We had an agreed upon price for a used Kia on line, through TruCar, as well as an offer for my trade in. After test driving the car, salesman stuck a mandatory warranty sticker on the car. When we sat More

False!!! It clearly states on dealer site all trade are subject to change. You of course put in your trade as excellent condition when it has damage. Dealer must see trade to give you an exact value on your trade. As for you saying you had an agreed price False again. We are a family owned dealer. TruCar is a website. They can not give you a price as taxes and fees are different all over. You never spoke to anybody about price and came in with your own numbers off TruCar website I was told, No harm no foul. Good luck on your car shopping. Please if you don't get your way again please don't leave another false review.

False!!!! The condition of the car was listed as average wear for body and interior, mechanically above average. There is no damage to the car. There is normal wear associated with a 12 year car with 162000 miles. No damage, dents or rust. Not enough to lower the offer by 23%. The price of your car was your advertised on the Mcgrath web page, as well as on TruCar. I agree you didn't raise the price of the car, you just added in $5000 worth of unadvertised, unnecessary, and unwanted fees. Those fees are not listed on the Mcgrath website, and your sales manager could not show me where they are. And your internet sales rep, Georgeann verified the Mcgrath web site advertised price over the phone before I scheduled the appointment. I purchased another vehicle from another dealer, an on-line retailer, so no harm, no foul. Please, if you are called out again on adding unscrupulous fees, don't leave a negative reply for the reviewer. I now know why your dealer is rated 28th out of 31 Kia dealers in Illinois on Dealerrater.com

I was not satisfied. They made this a very difficult process from start to finish. If it was not such a great car, I would've walked away after my initial contact with them. If you're looking for a new More
