I used the Martin Kia website to research inventory and discovered that two Kia Souls were listed as available. Initially emailing sales reps stalled a timely response but the General Sales Manager Shannon More

Mr. Davidson, Thank you for taking the time to review Martin Kia. We strive each day to exceed our customer's expectations. In some aspects we let you down and we apologize for that. Please understand that with the inventory shortage and keeping our entire staff working a surcharge is needed. Also, please understand we have one of the lowest if not the lowest fee due to the current market conditions. We thank you for your Kia Soul purchase. Be safe.

In response to your reply to my review, vehicle inventory should not be a Buyer issue and should not be cause for an arbitrary surcharge. As all businesses have to do, managing overhead responsibly may mean a reduction in staff, a change in hours of operation, etc., but it should not mean that every buyer now has to support your cost of doing business. If you find this necessary, at least remove the MSRP from window stickers and inventory postings and advise buyers of the price when they ask. At least, that approach will be less shocking than throwing a surcharge on top of what the maufacturer recommends charging. In closing, you not only did not exceed my expectations, you left a bad taste in my mouth for the whole transaction. Your apology and lame reference to gouging less that other dealers does nothing to resolve my feelings.

Martin Kia responded

Rob M, Please accept our apology for your experience at Martin Kia. We strive each day to exceed our customer's expectations. We clearly did not in your case. I have forwarded your comments onto upper management. As you know inventory is a struggle for dealerships across the country. Why you were told the vehicle that you were interested in was available when it was not, I cannot answer except to say we made a mistake. Our inventory is limited and in many cases are pre-sold or sold within minutes after the vehicle is delivered on our lot. Again, please accept our apology for misinforming you.
