my tradein, which was something i was thinking over( because as i told your salesperson that i had slightly better offer from land rover dealership). Further to which then i asked what would you be doing to the price of your vehicle and i was told no negotiation. No question’s or conversations around if we take $1000 off or something - can we have a deal? That is how atleast i know a deal works - both parties trying to get the best possible deal. I was told to come in so that we can work out something- but there was no attempt on your end. This why i am saying i was told to come in on a promise of a deal and was told something else when i reached there.

Alfa Romeo of Englewood Cliffs responded

I only addressed the "bait and switch" allegation because you mentioned it in your review. We do not engage in bait-and-switch practices, and we work hard to price our vehicles competitively within the market. As we discussed, some vehicles have room for negotiation while others do not, depending on market conditions and the specific vehicle. You are aware that the vehicle you inquired about was priced around $100,000, and the next least expensive comparable vehicle had nearly 40,000 miles, whereas ours had approximately 15,000 miles. You also spoke with our Internet/BDC representative, who encouraged you to visit the dealership so you could personally inspect and evaluate the vehicle. We believe customers purchase vehicles based on their condition, history, and value, not solely on price. I also want to address a couple of statements in your review that I believe are inaccurate. First, the suggestion that our dealership engaged in a bait-and-switch tactic is simply not true. Second, describing our team's conduct as "outrageous behavior" is difficult to understand given the circumstances. You visited our dealership to view one of the lowest-priced examples of that vehicle available nationally and still attempted to negotiate further. While negotiating is certainly your right as a customer, characterizing the interaction as outrageous does not reflect what actually occurred.

Ok i am wasting too much time here! Seriously - Did not want to say this but had enough. You made me come into the dealership on fake promises (that is what i referred to as bait in my previous response)and then hoping i just buy it because the vehicle is good and i am there. Not reading my text messages or the conversation i was having with your team and not being mindful of my time. The car price relation to market or its uniqueness has nothing to do with promising something and making someone travel 1 hr one way ? Your team promised to work on deal on the price of the vehcile. We did not even reach the point of negotiations because you guys said online price is what it is, when i told you that i came in because i was told we will work out a deal.. Why would one be writing this review if your team had been very clear about pricing or the way all this transaction was handled. Everyone understands that not all deals work out, but the way this was done was not professional at all. On top of it you are blaming me saying i tried to negotiate on nationally lowest price vehicle? Sir - to be very clear, your team asked me to do it when i said i would not be interested in it at the asking price. I even sent you a text message showing the text conversation with your BDC manager, which you conveniently ignored. I tried to avoid posting this review by sending you and your BDC manager my experience which was completely ignored. I think this conversation is more than enough. This is the reason in my review i had said contact person for the review should be someone else at the dealership who would Look at it from third person perspective.
