My Review of Barry:
This dealership is starting to get a reputation for taking your car, letting you do an "extended test drive" to put pressure to buy.
They took advantage of my elderly parents this way telling them to drive the car for a couple days and then trying to force them into purchasing it by making them feel the deal was already done. Then they played games with the numbers on paper. Giving them almost 10,000 dollars for a trade worth 2,000 and then putting money into extended warranties, service fees, etc.
If you do (for whatever reason) buy from them, either pay cash or have the check in hand, unless you are up for a few rounds of the nut in the shell game. I am a systems programmer, and I was confused after about two minutes, and I have purchased five other new cars before and I have never witnessed accounting like this. WATCH WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING.
The financing was done by me, and with my 850-something credit rating, at the last minute they wanted me to sign up for a 12.99% finance rate complete with a $3,000 add-on 3/36000 powertrain only warranty that basically mirrored the full 3/36000 bumper to bumper warranty the car already came with.
They also like to let you sit around a lot during the sales transaction to wait for: (insert one) them waiting on another customer / while they ask their manager how much they can sell the car for / make copies of all your personal information so they can hound you for the next several weeks about buying the car etc.
Then the nearly bald tires the car came with that they promised to replace were not replaced (they were willing to pass inspection on it, but nobody else was) so it was a hassle getting them to replace the tires, then other things they were supposed to do after the sale they didn't do.. Just an overall hassle.
This place has quite a reputation with the locals which I assume is why they advertise so much off the island.
I wouldn't buy from them again.
