They are truly the worst thing about the car business. Bait and switch… offer you a price and totally try scamming you when you get there. People please make sure to do the research before buying or selli More

Dear Haward, Thank you for your review. I can assure you that if there was any issue related to the bate and switch, it will be addressed promptly. During your recent visit to the dealership, you were interested in selling a 2017 Chevy Cruz with the Vin# ending in 7223910 for $10,000, which is higher than the book value. After inspecting the vehicle, our used car manager offered you $7000, which is significantly higher than the $5,925 average JD Power book value and $2,851 higher than the KBB good condition value of $6,961. Therefore, I am unsure about your concerns regarding a bate switch in this case. If you believe that your car is worth more than the amount offered, you are welcome to return to the dealership. Our general manager will take another look at the vehicle and see if we can offer you a higher price. Respectfully Ray

Dear Howard, Thank you for your review. I can assure you that if there was any issue related to the bait and switch, it will be addressed promptly. As you presented yourself as an independent wholesaler selling vehicles, you came to the dealership wanting to sell us your 2017 Chevy Cruz with over 113,000 miles, VIN# ending in 7223910. You purchased privately two months ago for $10,000, which is $4,000 higher than the book value. After inspecting the vehicle and even though your car is not in what you consider good condition, our used car manager offered you $7,000, which is significantly higher than the $5,925 average JD Power book value and $2,851 higher than the KBB good condition value of $6,961. Therefore, I am unsure about your concerns regarding a bait and switch. In this case, you came to us wanting to sell your vehicle and when we didn’t give you the number that you wanted, you became belligerent and insulted the salesperson and the used car manager with choice words I’m not at liberty to repeat. This is especially surprising since you are a wholesaler in the business yourself, and you were the one who reached out to us wanting to sell your vehicle. If you believe that your car is worth more than the offered amount, you are welcome to return to the dealership. Our general manager will take another look at the vehicle and see if we can offer you a higher price. Respectfully Ray

The service advisors and technicians genuinely care about your vehicle while it is there and are great at communicating what the vehicle needs to get back up and running as it should. More
