I was shopping around for the most affordable car since I have a long commute. I went in there with a budget and told them that. The original sales guy seemed nice. But they claimed they couldn’t meet my budget. Which was $400 for financing a car with some lease payments left over and zero down. Since they couldn’t make it I was going to leave. James Barrett the general manager comes over and it went quickly from a pleasant enough experience to frustrating. We talked in circles with me at some point asking him if he was trying to confuse me. During that conversation he said if you figure out what you want and give me a number (which I had done) I can go to the banks, I am bringing up that comment to point out that at this point there had not been a hard hit. I got so frustrated that I pointed out I was looking to feel good about my purchase like I had previously with my Hondas. He asked me why didn’t I go to Honda then? I had not gone to Honda because I thought it would be too expensive, but then thanks to his comment I thought about it and decided I should check it out. I went to Honda where I bought a car worth $3,000 more than the car they were offering me for the amount that I wanted monthly. But during my time there I learned that they had run a hard hit on my credit. At no point had I seen someone in fiancé or had agreed to purchase a car or indicated I was doing anything but shopping around. I had been to three other dealerships for this purchase and they hadn’t run my credit. After James Barrett’s behavior and finding this out I feel that this place is shady. Buyer especially female ones be wary.
