We drove four hours to this dealership to look at a vehicle, which from the photos, looked fantastic. I had done a lot of research, and this appeared to be a great deal, even compared to the other one's. In fact, we had plans to visit another dealer but we talked on the way there about if this was what we were told and expected we were ready to sign and drive this one out. Once we got there, however, it became evident from the start why it appeared to be a good deal. There was rust all over this thing, in not so obvious places. There was a golf ball sized whole by the tailgate. The underside was covered in rush. Under the hood, nearly every piece of metal was rusted. This should have been disclosed up front, especially knowing how far we came. The only reason we looked at others was because we had come so far.
The sales person and manager were nice enough, but this place behaves like a stereotypical used car dealer. Never wanting to talk about the price of the vehicle and only focusing on the monthly payment. For any novices out there, do NOT haggle over monthly payments. They love this. Talk price only. The payments will sort themselves out. Anyway, they wound up pushing a vehicle that was 3-4k more than i planned to spend, but I humored them. After our down payment and trade it came to around 15k. They came back with payments of 370, minimum. That is way more than it should be. At 15k payments should be around 300. No matter how many times i asked they wouldn't show me the rate. All they would respond with was, "how much per month are you comfortable with?"
Needless to say, we said we were going to continue shopping elsewhere. Wound up going down the road and found a beautiful truck, for 3k less than this one(which wasn't in nearly as good as shape as the one we bought).
I would avoid this place. As i said, the people are plenty nice, but it's auto shopping. You're not looking for friends, you're looking for a deal.
