    Status:
    Answered
    On 6/29/2024 I purchased a vehicle from Eastern Shore Toyota. I traded a vehicle in on the new vehicle that I bought. I received the bill of sale and other paperwork to get the tag transfered to the new vehicle. I was unable to get the tag because of a mistake that the dealership made which charged me an extra $308.15 in taxes. When I finally made contact with the saleman he told me that I need to get the tag office to reimburse me. I went back to the tag office and I got a manager from the dealership on the phone with an employee at the tag office. The employee told the manager that the bill of sale was wrong and that a corrected bill of sale was needed. The manager still sent the wrong paperwork, sending a buyers order instead. So, I asked the manager of the dealership can this be corrected and she said that the person doing that was gone for the day. So, I'm still without a tag and there is the matter of the money, $308.15 that I was over charged. *** made numerous calls to the dealership to speak with another manager. I have yet to hear anything back. I've made numerous attempts to contact someone through their internet chat and same result. The dealership has charged me $29,748.15 when in reality I should have been charged $29,440.

    Plan to nap while ya wait, 3 - 4 hours. If your trading in, plan to give your car away or except their insulting offer. Good credit, bad credit don't matter they plan to get you in the finance department and sell ya all the extra's. I think perfect credit deserves better than an ****% So I did my homework on 1 car, across the US on all, but they had one, lucky me right down the street, saves the time of ordering a new one. 2020 Cadillac xt4, ***** miles, fairly nice. Run the vin # from home, *****, Carfax, GMC, Truecar, run the recalls, warranties, did my foot work, did this on 3 car two were pretty far away, so we doing this one. Emailed back and forth, cautious as to the wording not to entrap myself, "sign nothing online by the way with a dealer" so finally settled on a price, made it clear as day a pick up, in and out. Price was clear, out the door. So I get there, from that point on it turned in to days of unbelievable, trade a no go, used cash, finance a joke and insulting, poor communication, fibs to assure the sale, look like they doing you a favor, I was mad in finance the whole time, agued/talked she knew I wasn't happy at all. Lied about a 7 month pay off penalty. All this could have been avoid up front with honesty, it was not, it was greeted with 500 off before the finance department, they knew ahead of time. I said I would fix it, against what she said, all contracts are null and void now, I owe you nothing, I owe the bank nothing, should have been more honest. Now about that rear end repair and cracked windshield you failed to mention, I was told in person a call would be made, so far it has not or poor communications. No damage was mentioned, little shady there, at least very questionable. Just complete aggravation with the whole car buying experience, Try honesty as a whole and this would not be happening. I do not recommend anything about this place, arrogantly txts uncalled for and unprofessional. Make it right.
