Our records indicate we have sent you 4 consecutive unanswered emails. We don't have a telephone number from your lead on the 2003 S-10 Pick-up. We regret to let you know the truck has been purchased. This is the email address we used. Sorry we didn't connect. If we trade for another truck similar we will definitely reach out to you. Can we get a telephone number to call or text?

From the second we walked in it was a no-nonsense, user-friendly, and ultimately, successful experience. Our sales consultant, Tim Faber, was on a mission to make us happy with as much of a win/win s More

We were bothered by a few things. .. Cash would not be excepted without agreeing to an 1800.00 policy addition... and the car we test drove was filthy inside and out. More

We appreciate your business. As you are aware dealers across the nation are experiencing an unprecedented low supply of new vehicles. Therefore dealers are pricing the cars from 2000 to 10000 over MSRP just to get a chance to buy one. In our case, we offer products with value to help us maintain our margins and survive during this production shortage. You gas stations and grocery stores have raised their prices significantly as well and your seeing that in those prices. Somehow, some people feel differently when it is an automobile dealer. We try to be as transparent as possible. We certainly understand not wanting to pay the increases. We feel the same way. Thank you for the feedback.

We found a 2019 Honda Ridgeline that we liked. The truck had recently been moved to this dealer from Russ Darrow Honda in Menomonee Falls. Price was ok but not a great deal. There were several More

All used cars are available for inspection and preview prior to purchasing. This vehicle was priced extremely well in the market which is why you came to look at it. The price was low because of the items you described. It was in good but not perfect condition. The fact is you wanted more money off or the items repaired. We simply declined to that for the price posted. We wish you were happy with the experience. The staff commented that you were courteous and thanked them before you left.

Found an used car that I was hoping to purchase at this dealership, and I had pre-arranged my own financing to do so. After the test drive, I mentioned that I would prefer my own financing and was told it More

CD, Respectfully; the back and fourth is the issue. Our vehicles are priced very aggressively in the market and additional discounts and the like are very unlikely. We do consider every reasonable offer and sometimes decide an offer from a different client is the better option for our dealership. The fact that you wanted to make an offer less than the published price is why the other options were presented. We wish your experience ended differently.

That would be reasonable if I had ever gotten the opportunity to make an offer to begin with. -- in fact, I want to clarify for anyone who stumbles upon this review: it is impossible for a different offer to be considered "more reasonable" because I was barred from making an offer at all, simply because I didn't want to employ your in-house financing. I was fully prepared to make an offer (in cash if necessary) well above the asking price, but you flat out refused to sell me the vehicle because I didn't want to use one of your lending partners. If you were being honest about the "small cut" you get from the interest on the loans you direct through your lending partners, I would have been happy to offset that cost, but you never gave me the chance. Spin it however you wish, there was no "better offer" because that would imply an offer was established.
