I would advise anyone looking at buying a new or used car to find another dealership. Sansone Jr 66 Automall is listed as a "D-" on the Better Business Bureau and their business practices follow suit.

I walked into the dealership on President's Day weekend looking at a used car that was posted on their website for $23,000. I went in for a test drive and I was shocked to find out that the actual price of the car was over $25,000 after you read the fine print, which includes over $2,000 of discounts that you must qualify for. They were going to be kind enough to "give me a deal" at $24,000, but I respectfully declined and continued my search because I don't appreciate the bait and switch.

A few days later, I receive a text message from the salesperson offering me $21,900. I agree to come in to "work the numbers" again and give them a second chance. When I came in, the price of the vehicle jumped up again since someone had "called in a deposit via credit card" earlier that day. In order to purchase the vehicle, I was going to have to bid higher than the $23,500 price they had called in. [Yes, they actually tried to engage me in a bidding war when someone else already had a deposit on the vehicle.]

Note: The same vehicle that I'm looking at is currently posted for $21,500 on their website.

To me, this is despicable behavior for any business and I would advise everyone to heed the warnings of the Better Business Bureau and walk away.
