Lynnes Nissan Subaru

My husband found a 2003 Honda CVR on-line at Lynne's for $4,480.00. I e-mailed the company. I received a call back immediately from Shauhte. She then placed me on the phone with Lorraine. They made for $4,480.00. I e-mailed the company. I received a call back immediately from Shauhte. She then placed me on the phone with Lorraine. They made the deal, and my husband gave her a $100.00 deposit on the car. He told her he would be there on a particular day at a particular time 3 days later. Lorraine promised my husband that the car would be held. This dealership was 5 hours away from our home. I specifically told her that. She assured me that the car was held for me. Me, my husband, and my two children. We made the trip and got there when he said we would. I called Lorraine and told her we were here & she said she would be right down. Another salesman approached us and had us sit down. He immediately asked my husband for his license. My husband said, "I would like to see the car first". He insisted. My husband said, "I don't just hand my license over; I will give it to you after I see the car first. He started using the computer. He was on it for a bit, and he says, "I hope it is here; I will be right back". He was gone for 15 minutes. He comes back and says, "the car is not here. Is there something else I can interest you in like a" . He mentioned three different cars. My husband said no. He then said, "I will be right back". He was gone for 8 minutes. He comes back and has us come further into the office and has us sit down at a different desk. Another man comes and sits down. We talk with him a bit. He says, "I will be right back". He was gone for 13 minutes. He comes back and says, "I don't know what happened, but the car was sold. My apologies. Is there something else I can interest you in? My husband said, "no, I would like my $100.00 deposit back". He said, "okay". He left and took care of it. Came back, gave us a receipt, and apologized again. We left. We were there for an HOUR, and HOUR! The first guy we talked to was approximately 60 years old and he had dark brown hair, brown eyes, and had a long scar on his right cheek. The second guy we dealed with was approx. 50 or so with black hair and blue eyes. More

I admit I was hesitant to use this dealer based upon the previous reviews, but my experience was totally different. I went here to try out the Nissan Altima and Suburu Legacy. My salesman, Eddie Garcia, w previous reviews, but my experience was totally different. I went here to try out the Nissan Altima and Suburu Legacy. My salesman, Eddie Garcia, was great. We test drove both cars and he spent a lot of time talking about the differences of the two cars. They honored the truecar.com price without any hassles. I got a new 2013 3.6 Legacy that took 2 weeks to arrive. On pickup day I was out of there within 1.5 hours (my insurance company was responsible for half the wait). More

We went to Lynne's in Bloomfield, NJ based upon a flyer we received advertising all sorts of great deals-got there and was talked into buying the 2012 Imprezza which we agreed to for the price; while waiti we received advertising all sorts of great deals-got there and was talked into buying the 2012 Imprezza which we agreed to for the price; while waiting we fell in love with a pre-owned 2007 Saab 9.3 convertible, but chose to continue the deal with the new Imprezza. My husband signed the papers, we were told to clean out our vehicle, they tagged it for inventory, removed our plates and then the bombshell-they could not work the numbers to our satisfaction. This after spending almsot 5 hours there. Then Abe suggeted the Saab that we were oogling and that they could definitely work the numbers and then gave us a great price. We were so bummed over the loss of the Imprezza and having spent over 5 hours for nothing, we left empty-handed. After much thought and investigation over Sunday, my husband waited outside before the dealership opened on Monday - well, the car was still there, thank goodness. Now, the numbers didn't work anymore---different story, different numerical configuration and no Saab. Plus, another disappintment. Abe had us convinced on Saturday that we could get the Saab instead but when Monday came along everything changed. This time he tried to talk us into a Nissan Sentra, a car we did not go there to buy. We have purchased more than 6 cars within the last 10 years and have NEVER experienced such a schlock operation. After reading the reviews for this dealership we are actually quite relieved that we did not pursue any further business with Lynne's of Bloomfield. It's clearly obvious that we would have had our share of trouble with this dealership as they have displayed themselves to be totally incompetent. I feel very sorry for all the previous customers who are now stuck in the clutches of this unprofessional dealership. Can't wait to read about them closing their doors in the near future as I cannot possibly imagine this place doing business much longer. Word to the wise-if you are a car salesman looking for a job-DO NOT SEEK EMPLOYMENT from Lynne's of Bloomfield, NJ. Buyer Beware-DO NOT FALL FOR ANY OF THEIR ADVERTISING GIMMICS-there are plenty of other reputable dealerships out there-we know, we've been there and certainly will NOT go back to Lynne's of Bloomfield, NJ.

