      Answered
      On October the 12th my wife and I stopped to look at a 2022 ****** ****** pickup. It had roughly 9760 miles on it. We talked to the salesman for a few minutes and discussed the sale price of $ 43,896. We were upfront about the price and clearly asked what was the bottom dollar? The salesman had to talk to the manager. I clearly asked was going to pull my credit report. He said well if you want to buy we will. I said only if the number is right. We could not agree on a number. So we left. When I got home I checked my credit report and they had pulled my credit a total of 12 times. When I asked them why? The salesman said we were just trying to get you a good deal. Pulling one's credit report that many times only does damage. We had no idea what they were doing. This completely blindsided us. We had even agreed on a price yet. Then we received a letter in the mail from one of the creditors and it said that they submitted a loan amount of 47,000 plus. this was more than the asking price. Wrong all the way around. I want my credit fixed. I will not be doing any business with the dealership in the future. Absolutely no communication.

      Don't go there . . . just don't!!!!!! We went to purchase a new vehicle at a price advertised on tv. The salesman (Nathan) said that ad was a mistake and they didn't have any new cars at that price but he had a certified pre-owned used car he thought we would be interested in. It was nice and we ended up purchasing it. After signing the papers, they handed my husband a key. My husband asked for the second key and was told there was only one key with the car. I asked Nathan if he had asked the previous owner for the second key and he said he never bothers with that. I called the manager (Bill) and asked him about a second key and he said if we had requested a second key before the paperwork was signed they would have gotten us one but not now. We didn't know until after the paperwork was signed and they handed us the key that it was the ONLY key. They told me it would be $450 for a new key or I could use their key vendor and have one made for $250. He said he would have Nathan call us with the information for the key vendor. Didn't hear back from Nathan and called him repeatedly throughout the week but he wasn't taking our calls. Finally had to return to the dealership and Nathan said Bill didn't give him a message to call and Bill said he guessed he just forgot. The lack of professionalism and condescending attitudes are unbelievable. It's like a daycare center without a supervisor. They have bad attitudes with childlike behavior. They are more trouble than they are work and once you've signed the paperwork, they have no more use or respect for you. Terrible experience.
