PINEBELT CHEVROLET, I have shared my experience and this after enduring your fraudulent and misleading practices that include BAIT AND SWITCH mentioned elsewhere on internet about this practice of yours, and stealing $8K we provided you that was not discounted from the outrageous overcharged transaction purchasing a 2022 LT3 BLAZER in May 2022 totaling over $45k with PINEBELT CHEVROLET. after you advertised on SALE for under $35K. You not stop with BAIT AND SWITCH as part of your rip-off practices, you provided a finance rate of BANK you Claimed only one approved financing at higher rate (than other I learned after purchase approved with lower rate), whom lowered FINANCE RATE on their own. You want details? You know what you do, mine is not the only negative complaint on some of the facts I brought with mine.
