              Answered
              Breach of contract and failure to disclose damage, year make and model, and prices. I paid **** in down payment. Committed to giving me a 2023 Limited FX SVHO and trailer for ******.oo dollars plus tax and registration. They did not try to resolve the problem besides returning my down payment. Several instances of truthfulness. This started on fathers day June 19/ July 3/July 19 is when it came to ahead. Then today 8/1/2023 I learned the trailer that was supposed to be 2023 (NEW) trailer was in face a 2007 trailer. They lied the items I purchased and want them to honor the deal the ** agreed to. I purchased a 2014 jet ski FX SVHO and had a lot of problems that I was assured was fixed. They sold me a brand-new trailer. But got the title in the mail and it was not new but a 2007 trailer. Then after all the problems they agreed to sell me a brand-new limited FX SVHO and the (new) trailer originally purchased. I met with the General Manager and he stated he would sell me the new jet ski plus trailer for ****** dollars. I even wrote this down twice one for me and for him. Only extra fee would be tax and registration. That night I looked at the jet ski while it was left out and found it was damaged and never reported. I got a phone call from the financer and tried to push through the financing and changed the deal without telling me. They told me about the monthly payment over the phone and it was way higher then it should be. I confronted him and learned they add the trailer as extra another **** dollars. The excuse was ** normally doesn't sell items and did understand the process. So he knew the original deal and modified it without telling me. I spoke to the ** and he acknowledged that he did agree to that but after the fact realized he would lose money and can't do that. (More to this). But this is the basic side of it.

              STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. THE PRODUCT THEY SELL (BENNINGTON) IS DEFECTIVE and the company is a nightmare to deal with their service. Read below for details.UPDATE:5/25 PM - Finally had an update from GM - they won't be able to get the boat in to diagnose the issues until 6/2. This is 3 weeks AFTER I notified them of the issue. No ETA on return.5/25 AM - River Valley finally picked the boat on Friday (5/19). I still do not have an update on the cause, estimated time on return, or even what's been done. I'm now working with the General Manager, *****, but that's not been much help.Overall, one of the worst purchasing experiences that I've had. River Valley can sell with the best of them, but getting them to stand behind their service seems to be a huge issue.5/16 Unfortunately, with only 8.6 hours on the boat, it started to sink. I called the rep on Sunday night and sent over several pictures demonstrating the issue. The Sales Rep immediately responded and started to escalate internally. It is 9:00 AM on Tuesday and the rep is the only one who seems to care about this issue. This is after leaving several phone calls and messages for Service and even the General Manager. At this point, I wouldnt recommend River Valley if this is how they take care of their customers after the check clears.
