recently started considering the brand again. A few months ago I emailed the dealership inquiring about a couple of options that I had some questions about. The salesman (M Dugan) emailed back and came across in the emails as I was wasting his time. I passed it off as he was having a bad day.
Recently, I identified a couple of vehicles at two different locations that I wanted to see in person. One of the vehicles was already sold, as it was a pre-order, while the other had most of the options I wanted, but not all.
The Salesman (S Hughes, II) worked up a quote, which had a discount which barely and I mean barely exceeded the Dealer's over-priced addons and the interest rate offer was 1% above BMW USA advertised rate. I was even told that the rate being promoted by BMW USA was the rate offered to dealers.
Anyway, I decided to think the offer over and make a decision the next morning. The next morning, I emailed the salesman that I was declining the offer and noted my reasons why. I know the rep. read the email, because I received a read receipt", but never received as much as a thank you for the letting him know.
So, I guess that the old Hendrick Philosophy of maintaining a good customer relationship ended a long time ago and now it's all about the sale and kiss off if you don't buy from them!
