Beware - Shady business tactics
I made a best offer on a Turbo S on eBay which they acceptedI was speaking to a salesman who gave me numbers for my trade inEverything was acceptable so I sent in my credit applicationAfter not hearing back for 4-days I called to ask what the problem wasTurns out the sales person ( Andrej ) had gone on vacation and not told anyone about our in-progress deal
The next day the finance manager calls with numbers from the bank which had high monthly payments ( low rates )I asked what values they put on the carsThey had put +$on the Porsche value, and took away -$on my McLaren trade inI told him these were very incorrect and he had another sales person call me
He explained the sales person who gave me the numbers was not authorized to do so, and that the Porsche was on consignment and they hadn't even called the owner yetThey said the lowest they could go is $85k on the Porsche and no higher on the trade in value already discussed$off from what I was offered originally, BEFORE my credit was run ( and dinged for the new inquiry )
It's VERY unprofessional to renege on a deal which your employee had already madeEspecially after you already had run the finance application and got the numbers from the bank
These kinds of antics are unacceptable when dealing with cars at this caliber

Body repair on a Nissan Sentra
On Dec 31, a car hit the drivers rear door and fenderA couple days later I got an estimate from Dimmit body shop and arranged for them to repair the carThe car was dropped of and I picked up a loanerThe car was promised to me at the end of the week but this did not happenAfter calling a couple of times, the car still was not ready for more weeksI received a call from my advisor David and he said the car was completedI asked him how it looked and he said it looked like new, I told him that was great and asked if he could send somebody my way with it and he didUpon receiving the car, I looked it over and immediately saw several large paint runs on the bottom underneath the door panelI also noticed the door looked odd as well as the way it was painted, the doors finish was applied way to heavy and produced a ripple effectThe young man that delivered the car agreed the repair was not done correctly and took it back to the deale
advertising of lease deal
The company is offering a Cadillac ATS for down and 199/mo lease on their website Initially when I called them they said it was now downI went to the Pinellas Park location and was told they didn't have any there but the Clearwater location did I drove to the Clearwater location and was told they didn't have any either They then tried to upsell me to a more expensive model with a 299/mo payment and down This was a clear bait and switch They then said they were taking it down from their website, but it's still showing I read reviews from Yelp and google and this is clearly a pattern
Drove miles to look at car after verifying twice it was Available and will be out frontWhen arrived they said it was soldTried selling diff car
Deceitful and borderline illegal
Drove over miles to look at a vehicle after verifying twice it was availableIt was supposed to be pulled up out front, however when we got there we were told by a different salesman that it was already sold! Then they had the nerve to try and push something else on usObviously they straight out lied to just get us on the lotComplete waste of our Saturday and $in gas
