If you read my review it clearly states I already spoke with you trying to remedy the issue before I wrote my review. Let me refresh your memory, our conversation went like this…“ I’m not sure what you expect me to do for you.” and I replied, you need to make this right. You, along with the GM of the dealership refused to do anything to make this right.. I had to eat $6k so no, I won’t be wasting anymore time or energy on this matter or Germain ever again. It was important for me to teach my son not to lie, clearly your salesman didn’t get that lesson.
