    Status:
    Answered
    On Friday, January 16, 2024, I took my mother to pick up her new ******* ******. I had made the arrangements via text with Bill ******. All information was taken straight from their website and I sent the snapshot to Bill to confirm the price of $30,585. In addition, she received a ** discount of $500. We arrived during a snowstorm on Friday evening and Bill had the car in the showroom ready to go. When w went to sign the papers, the total was well over $35,000. I asked what the extra charges were. Bill kept explaining them away stating that this was for the warranty. I was confused, I asked several times, but he kept explaining them away. Mom signed the papers. That night I couldn’t sleep as I was thinking about that extra charge. I texted Bill the next day and he said that the $2495 was added as an interior/exterior warranty. I asked that they cancel the warranty. He said that is something that was applied to the car and could not be refunded. The thing is, he had applied this BEFORE we even arrived on site. I was never asked if I wanted this product added to the car. In fact, all other additional warranties were declined. He went on to say that they add this to ALL new vehicles. This was not part of the price breakdown provided online. Kerry says they have “Transparent Pricing”. This is totally false. How many other people have had to pay for this product that is placed on the car without permission. I am wondering if this is even legal. I have emailed Kerry with no response. I have left a voice message for Kerry with no response. I just want my mother to be reimbursed for the product that was deviously placed on the car. In addition, if this is indeed the practice of Kerry Hyundai, it should be stopped. If it was just a terrible practice of the salesman to make an extra buck, he should have to reimburse the cost in my opinion. We have purchased 5 -6 cars from Kerry over the years. This will be the last if not rectified.

    This dealership is the hardest dealership I have ever tried to buy a car from. You would think with a crashing economy & vehicle repossessions being at an all time height they would want to sell a vehicle. This was an all cash deal. Eventually they lost the sale because of the dishonesty and stupid "rules" in place. I worked with 3 different salesmen all on one vehicle. I was told that it did not pass a safety check and that it was being sold at an auction, I was told by another that it was already sold. After a week it had not been removed from their website and also had actual photos uploaded so I submitted an offer online. At that point Trent reached out and told me I would be able to buy the car, however they would not take a penny less. So I had him inspect the car and make sure it was everything that the photos made it look like. He kindly did so and called me back. At this point I tried to place a $4000 down payment on a credit card to hold the vehicle for a couple weeks while I made plans to come get it. I am from out of state and would need to secure airfare to retrieve the vehicle. The $4000 down was approx. 1/3 of the vehicle's price. The dealership refused to hold the vehicle for more than 1 day. How are you supposed to book a flight and hope the car is still there by the time the flight takes off? This dealer had a vehicle I really wanted. It was super clean and priced well. But after 3 attempts I'll find another deal. This dealership has no care for customer service at all. If you want to be lied to, railroaded, and waste your time buy your next vehicle from Kerry Hyundai. UPDATE. I received a call from the manager, he could not possibly understand how I shared the truthful review I posted. He couldn't understand why I would want to buy a "beater" his own words... (the same car they described the day before as almost perfect!) The phone call ended with, so your one of those people. Great customer service and choice of manager! Dodged a bullet here!

    This consumer is going to be reported for fraudulent activity, this consumer has never been to our location and lives out of state and area, supposedly in MN but has a SD address, wanting us to hold a 13-year-old vehicle for weeks. We are sorry your upset, but we support our local market and customers 1st.

    Is this how you keep such high feedback? You get your 1 star reviews labeled as "Fraudulent?" Had you taken the time to earn my business you would have already sold a vehicle made a profit and gotten the opportunity to see my drivers license that clearly has a ********* address. Instead you would rather write a review trying to degrade a customers character in an attempt to keep your review score higher. Why do you even list your vehicles for sale on the internet? If you are unwilling to sell a vehicle out of area, there is no reason for a website. Local customers are your 1st priority so let them buy all of your cars, and pay all your overhead! Delete your website quit wasting the internet buyers time!
