Upon arrival, I was greeted by Tom(?). I told him I was there to see a used Honda CR-V that was pictured on their website. He wasn't familiar with that vehicle on the lot, but instead of offering to show me anything, he wanted to try the credit application first to check financing options. My credit score recently dropped dramatically due to my own poor financial decisions and I was hoping for a buy here, pay here plan. The salesman explained that I would probably have a better chance financing at a lower APR with a third party lender. I appreciated that he wanted to see if I could get approved before getting my hopes up for an suv that I couldn't afford. He asked me some important features that I was looking for in my car search. I told him a compact suv for better gas mileage, leather interior because I have small children and it would be easier to clean, I was looking for a vehicle with lower miles on the odometer because I'm very cautious when purchasing used vehicles... etc. He found a black Nissan Moreno that fit the description perfectly. Better yet, it was a vehicle that would most likely aide in helping me gain third party financing because you have to choose something with less than 100k miles. OK. I took the vehicle for a test drive and there was a terrible moldy odor in the vehicle and it felt like the transmission was stalling. The salesman explained that the windows may have been left down after the full detailing--- the suv was exceptionally clean... I did not enjoy the test drive so I let him know I was not interested in that particular vehicle. Before I could see anything else, I was informed that the financing was not approved. My down payment was too low; the creditor was asking for 20% or better. As a single mom, I don't make enough to have that kind of money in my savings. I had to walk away. Sev, from the customer relations department stayed in touch with me over the next couple of weeks via phone calls and text. He was very courteous and professional. He even tried to work with me again. I have seen a couple vehicles that I would like to test drive that are below $5k, which I could apply for on-the-lot financing. When I save a sizable down payment, I will return.
