An unanticipated trade in deal Received a post card from GMC offering to upgrade my ‘15 Yukon Denali to a ‘17 for about 40 bucks more a month. Too good to be true but Brandon walked Received a post card from GMC offering to upgrade my ‘15 Yukon Denali to a ‘17 for about 40 bucks more a month. Too good to be true but Brandon walked me though it and it totally made sense to do the deal. Ended up with a clone of our ‘15 but it ended up being an ‘18! The Iridium paint was tough to find. More

"Unprofessional and Frustrating Experience" My sales representative was Che Bess who was a very nice man and a gentleman at all times. He told me that he worked for Castle Buick for about 7 year My sales representative was Che Bess who was a very nice man and a gentleman at all times. He told me that he worked for Castle Buick for about 7 years. It would have been better if he told me that he had only been there a few months because that maybe would have explained his performance. I met with him last week and discussed the 2017 Envision as both a purchase or a lease possibility. He gave me quotes for both a purchase and a 39 month lease as a resident of the City of Chicago. I wanted to make sure this was clear because I know there is a Chicago tax that applies and wanted to make sure it was included. I had further interest so I called him this past Saturday to get a quote for a 48 month lease and was told by the operator that he was with a customer and to leave him a voicemail message which I did. I did not hear back from him so I called him on Monday afternoon at 1:30. I was told again that he was not available so I left him another voicemail message. When I still did not hear back from him I called him again at 6:15 and was able to reach him. He said he did not receive my voicemail messages and appreciated me continuing to try and contact him. I told him I wanted a quote for a 48 month lease which he agreed to do. I AGAIN, reminded him that I was a Chicago resident and to make sure the Chicago tax was included. He told me he would speak to a manager and call me back in about 30 minutes. I did not hear back from him the rest of the night. I texted him at 9:30 PM after hours and told him that he must not want my business since he fails to get back to me. He apologized and said that it got very busy at the dealership but that he would call me first thing in the morning. He called me in the morning to verify that I wanted a 48 month quote and my residency. Once again, I told him the city of Chicago. He said he would get back to me in about 15 minutes or so. He called me back 2 hours and 45 minutes later to inform me that the 48 month lease price would be $414.03 per month with a down payment of $3,148.00 plus the 1st months lease payment. I asked him if that included all the charges, doc fees, etc., and the city of Chicago tax. He said yes, it includes everything. I told him that was agreeable and that my wife and I would come in that evening to test drive the car. We test drove the car and agreed to lease it at that price and gave him a $200.00 deposit. We also gave him our social security numbers and financial information and permission to run a credit check on us. It was already late in the evening so we set up an appointment to come in the following evening at 6:30 to pick up the car. Before leaving I told Che that I didn’t want any hidden cost surprises at the last minute that sometimes come up with some car dealerships. He assured me that there wouldn’t be. At 5:50 PM, 40 minutes before we were to arrive and pick up the car, Che called me to tell me that there had been a mistake on the payment. He said that the 48 month quote had been computed WITHOUT the City of Chicago tax included. I was in total disbelief after reinforcing that point in every conversation. I told him that we had discussed that fact multiple times and that he had assured me it was included. I was very upset so he told me to come in and speak to a manager. We came in and met with Tom Hackett who reviewed the whole circumstance with us. I told him that it was not our fault that they made the mistake. I reminded him that I waited patiently on Monday and Tuesday for Che to get back to me so they had plenty of time to review and make sure they were giving me the correct quote. Tom told me that he could not stand behind the $414.03 payment and the actual payment would now be $458.92 per month. I asked him if they would split the difference in the discrepancy and make the payment either $452.00 or rounded down to $450.00 per month to compensate for their error. He said he could not do either unless I put down an additional $700.00. I told him I would not do that because that would be like raising my payment, not lowering it. I asked him about a cargo area floor mat and he said I would have to pay for that. He told me he would add a 2nd year of free maintenance to my transaction. I asked what that included and he said basically tire rotation. How often do you rotate the tires on a 10,000 mile lease and what is the value of one or two tire rotations? Minimal. In the meantime, I had already acted on the $414.03 quote by contacting my insurance company with the VIN number and added it to our policy. I brought our current car that we are replacing to my auto mechanic who is going to sell it for us and removed the license plates and vehicle sticker that we will be transferring. We could have cancelled the agreement to lease the car from Castle and reverse those other things. However, that takes additional time and time costs money too. With those things considered, my wife and I discussed it after asking Tom and Che to leave the room and we agreed to accept the car with the $458.92 payment. However, I can tell you that we are not happy. Instead of coming home feeling good about acquiring a new car, we came home with a headache after the whole process from start to finish. I didn’t get my payment lowered and I didn’t get any other form of compensation other than a free tire rotation or two so I have no problem letting everyone know we were not satisfied. We did everything right on our end from being patient, staying loyal to a sales representative, and accepting your new price based on a Castle Buick mistake. By the way, we also have 3 other Castle Chevrolet purchases in our home since 2011 and have 2 older model Buicks serviced in your Service Department over the years. We are repeat customers and most companies bend over backwards to satisfy good customers. That didn’t happen here for sure. And, to add insult to injury, when we went out to the car to drive it home, the license plates had been put on incorrectly. The plate with the sticker had been put on the front instead of the back so I had to stand out in the cold and help get it corrected. Che, the 7 year veteran had put them on. I will be adding this summary to the online review and the General Motors survey as well. More
