    On 4-4-24, my daughter, ***************************, and my wife, *************************** looked at Nelson **** in Grand Forks, ND for a vehicle for Karrah. *****************************, worked with them and took them on a test drive. On the test drive, ***** told ****** would have 30 days to change her mind and return the vehicle. After the drive, they sat at *****'s desk and again, ***** told them ****** would have 30 days to change her mind. I was willing to co-sign for the vehicle loan. ***** told them he would personally deliver the vehicle to our home and bring the paperwork to sign. On 4-11-24, ***** brought the vehicle to our home and I signed the paperwork. Once I signed the paperwork, ***** stated he would send me a copy. On 4-11-24, after vehicle was delivered, we took it for a ride and saw the tire pressure was on. Karrah texted Caden. ***** called and told her the vehicle was still under warranty and it will be in the paperwork. After 4-11-24, we kept contacting the place to get a copy of the papers and report issues with the vehicle. No one would respond or return calls. On 5-1-24, ****** texted Caden asking when the paperwork would be sent. No response. On 5-7-24, I texted Caden that we need to return the Jeep. I also texted we didn't receive the paperwork for the jeep. Within 10 minutes Caden called. I told him I wanted to return the vehicle since he told them 30 days to return it. ***** denied that he said it and said he would have his supervisor contact me. The superivsor called back and stated he didn't believe ***** said it and they weren't going to take the vehicle back. Again I asked for the paperwork and the supervisor stated he would put it in the mail. On 5-13-24, I again texted ***** and asked for paperwork. No response. On 5-14-24, ***** and ****** went to Nelson **** and requested a copy of the paperwork. They were told they would put it in the mail. And they were told to leave the property. To this day, we haven't gotten the paperwork.

    Purchase a 2020 Lincoln ***************** Label and had it delivered to my home. Upon arrival the vehicle was filthy and had a musty smell to it. The vehicle was not washed or detailed as documented. I requested the inspection performed by the dealership as when I went to wash it the next morning the sunroof was leaking as if it were a faucet as when/if they washed and detailed this wouldve been noticed. I found wrappers throughout the vehicle, broken pieces, animal hair, a hairbrush, and puzzle pieces! I called the dealership right after the carwash to tell them I would like them to come pick the vehicle up. This was not depicted in photos and they will not give us the inspection performed on the vehicle. Im in shock out of all dealers I have dealt with Ive never had a vehicle arrive in such condition or have a problem not listed. The general sales manager its hard to get people to work nowadays as to why my vehicle showed up the way it did. I would not recommend doing business with them as they are unwilling to resolve problems or produce documentation of what they had done with this vehicle since they purchased it from an auction.
