I went there to buy a New Jeep Grand Cherokee, the buying process went well, salesperson was very helpful and knowledgeable, I ended up purchasing a Demo model car - I was told this means one of the team at Fred Martin was driving it to work and back to add visibility on the road to the car, I was okay with that.
I collected the car and drove home, as I didn't expect anything wrong with a new car I didn't do a full inspection, when I got home and saw the backseats I saw that this was not just a demo car, this was a used family car, the back of the front passenger seat was badly scuffed from a child sitting in a car seat kicking that chair, there were also clear imprints of a car seat in the back seat. I contacted the store and they said I was given a discount due to it being a demo car - NOT TRUE, I went to that store because of advertised discounts and there was no discussion about a discount for it being a used car. I was told they would replace the damaged seat - Never heard from them about that again.
As an update - they responded to this review stating that I chose not to go ahead with the repair they suggested - not true - they stopped corresponding with me, and at this point I don't see why I have to drive 45 minutes one way for them to fix the issue.
Summary of my new car experience:
*You'd expect a full tank of gas - nope, not even 1/2 full.
*Soda spilled around driver door drink holder.
*Storage console full of what looked like breadcrumbs
*As described, damage done by a child transported in the" new" car - see photos.
Nope, I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS DEALERSHIP
