Business ProfileforAutonation Volkswagen Mall of Georgia

On 05/27/2024, I visited the Autonation VW dealership and spent 3 hours essentially waiting to be the victim of a bait-and-switch tactic by their sales team. In my initial inquiry, I specifically stated that I wanted to see a Cornflower Blue VW Taos listed under $30K that qualified for a 0% interest rate for 60 months. When I showed up, the salesman had a Navy Blue Taos listed for $36K for me to test drive. When I declined, he was able to "find" a Cornflower Blue one for presumably under $30K. We test drove it, and I agreed to the purchase. We went back inside and he prepared a price quote - but with the interest rate of *****%. The monthly payments were in the vicinity of $580! I politely asked him to rework the quote but this time run a credit report on me to see that I would qualify for a zero percent interest rate. Of course, I did. I know my credit score. It's very, very good. The monthly payments dropped to $440 a month. I signed the deal, and the salesman asked me to contact my insurance to add the new car to my policy. As I was on the phone with my insurance provider, the salesman snatched the sales quote out of my hand and hurriedly left his office. I had not even given the *** number to my insurance provider yet. I went to see what was going on. He was at the front desk with a newly prepared sales quote. This time, the monthly payments were $518 - indicating the price on the car had increased about $5K. The salesman unapologetically said that the wrong car had been input to their system for the first 2 quotes and that this third one was for the car that I test drove. Clearly, this tactic is generally considered "bait-and-switch" by most business professionals. It is an unscrupulous activity. I cannot believe the audacity of this aged sales rep to attempt to deceive me so obviously. I cancelled the sale, retrieved the keys to my car, and left their garish establishment angry and disappointed. Buyer beware at this car dealership! Don't waste your time.
