              They told me I was approved for a 2016 Jeep Compass. I put a $1000.00 down, we did this Monday 06/05/2023 and today 06/09/2023 they informed me that I was not approved and that I needed to bring the vehicle back and I would not receive my $1000.00 down payment back. I would like my $1000.00 back.

              Just terrible , got a car here and notified them I live out of state , tried to drag me into a yo-yo scam, a month after having the car I was told the loan never got approved and I needed to put more money down and was sent more paperwork with a new contract with a 27% arp .. would end up paying double what the car is worth, was told the guy I originally did paperwork with quit, the bank said the information they received was ineligible, never got another temp tag so the car wasnt drivable , couldnt get a tag because the car was never put in my name, when I didnt want to put more money down and wanted nothing to do with them they reported the car stolen after I told them to come and get it, got the cops to come harass my family, just all downright terrible. Just go to a better dealership and avoid this one.
