    Business Response

    Date: 07/14/2023

    We appreciate the honest feedback. 
    This guest came in to our dealership looking for a vehicle while working within an extremely tight budget, and a 2011 Chevy Traverse was the only vehicle available within his budget.  We sell used vehicles with prices ranging between $5000 - $15,000. The used vehicles that sell closer to the $5,000 range, like the Traverse, typically end up needing more maintenance and repairs. The guest was given the opportunity before purchasing to test drive the vehicle and/or have it inspected by a 3rd party. The vehicle was clearly marked AS/IS on the buyers guide in the window, and signed off by the guest. We are never shy about disclosing history reports, any pre-existing conditions and needed repairs upon purchase. The guest opted to purchase an extended service plan with a third party, and it sounds like his experience with them has not been great. Every vehicle purchase presents a risk of unexpected maintenance, even brand new vehicles, some will require it sooner than others.
    While I hate hearing about the negative experiences of our guests, I am not sure how much more honest and transparent we can be as a company throughout the purchase process. Perhaps we should consider not selling vehicles under $10,000? This will now be discussed thanks to the guests feedback. We are willing to help and value the guests business and feedback.  
    My offer is to help the guest with current and/or future repairs. I will give him 50% DISCOUNT on any labor needed his first visit back.
