My experience started with BMW of Stratham with Kevin, my salesperson. I have been looking for a specific color and feature combo in a 2022 BMW X5M Competition. After finding the car through an internet se salesperson. I have been looking for a specific color and feature combo in a 2022 BMW X5M Competition. After finding the car through an internet search on their lot, I reached out to Kevin to inquire about the vehicle. I told him that I would agree to full MSRP for the vehicle plus their dealer fees. Between that and my Tier 1 credit rating, this should have been an easy transaction. Well, unfortunately, it was not. Living in Atlanta, I am over 1200 miles away. Kevin told me that they DO NOT, under any circumstance, do remote deals and that I would have to book a flight to New Hampshire to fly their to sign the paperwork. He also would not arrange any of the shipping, leaving that to me to find, arrange and pay for outside of the deal. Once we agreed on the price, he was very pushy about getting him the down payment, prior to them even showing my rates for the financing through BMW finance. Just stressful when it didn't need to be. After getting everything done with the financing and down payment, which I did within an hour, it seemed more and more difficult to get a hold of him. Once I started looking at flights, he then gave me specific windows where they can do my paperwork. Not only do I need to fly to New Hampshire to do something that every other dealership is doing remotely, but now I can only sign the paperwork for very specific dates and times? I continued to push back on coming up there. I just can't believe that this is the way this company does business. He assured me that they are a part of a Publicly traded company (Group 1 Automotive) and that the entire company has a policy against it. I told him that I was going to reach out to corporate and he told me I'd be wasting my time. My response was, "If I'm going to waste an entire day of my life traveling to your dealership, for something that can be done remotely, than I am willing to waste 30 minutes being told no by your company." After calling Group 1 Automotive, I was referred to the area director who is over their dealership. To no surprise, he told that what Kevin has been saying is NOT true and that they would be happy to do the deal remotely. I'm not sure why Kevin insisted on living up to the stereotype of car dealers being sleezy and untrustworthy, but he sure did. Perhaps it was because they didn't want to pay for a third party signing company. Or, perhaps it was because something was wrong with the car and by the time I waste a day of my life coming to get it, I would just take it anyway. These are the questions that ran through my head as I waited for my vehicle to arrive. Arranging the transportation myself left me with tons of anxiety. What happens if it arrives damaged, what do I do? The car arrived dirty and unwashed and with a completely empty tank of gas. I have bought dozens of new cars in my life and this was a first! The best part was calling Kevin to tell him that the regional director said we can do the deal remotely through a company called Mavsign. He said he's never heard of that before and then only 2 minutes later he referenced the company and their procedures forgetting his prior statement. I'm assuming BMW of Stratham knew that I'd never be in for service and that I would never buy a car from them again, and this is why I was treated so badly. With all that said, there was a lady in their office helping me with the paperwork named Pam that was very nice. More
