I went in yesterday (9/19/20) to buy two vehicles. I had a deal closed with two great interest rates and was ready to sign. I spent the better part of a full day working with wonderful professionals to get the deal. I am ready to close and the inventory manager reneged on the entire deal and changed all the terms.

I have over $23000 between equality in my trades and cash I am willing to put down. The inventory manager comes to me and tells me to my face that I should pay my bills. I have never been so grossly offended in all my life. I know in my heart the reason this happened was in combination because I was black and that ownership felt like they could get more money for the new vehicles I was purchasing.

I have over half a million dollars in my bank account. I have paid my house and every vehicle I own off. This past year I have donated over $15000 to local recreation parks and athletic programs. I have never been one to spend money on expensive cars or apparel. I find such things to be a waste. I try to live a minimalist lifestyle.

I was so mad, with all that transpired, I came back with bank statements, the deed on my house, deeds of land I own back in NC and the titles to my two cars.

The way the man offended brought me to instant anger because I knew if I was a white man he never would have said those words to me. The worst thing someone can do is make assumptions about someone s work ethic and character.

Since I have been living in Georgia, I have purchased 5 vehicles from Sons Honda. In the past I had always worked with Cathy Miller and she was always world class in professionalism and care. I plan to contact the GM and their corporate headquarters on Monday. For me to be as loyal I was to this branch and Honda and be treated this way is appalling.

The sad part about all this is a young lady was denied two sales. Asyndrea was an amazing sales agent who bent over backwards to give exactly what I wanted in terms of vehicles and information. She was diligent, detailed, and was professional the whole visit. Before I left, if I didn t get the deal I wanted, I would have been willing to pay cash fir both vehicles.

I feel bad for the minorities that work with the gentleman I encountered. I am shocked this man holds any type of leadership position. I will make sure that the people I do business with, and my friends know to never go to this location again. I also will never set foot on that lot as long as I live.
