Ethan was very helpful in demonstrating the cars I looked at. The purchase went well too although Ethan was out sick. James and Krystie were delightful to deal with for the sale. More

I had an abysmal experience dealing with this Maserati dealer. I contacted the dealership on August 15, 2024 regarding an advertised used BMW 760Li. Karifa Mara got back to me the next morning and informe More

Your response unfortunately lacks a deeper understanding of the underlying issues and does not address the failure of the dealership to take care of business [that I was bringing to you from the West Coast - in cash!] I was the first of the "many" interested buyers to inquire about the 760 and I patiently (and kindly) waited for the salesperson (Karifa) to get back to me with basic information and details, which he provided little by little, in a very slow and inefficient manner. Given the circumstances, I should have been given the first right of refusal and/or the dealership should have accepted my deposit offer to secure the car for a few days, while it was at service and going through inspection. Remote buyers (collectors) like me have a disadvantage of not being on location so we rely on professionalism of the staff, ethical practices of the dealership, and the extra care and cooperation needed to take care of us as customers. Criswell Maserati failed in nearly every front and those failures (and the reasons behind those failures) should be considered serious learning opportunities to improve business practices. I believe your apology (if you considered the response as one - I don't, personally) is very canned and insincere and displays yet another indication as to how poorly the business is run from an ethical and professional perspective.