DO NOT buy a car at Lynnes Subaru. We ordered a car from them, put a deposit down on it and was told that the car was ours and we would have to wait 2 months for it. We got a call that it was in and explain them, put a deposit down on it and was told that the car was ours and we would have to wait 2 months for it. We got a call that it was in and explained we wouldn't be able to pick the car up for a week. We went 7 days later to pick up our car to find out that THEY SOLD IT! They were very unapologetic and not helpful or informative at all. Otto and Tony C. are AWFUL. DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE. GO TO ANY OTHER SUBARU IN THE AREA. More

Before I start on my story about this horrible experience I had with Lynne’s dealership I just want to say thank you to the people that are reading this review and hopefully inform you of my situation so tha I had with Lynne’s dealership I just want to say thank you to the people that are reading this review and hopefully inform you of my situation so that you will not be like me, taken advantage of. I have recently brought a new Nissan Altima 2012 4 door sedan. I used truecars.com to find the best price for what I am paying for so I do not have to go through the bargaining process. My salesman then took me to the lot where the vehicles were. He showed me the car I wated and said it has a power start engine and he said that I am getting a good deal for the car. We got on the car and we drove back to the dealership. At that time the car had 279 miles on it which for a new car is very high and it also did not have a window sticker which I did not notice until later. When I got back to the dealership to finalize the deal the manager came out and said that he has to charge me extra for the power start engine. I said, no since that is not what I asked for. After they said they would have to give me another vehicle and I said alright, but after a couple of minutes the manager Dan said that vehicle #2 was damaged and that they will give me the one with the power start for $450. I continue to say no and after going back and forth I decided that I will only pay $120. He said deal. As we were finalizing the price Dan, Tony, and Jeff the managers charged me destination fee which was supposed to be included in the truecar.com deal. Not just that they did not honor the system they lied in my face and charged me another $780 for destination fee. That day I drove the vehicle home and I did not know it at that time, but that was when my living hell happened. The day I drove the car home my tire pressure signal came on. The next day I brought it back to the dealer to check it up. Service was closed so my salesman went to a gas station to fill it up with air. The problem was still there, but he said it was no big deal since it takes time for the car to adjust. The next day as I was driving to work the check engine light popped up. My car started to shake. When I step on the brakes the car would not response and still continues to cruise. When I step on the gas pedal the car would not accelerate. I immediately turned back. I called sick that day of work. I called Lynne’s to get the car towed to service so they can see the problem. They called back and said they fixed the tire pressure and engine. I ask for a statement sheet on what they fixed, but they never gave one. I drove to school the next day and the engine light popped on again with the tire pressure. I turned back to my house and called Nissan Lynne’s that I would be taking the car to Hilltop East Hanover since it was closer to where I lived. They called a tow truck which is the second time this car got towed. I called Nissan Consumer Affair to complaint about the customer service and how they did not give a statement and a window sticker and how the vehicle has problems. Nissan Hilltop called and said they fixed the car and I drove it. After three days the engine and of course the tire light came on. I called and the customer service was so bad that every time I wanted to speak with a manager he or she was busy with something. It is not like I call on a Saturday or Sunday. I called on Wednesday 2pm. reaching a GM was impossible. So I notified Lynne’s again and got the car towed for the third time. When the car reached Lynne’s after a couple of hours Fred the director said that it was no big deal and that the harness needed to change and they fixed it. They wanted me to bring back the car so they replace the harness when it arrives. After a week my sales man that sold me the car said it was a lemon car and not just that it someone was going to buy the car but returned it because it had problems. I called back to the dealership to find my salesman and the dealership said that he no longer works there. I also called Lynne’s as to when I get my license plate and the managers keep saying its coming. It has been a month now and they still have not called about the license plate which is due a day ago which I called later and they did not have my insurance number More

