This is my first time shot at writing any kind of review since the circumstances surrounding it, warranted them. First and foremost, I did get a good deal on a pre-owned 2013 Hyundai Elantra which I did purchase it from Ide Honda in Rochester, NY. Our sales representative, Leigh was amazing and helpful.
In Response to Rich Ide's Post:
Thank you very much for taking time out to respond to my post. My version of story is as following: Before arriving at your dealership, we had done all our paperwork and had been approved for a loan through Bank of America (BOA). The representative at Bank of America provided us a loan approval letter and advised that we would take this letter to a BOA authorized dealer, which you are, and the dealer will call in the number listed on the loan approval letter to activate the credit for the loan. We conveyed this to Adam but he insisted we would have to get some kind of "approval" for this loan. We totally understand that we might be unaware of this process but the way it was conveyed to us by Adam was really made us feel like, that there is some kind of reservation about us in his mind. Other instance was when we were about to pay off the down payment. My fiancee advised she would like to pay via her credit card or we can split in two debit cards as both the debit cards have their daily expenditure limit. His demeanor changed and in a way he strongly said, "I thought you guys came with cash" and "Why didn't we convey about this method pf payment for the down payment?". Although we had never mentioned anything about a cash payment to him or the sales rep. We had bought our Rav4 here in Lia Albany and they had happily split our down payment in two debit card payments, so we're under the assumption that, it is a common norm. Again, I would reiterate, we totally understand we can't be right at all times but the way we're treated, was not right either. We (I and my fiancee) both work in customer facing industry where we have to face some tough clients and do understand the stress that goes along in the work but a being a little kinder and understanding does the trick.
Truly, we both don't have any hard feelings about Adam or your dealership. We're happy with our car and thanks again for taking time out to respond.
