    I bought a Cadillac Lyriq 2/25/2023. My salesman Caleb told me there was a $1500 promotion for electric vehicles to help defray the cost of hooking up the electric in your home. I bought the car and called the dealer numerous times about the rebate as nothing had come in the mail. My salesman Caleb was no longer there so I finally reached Jr Johnson who was a manager. He informed I wouldn't get it as they had given it to the previous owner. I told him I was the original owner. The car had 2 miles on it when I looked at it and 6 miles on it on delivery. On the contract under the box that said if this car was delivered to a previous owner ck this box. The box was not checked. I asked Jr who the previous owner was he said he didn't know. I said that's crazy I did not buy a preowned car. He said "this conversation is over" and he proceeded to hang up on me.

    Dealership word means nothing. Went to trade in my 2023 Nissan Leaf for a new GMC 1500. Iesha Craig was my sales person and she was very friendly. They offered a trade in for the Leaf of $27000 after testing and driving the car. I didnt purchase the car that day and went home. Next day I called to tell Iesha that I was not purchasing the gmc but wanted to sell the Nissan to their dealership. She asked me to wait for her to talk to the manager, she came back with a $25000 offer just for the car. I ask to think about it. 3 days later I contacted Iesha again, and told her that I wanted to sell the car to them and we set up an appointment for Monday, I went ready to turn in the car, as they promised. Guess what, now they said the offer is $21500 and not the $25000 that I was offered. The car had only 100 more miles than when first tested. Rudely she said, well thanks for coming. The dealership words means nothing, they want to get you in the door to sell you something, if not, Thank you for coming. Very bad way to do business.