My wife and I purchased a 2012 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5i from Lynnes Subaru in Bloomfield, New Jersey, on December 23, 2011. While we were quite happy with our salesperson, Akiem Smith, we had a very n 2.5i from Lynnes Subaru in Bloomfield, New Jersey, on December 23, 2011. While we were quite happy with our salesperson, Akiem Smith, we had a very negative experience with sales manager Tony Cipriani, one that has left me unable to recommend the sales department at Lynnes Subaru. Here’s the whole story: On November 1, I spoke to Lynnes Subaru customer service representative Doris Delgado after getting a “purchase price certificate” through the American Express Auto Purchasing Program at zag.com. Doris said they didn’t have the car we wanted in stock, but they could do a tri-state (NY, NJ, CT) search to see if they could get it from another dealer. If the search was successful, Doris said, Lynnes would have the car in 2-3 days. However, in order to initiate the search, I would have to pay a $500 “locate fee.” Doris assured me that the locate fee was fully refundable if the search failed. Wanting to get a car as soon as possible, I agreed to pay the locate fee (after negotiating it down to $300) and gave Doris my credit card info over the phone. At no point did Lynnes Subaru provide me with the terms of the locate fee in writing. The search was initiated and turned up no Outbacks in the tri-state area that met our criteria. In other words, as the terms were explained to me, the search had failed, and my $300 would presumably be refunded. Wrong. The dealership ended up finding us a car from “incoming inventory.” Our car was delivered to the dealership on November 29, almost a month after I’d paid the $300 fee that was supposedly refundable if a car wasn’t quickly obtained from a nearby dealer’s existing inventory. To make matters worse, on the day that our car arrived, Subaru issued a “stop sale” order (essentially a preemptive recall) until a problem with the master brake cylinder could be fixed. So we had to wait another 3+ weeks for the car to be repaired before the dealership could sell it. Finally, on December 23, almost two months after I initially contacted Lynnes Subaru, Akiem Smith called to say the car was ready for pickup. At the dealership, as I was going over the paperwork with Akiem, I noticed that the $300 “locate fee” was still on our tab. (I had actually raised this concern with him earlier, on November 30. He’d told me he wasn’t authorized to remove the charge and that a manager would call me “within a few minutes.” I never received a call from a manager.) Now, when I (re)explained the situation and asked Akiem to remove the charge, he said I’d have to talk to his sales manager, Tony. Tony and I then had a lengthy conversation in which he indignantly refused to refund the “fully refundable” locate fee and complained about the price guaranteed by zag.com—a program Lynnes Subaru participates in voluntarily. Tony did not care that the terms of the locate fee had been misrepresented to me. He did not care that the actual terms I’d agreed to unambiguously called for a refund. All he cared about was squeezing an extra $300 out of us on a car that cost, with taxes and fees, more than $31,000. He even suggested at one point that he would not sell me the car if I was not completely satisfied with the terms. Get this: he told me he wanted to see a smile on my face. “Because what good does it do me,” he said, “to sell a car to a customer who isn’t happy?” Of course, he proceeded to do exactly that. In the end, we walked out of Lynnes Subaru with a bad taste in our mouths, despite having purchased a car we really like. We might buy another Subaru someday, but definitely not from Lynnes, and we’ll continue to spread the word about our unpleasant experience there. At this point, we’re just hoping things are different in the service department and will post another review when the time comes. On the plus side, our salesperson, Akiem Smith, was friendly, helpful, and very conscientious about returning calls and keeping us updated during our wait for the car. For the record, the other fees that Lynnes Subaru charged us included: $7.50 NJ Tire Fee $8.00 CVR Online Processing $450.00 Estimate Registration* $399.00 Documentation Fee** *According to Akiem, this estimated fee covers only the actual registration cost, and we will be refunded any difference. **According to edmunds.com, any documentation fee over $100 is considered “high.” More

Lynne's Nissan Subaru Hyundai should be put out of business. Apparently their concept is to lie about anything to make a sale. Upon calling for the third time and dealing with three different sales business. Apparently their concept is to lie about anything to make a sale. Upon calling for the third time and dealing with three different sales reps that answered the internet sales line, I inquired about a used vehicle listed on AutoTrader as for sale at Lynne's. On the third call, I was told that the vehicle had been sold that day. Still listed 10 days later on the site as being for sale, I once again inquired about the car, this time it was available for sale, after some ridiculous explanation of selling it to another of their locations. I decided to make the three and a half hour trip to see and drive the car based on their listing and verbal assurance of a "CLEAN TRADE IN MINT CONDITION". Upon visual inspection, the front bumper and the hood of the vehicle had the paint chipped off in at least 20 separate spots, as if someone had thrown a handful of rocks at it. The explanation given, was that the roads in New Jersey are bad and this is to be expected on a $20,000 used car. After checking under the hood and finding the oil stick to be about two quarts over full, which the dealer changed and was charging the purchaser for, I took a test drive. The vehicle seemed to drive O.K., except for a thumping sound that increased with acceleration. After bringing this problem to their attention, the service manager said the car needed several new tires and if I bought the car, he implied driving it back to MD. without them would not be safe. These things existed, even after the Carfax showed this dealer trying to sell the vehicle for 3-4 months. No mention of any defects on several communications with them, once again claiming "mint condition". Being placed into a cubicle, to be pressured and lied to from the Sales Manager, about fees that were going to be waved that didn't even exist, for the confusion and inconvenience they caused us, was the final straw. This was a total waste of eight hours and almost two hundred dollars spent for the day. If you see a vehicle that you like in their inventory, you would be highly advised to buy elsewhere, as this is not the only extremely negative review!!!! More

I did not feel comfortable the moment I stepped in the dealership. I only stuck around because they were going to let me test drive the car. Afterwards they held onto my car keys (supposedly appraising my dealership. I only stuck around because they were going to let me test drive the car. Afterwards they held onto my car keys (supposedly appraising my car), license, registration, and all basically tried to peer pressure me into getting the car. I don't know if it was just the salesperson or the dealership as a whole, but I've never been treated like that as a potential consumer. Never going back. More
