I ended up buying at Atamian after getting quoted prices via Zag.com. Atamian had the lowest quoted price and was located near my house and commuting route. I ended up having to order the car I wanted, wh More

Thank you for your feedback and we want to make sure this doesnt happen again. One real quick question did you have the trade with you? I just wanted to check so we can talk about this with the other managers and see what happened. Bill Goulette

Yes,she drove the car up by herself because I had to work Saturday.She wanted to finalize the process,but Mr.Jarrett refused to give her a price with the trade and any other considerations unless she made a commitment:absolutely outrageous!!I have run this by a lot of people,and nobody can believe a salesman,and maybe his sales manager,could do this to a potential customer.We made an appointment yesterday at Kelly's and had a deal in less than a half-hour.We pick up the same car we looked at at your place at noon today.Be sure my account of the above reprehensible treatment will be sent to Volkswagen corporate offices.

Yes I understand please pass on my apology to you and your family if the trade was here we should of looked at the vehicle. I will pass this on to my GM so we can make sure this doesnt happen again and why it did happen. Good luck with your new VW and very sorry the team here treated her badly. Bill Goulette

Had a Costco Auto quote in my hand when I walked in. I was a little skeptical because the price was really good but it was very real. They even matched the best financing we could find from a bank!! Bill More

Easy process because we had a set price through Costco. Financing was very good. Quick and easy paper work process. Only problem is that there's a scratch on the door that is going to take a couple days to More

Atamian Volkswagen responded

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that you were upset. Is there anything I can do at this point? I did send you a price quote and I know the Used Car Manager gave you an offer on your trade. I work very hard to keep my rep online so I can sell cars did I personally do anything to insult you? My records how I gave you a quote within 7 minutes of you sending my your email. Im sorry this happened I am going to pass this on to the GM but we tried to follow up with you the next day and never heard back. If I can do anything at all please let me know I work hard getting back to all the customers 7 days a week and Im sorry this happened. Because another dealer made you a better does that made us bad guys? Bill Goulette

Bill, Awnsers to your questiosns, 1) Nothing ypou can do now, the damage is done 2) I don't have spacific info to show that you personaly did anything to to insult me. Prior to my visit I would have thought that my dozzen cooraspondences would have tippid you off that I know enough to reccognize the "bottom line". Prior to sitting with the others in the showroom, I remined you of such, and asked you to convey this to your staff in an effort to avoid the nonsense. 3) while car hunting I protected my privacy by limiting contact to email. I saw now reason to reply to a "plea not to buy from another dealer", after I made the purchace. 4) (see #1) 5) Being bested by another dealer doesn't make you bad. Treating people like saps makes you bad. After being lured into the showroom, the staff must have thought that I was stupid to accept an offer for less than 1/4 of the value for my trade. Then I was encouraged to be shown every scratch on the 87,000 mile trade and was told that for these reasons it wasn't worth squat. I had already been to other dealers who appraised the car, so that I know the aprox real value. I'm glad I did the homework to recognize when a dealer is lying to me about the trade value. I didn't like being treated that way. From your response I get the sense that you are trying to defend the sales managers actions. It would be easy for you to simpley blame him, but I am now getting the sense that this is a group effort from the whole Atamian team. Am I wrong ??

Atamian Volkswagen responded

No I thought you were talking about me? You didnt give a name and I am one of the managers at the store thats why I was thrown for a loop on this. Im sorry I thought you meant I did this to you thats why I was trying to get in touch. Im sorry for what its worth and I did email this over to the GM so he has it so he can take it up with the other manager. Im not defending anything but when 90 percent of my job is to run the Internet and we get a bad review it hurts my job the most but I guess thats fair. Good luck to you appreciate the feedback and sorry in no way was I trying to pull a fast one. Have a nice thanksgiving if you ever need anything in the future let me know. Bill Goulette

DealerRater held this review for two weeks befor it "went public". I havn't been able to see it online till now. Having now seen Bill Goulette's responce to my review it seems that Bill wants to "paint a pretty picture" of himself and Atamian for reviewers looking at the site. It is a total lie that Atamian raised the trade value. That was firm. But it sure sounds like a sincear responce though. Although I have had several corraspondances with Bill Goulette (using the DealerRater site) since I first wrote it. None of the corraspondance shows up on the DealerRater review that "went public"???. In it Bill whines that Atamian's staff arn't bad people for lying about the actual trade values, when there own web site evaluates the car realisticly. My responce to him was as follows: 5) Being bested by another dealer doesn't make you bad. Treating people like saps makes you bad. After being lured into the showroom, the staff must have thought that I was stupid to accept an offer for less than 1/4 of the value for my trade. Then I was encouraged to be shown every scratch on the 87,000 mile trade and was told that for these reasons it wasn't worth squat. I had already been to other dealers who appraised the car, so that I know the aprox real value. I'm glad I did the homework to recognize when a dealer is lying to me about the trade value. I didn't like being treated that way. From your response I get the sense that you are trying to defend the sales managers actions. It would be easy for you to simpley blame him, but I am now getting the sense that this is a group effort from the whole Atamian team. Am I wrong ?? I see all suckers who provided good reviews on this site and I get the sense that few of Atamian's customers do thier homework. They must be to busy to care that they are being hosed by the car dealer. New cars are nice and that makes people happy. But all new car dealers are selling the same nice new cars. It's OK to make a living, but not a killing.
