Really poor dealership. The lady Victoria was nice...
Really poor dealership. The lady Victoria was nice and tried to be as helpful as she could, but whoever their manager or sales leader is, I didn't catch his name but he is rude, cocky, and overall does not seem to care about helping people find what they are looking for. I went in there, just to browse and see what they had the first time, Victoria came out and asked if she could help me which was fine. I told her I was looking for something like a station wagon. They didn't have any traditional style wagons on their lot but she showed me a few options she thought I might consider. Then whoever the dude is comes out and asks me why I was looking for a wagon. I told him because I really don't have a lot of stuff, I can actually fit it all in my 2003 Sonata sedan, but I would like a little more room to fit it in if I ever decide to move again. He honestly suggested that I purchase a sedan, and spend $150 to install a trailer hitch so that I could rent a U-haul instead of helping me find something similar to what I was looking for. So fast-forward a week to today and I get a call from Victoria, there's a 2013 Kia Soul she thought I might like. I went there, test drove it, few things I liked about it, few things I didn't as compared to a 2010 plus model I had driven a few days before. So we go and sit down to talk about it and negotiate a price. The Soul, listed at $13,500 (with a slash through it on their website) they wanted a total of $14,700 or so for it, and the most that they would wiggle with me as I told them I am not going to spend that much, was to the original $13,500, granted that is after taxes and fees, but they were also only able to lower that much by taking away their overpriced fee for "free" oil changes. I mind you, this is a 2013 Kia Soul base automatic wagon with the smaller 1.6L 4cyl engine, no more than the standard bells and whistles, 31,500 miles on it that had been in an accident that had no detailed report. So she brings Mr. Uhaul-know-it-all back to talk with me. He says they're firm on the price, and it is priced that way due to their $2,000/yr depreciation factor, which would put this 3 year old, base automatic soul at around $19,000 brand new. KBB prices this car, with no consideration of the accident at $11,873 from a dealership. I come home because I wasn't going to give my money to someone who is rude, disrespectful, and doesn't care to help anybody who he can't swindle into a brand-new Nissan. I look up what the price of a brand new base automatic Kia Soul was in 2013 and it says $14,800, a brand new 2016 Kia Soul base automatic is priced at $17,900. So much for your $2,000/yr depreciation value. Do yourself a favor, if you're looking for a car and would like to get an honestly decent deal, GET AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AS YOU CAN! If it wasn't for Victorias' politeness and honest effort to help this would be a 1 star review, so I would like to thank you for your kindness and help Victoria, as for you Mr. Uhaul, if you're wanting to make a sale, you probably shouldn't treat a potential buyer as if they are an idiot who knows nothing and does no research before considering a purchase. I hope you see repercussions from your awful customer service.
