These people are straight up liars. No other way of putting it. There is no miscommunication, misunderstanding, little white lies. These people will tell you whatever they have to tell you in order to get you in the door. That is Prestige's only job. To get clients through the door. Why haven't they been stopped? Well who is going to stop them? The Kia dealership that is getting all of this business? Yeah ok. I read the warning signs and against my better judgement, went anyway after I got it in writing that I was meeting the loan officer and that I wouldn't have to fill out another application. Of couse there was no loan officer. It was a dealership a sad little 10 car dealership. And the sales person I got was actually nice considering my attitude and told me honestly, "hey it works".
AC Auto...Non existant
AC Auto is AIC Kia of Manassas. They are not under new management. They did not just acquire the dealership. Get the phone number of the dealership and call and ask. By the time they read this they will change the name from AC Auto to AI Auto probably though.
They do not have more than 10-15 cars on their lot. So not only did you get conned to go to a kia dealership but a low budget kia dealership at that. What kind of nationwide dealership only has 15 cars???
They can not access cars from other lots. The sales guy admitted that they use to be able to do it but the other dealers started charging them too much so now they have access to one other small dealership.
Your interest rate for a second chance loan will be in the lower 20%. Not 4-9%.
They have even tried to get slick by changing the address to the other side of the building. Kia's address was 9100 Centreville Road, AC Auto's address is 9100 Carriage Lane.
Silverling, at the end of the lies and deceitfulness, it is a (small) dealership nevertheless. So if you like one of the 15 cars you see, you can buy it. Sure its over priced and your APR is going to be sky rocketed but you can walk away with a car.
BTW its going to kill you to drive past the other 8 real dealerships on your way there that actually have plenty of cars. If you do decide to go, Manassas actually has a lot of good cars for good prices so go early so that you can go to a real dealership.
