SAW A CAR LISTED ON MULTIPLE WEBSITES FROM KG SUZUKI FOR $24, 990 AND SPOKE TO A SALESMAN FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP.. I WANTED THEM TO RUN MY CREDIT AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS IN ORDER BEFORE MAKING THE 2 HOUR DRIVE OUT TO LONG ISLAND CITY... THE SALESMAN TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS GREAT AND THAT HE RAN MY CREDIT AND GOT ALL MY PAPERWORK IN ORDER AND THAT THE CAR WAS READY, ALL I HAD TO DO WAS BRING THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS AND THE DOWNPAYENT ($5, 000).
SO I LEFT AT 10:30AM AND MADE IT THERE BY 12PM AND THE CAR WAS THERE, LOOKED GOOD.. NO VISIBLE PROBLEMS..SO I SAID OK LETS FINISH UP THIS PAPERWORK, SO THE SALESMAN SAYS"OH WE HAVE TO RUN THE CREDIT AND EVERYTHING FIRST" (MEANWHILE HE ALREADY TOLD ME HE RAN IT) ... SO WHATEVER I FILL EVERYTHING OUT ALL OVER AGAIN AND HE WRITES DOWN THE PRICE OF THE CAR FOR THE ADVERTISED $24, 990 AND THEN HE THROWS IN A $3, 700 ADDITIONAL FEE ON TOP OF THAT, CLAIMING THIS IS THE "160 POINT CERTIFICATION FEE" THAT EVERY CAR THAT COMES IN NEEDS $3, 700 WORTH OF PARTS AND LABOR AND CLEANING. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT A ORIGINAL CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CERTIFICATION.. THIS IS A 60 DAY KG SUZUKI CERTIFICATION WHICH IN REALITY IS THE LAW AND THEY HAVE TO GIVE A 60 DAY WARRANTY REGARDLESS... SO I SAID FORGET IT AND WENT TO LEAVE AND THEN HE SAYS "OH WAIT WAIT LET ME SEE IF I CAN GO ANY LOWER ON THIS...SO HE COMES BACK WITH A $2600 FEE... I SAID WHATEVER LETS SEE WHAT THE BANK SAYS AND THEN WELL TALK PAYMENTS AND INTEREST...SO KNOWING I WOULD ONLY BE APPROVED FOR $21, 000 I SAID YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND RUN THE CREDIT BUT I WONT BE APPROVED..SO NOW THE CAR I WANTED FOR $24, 990 IS NOW $28, 080.00 THEN HE WANTED A $500 DEPOSIT JUST TO RUN THE CREDIT! TELLING ME DONT WORRY HE'LL GET ME APPROVED AND TO HANG OUT FOR 15 MINUTES...SO 4 HOURS LATER HE COMES BACK WITHOUT AN APPROVAL AND MY DEPOSIT AND SAYS SORRY HAVE A NICE DAY. I ALSO SPOKE TO A FEW PEOPLE WHILE WAITING AND EVERYONE WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND SAID THEY BEEN BACK AND FORTH FOR 3 DAYS.
ITS A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF FALSE ADVERTISING AND THE OLD BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM JUST TO GET YOU IN THE DOOR...
-CAR WAS LISTED ON MANY WEBSITES FOR $24, 990 THRU KG SUZUKI BUT THEY ADD $3, 700 TO EVERY CARS PRICE CLAIMING IT FOR A CERTIFICATION FEE
-LIED ABOUT RUNNING MY CREDIT
-WASTED 4 HOURS
-BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM ADDED $3, 700 ONTO ADVERTISED PRICE
-DROVE 2 HOURS THERE AND 3 HOURS HOME IN TRAFFIC
-BASICALLY WASTED A WHOLE DAY AND PROBLY LOST 10 POINTS ON MY CREDIT SCORE
-DEALERSHIP WAS DIRTY AND PEOPLE WERE VERY UNPLEASANT TO DEAL WITH
-IN A ROUGH PART OF QUEENS
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND EVEN THINKING ABOUT GOING TO THIS DEALER.. ITS A SHIT HOLE AND THE PEOPLE SUCK AND THEIR $3, 700 CERTIFICATION FEE ISNT WORTH THE PAPER ITS PRINTED ON.
