    Status:
    Answered
    2 days after purchasing the vehicle, I was reviewing the car documents and I noticed a $3487 discrepancy ADDED TO the actual listed price of the vehicle.Vehicle Listed Price=32,299 Plus Taxes listed=2223.45 Total= ********* The receipt they provided me shows price of vehicle plus tax=$38,008.45 A discrepancy overage =$3487. The FINANCE Manager had clearly explained to me about the service warranty and the *** coverage (both of which I did accept and purchase). He also explained all other forms and all other fees IN DETAIL.. CONVENIENTLY, HE NEGLECTED TO MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT "ACCESSORIES PACKAGE". None of the online forms, which I also signed included this fee. All other charges were clearly noted. However, there was still an additional $3486 excess which I could not account for.*********** then screenshoted me a picture of a form with an "accessories" charge which UNBEKNOWNST TO ME, I had signed. I had no clue what that meant. I never purchased or asked for any accessories package. I was already charged for the *** coverage and the Warranty.. so why the heck was I charged this "accessories fee" WITH NO EXPLANATION"I even spoke with the General Manager, and requested an explanation. He said only the finance person could provide me the answer. Finance person did call and INSISTED that the salesperson told me about this "Accessories Fee/City Package.I was adamant that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE EVER MENTION OR DISCUSSED THIS $3487 FEE.He then stated this fee is added to every car they sell.I reminded him that he had clearly explained every other fee, including ***, SERVICE warranty, registration, title tax etc.But no one spoke a word on this fee. I was never even given this copy until I inquired and demanded an explanation for the difference in the price. I'm requesting they refund this "accessories fee" which was added to the listed price of the car without disclosure then also taxed without my knowledge. *****************************

    On October 24, 2023, I purchased a vehicle from this dealer. The vehicle was a trade in that was traded in a month prior to me purchasing. While at the dealer that day, I was notified that the vehicle would need a couple repairs and the pieces had already been ordered and were in route. I was assured that the vehicle had been given an inspections and everything came back clear and the vehicle was good to be driven. I was given the option to leave the vehicle there that day or bring the vehicle back the next day when the parts got there for repair. I chose to just bring the car back the next day. The pieces didn't get there until 2 days later, which at that time I was called and told to bring the vehicle back for repairs and that the repairs would only take 3-4 hours. 3-4 hours turned into 5 days. I was given a loaner vehicle that day when they Realized that they ordered the wrong pieces. I was told the vehicle would be fixed the next day when the new pieces came and they ended up having the car for 5 days total. Then there was the problem with the paperwork. I asked for a work order showing what parts were repaired on the vehicle, just to ensure that everything they said was going to fixed was. I still haven't received 1. I was never given my truth and lending disclosure with my packet of paperwork. I asked for paperwork stating this and was told to just take **** word. *** got fired a week later.(found this out a little later) I also asked several times about receiving 2 key fobs for my vehicle due to the fact that I have 3 young children and the probability of 1 getting lost was very high. I was told they would call Jeep and look into it, but yet they still gave me paperwork saying they gave me 2 key fobs with the vehicle!! The vehicle has a lot of after market parts put on it by the previous owner. The vehicle had 26 tires with 24 rims. I found this out after getting a flat the 2nd day driving it. This place is sketchy and lies on paperwork. BE CAUTIOUS.
