T, Thank you for your review, and I apologize that your daughter had less than an exceptional experience during her visit. There seems to have been a miscommunication. We do have K5s available for reservation. K5s may take at least a few weeks to arrive or even receive ETA as to when they will arrive. Some units already have dates assigned by Kia, and others are awaiting to be assigned. Please be assured they are coming, and we would love to earn your daughter's business with our simple reservation process. We are currently taking reservations both in-store and remotely. Please give us a call and set an appointment or ask about our easy remote deal process.

Lawrence Kia responded

Viking, Dishonesty is not something we portray here at Lawrence Kia. You called in and set an appointment based on today's pricing. After coming to the dealership and talking about pricing, you didn't qualify for today's price, which it clearly states on our website. You did not have a trade nor planned on financing. We explained our pricing. You got upset and then told us your offer. Madison, our sales manager, said she would do your price, which was basically our today's price but to do that price, you would need to finance to at least qualify for one of those incentives. We were transparent about what we could do for you and your situation. You neglected to take advantage of the great deal we could give you on a vehicle. We are the number one Kia Store in the Region, selling over 500 vehicles monthly. With the most aggressive pricing across the Nation. If you have any other questions, please give us a call, so we can again try to help your situation.

Jonathan, thank you for reviewing Lawrence Kia. No one ever told you that we had 4 Sorentos. We told you that we had one pre-owned unit that is available to test drive. We also said that we had one Sorento available to purchase; however, you did not like the trim level we had to offer. Inventory is tight and just as frustrating to us. It was not our intention to waste your time. We felt like we gave you a clear understanding in the messages of what we had on our lot. If in 45 days you still do not have a Sorento X-Line, please revisit us, and we will do our best to get you what you're looking for.

jlwright77 responded

I still have the text messages saved. It was never mentioned that the vehicles you were offering were weeks away. You knowingly led me to drive from KC to your dealership to show me a different vehicle that was not what I was looking for.

Aug 02, 2022 -

Lawrence Kia responded

Jonathan, we have tried to call you several times to get this resolved for you, and you refuse our calls. However, since you keep bringing up these text messages, let's air those out. You - "Primary interest is a Sorento. I can't tell from your website what vehicles you actually have on your lot" Brandon - "It's hard to tell what is here and available because they come and go so fast. Have you been able to test drive a Sorento during your search?" You - "Interested in an SX Prestige AWD" Brandon - "We have 4 of the X-Line SX Prestige available at the moment. Any color you're looking for?" Let us clarify the word "AVAILABLE" That means we have four ready for you to purchase, meaning they are either here or will be here within the next week or so. In which case, they are here right this very minute. You would be driving a Sorento SX Prestige AWD today had you come in and listened to your options; instead, you chose to get upset at our sales staff. Regardless, another message went out to you BEFORE you entered the dealership. "Sounds good. I'll give you a call around 9 after I confirm with my managers that there is still a Sorento to check out. How does that sound?" To which you responded, "That should be fine I do have a chiropractor appointment at 9 so if you don't get me just leave a message and I'll call you back" Brandon responds, "Got it. I just want to make sure I don't bring you out for no reason." Later Brandon tried to call you to confirm those details, and the both of you played phone tag for a while, and we were unable to speak to you on the phone before you arrived. He then texts you again, "Sorry about that. I tried picking it up and it hung up the call. We do have a X-Line SX Prestige to demo and a new Sorento as well but I don't know which trim it is. What time are you thinking later?" At that point, we were very transparent about what we had on the lot minus the trim level of that second unit mentioned. Brandon clearly stated he had one for you to test drive and the other ready to purchase. You are the one that chose to come in, and we didn't force you or mislead you into coming into the dealership. Even still, Brandon tried to apologize to you since the one we had ready to buy was FWD and admitted he should have done more looking into that unit for you. We never mentioned that we had four units on the lot. We are sorry for any confusion you felt. We feel we were transparent from the start that inventory is tight and changes by the hour. We wish you well in your search.

Dmitry, I feel as if there was some miscommunication. Jason had a little bit of a hard time understanding you with the language barrier between you two. After Madison spoke with you, everything seemed cleared up, and you asked to check out the vehicle. At that point, we were under the impression you were happy, and we had cleared up any confusion. You abruptly left after looking at the vehicle before we could try and achieve the payment you were looking for. If you would like to give us a call or schedule a time to come back out so we can fully try and achieve what you are looking for and the payments you want. Thank you.
