    Answered
    I purchased a new vehicle from this dealership and during verbal/written communication I thought we had a fair agreement. I was excited to purchase a new vehicle at what I thought was an agreed upon price, only to find out that they changed some numbers on the back end to make it look like a good deal. I never would have purchased a new truck for the price they hid from me verbally, I feel as though I was overcharged by $5k. The paperwork they showed me before purchase lead me to believe the final purchase price was $69,000 or so but it ended up being $74,000. I understand mistakes happen and sometimes one party is not on the same page as the other but I think that dealerships should but upfront about their practices. If the final loan is going to be $74k then they should make that very clear, not in the fine print. I never would have signed the agreement if they made it clear to me what they were doing to make it seem like I was getting a good deal. All I ask for is more transparency, make the final outcome of a deal obvious to both parties involved.

    Was talked into buying a truck I couldnt afford , I test drove a 2022 when numbers were placed in front of me. It was on a 2023 that I went back-and-forth on for a while and they never showed me the vehicle until I looked at the numbers closely, my salesman filed my credit application online and asked me the questions, I never saw the form , they lied on my credit application they asked me if I could show proof of income for the specific amount they put on my credit application and I specifically told them no that I dont make that much ,The sated on the application I made more than my monthly gross income and saying that me and my mother are the liars that they didnt nothing wrongContacted consumer affair 2 hours later the dealer called me and i was laughed at and was told they wasnt going to do anything to solve the problem, and that they cant help I dont budget my money correctly.They do not care whatsoever of trying to help people they made money from my sale. Thats all that matters to them. They got both of my trade-ins and now Im stuck with a vehicle that I cant afford.
