I inquired on a car on a Tuesday, upon learning that it is available, I asked about trading in two cars from out of state. The salesman told me that would be no problem, they have a team that could drive my new car up and my trade in's back down and that I should go ahead with the credit application. I submit my credit application a couple hours before close, heard I was approved and moved onto the next day, my salesman was off so no word on Wednesday. Thursday evening comes and I get a call that I may have to find other financing, not a big deal. I got an approval through my credit union and all was well. That's when the dealership went back on their word that they can no longer bring me the car, and that I would have to drive both 7+ hours to do the deal. After back and forth due to the lies stated above, we agreed that they could ship one of my cars down and I would drive the other, not ideal or what we agreed on before a credit application, but acceptable terms. That was on Saturday, come Monday I communicated with my salesman that I am signing loan documents and the check is in the mail to them to pay for the car. No response for a few hours, then I received a text that stated "I just got word that a friend of the owners came in about an hour ago and bought the vehicle. Since they were a friend we ended up selling them the vehicle." I made sure to ask if the rest of the dealership knew that car was SOLD with the loan funded and money actively on the way to the dealer, and the salesman responded "It was yes. The customer came this morning and is local." All in all, I was coerced into applying for financing on a car under a lie that they could bring me the car, and then after I secured my own financing and send them the money they sell the car out from under me because a friend of the owner walked in to look at a SOLD car. This was an all around terrible experience. Never deal with them.
