We bought a smaller Chevrolet from Midway that too...
We bought a smaller Chevrolet from Midway that took several days, and us leaving because we were too far apart. A lot of phone calls back and forth, negotiating a price. We eventually found a price that we both agreed upon. The nice thing was the conversations and meetings were always comfortable and not high pressure. We dealt with Cesar, and his manager, Troy. We enjoyed our interaction with both of them and they were always cordial and nice. Never any high pressure sales tactics. When we didn't agree, we discontinued our conversation and then we would contact each other if there was a change in terms.
The only reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is because 1 evening I got a call from a night manager who had nothing to do with any of my previous conversations. He wanted me to go into where I was with the other 2 to see if he might be able to do something for me. I don't like dealing with multiple people and having them pit me against different fronts. It is a common sales tactic to keep sending in different people on this bidding war.
So, here is the rest of the story. Troy, the manager came to us during the sale and said our car was available for the Costco $700 rebate. He said he took care of all the paperwork and we would receive a costco cash card. Over a month passed with nothing. I called Costco auto and was told they never received anything about us and to contact the dealer to see if they might have done something incorrectly. When I called Troy, he couldn't care less about me or anything to do with the Costco deal. He said he would call back and I never heard a word from him. Called Troy again several days later and again it was cold as ice with him. All he would say is he did everything he was supposed to do...end of conversation. So, 2 months later, after working with Costco, I get my card. No thanks to Troy, the manager, and Midway Chevrolet. After they got my money, I was nothing to them. And all during the sale several people in the dealership put a lot of energy to making sure I gave them high marks on the Chevrolet survey that would be delivered to me. It was super important to get those high marks. If I had that survey back, my opinion of the treatment I got would be a whole lot different.
