My Review of Lee Johnson Chevrolet:
The biggest reason I want to give these assholes a bad rating is because I am a minor and they suggested I start drinking because I was worried about finances about the car my boyfriend and I were thinking about purchasing.
We came because we had an appointment to test drive only. When we told them that they brought us to their office and had us sign some figures for credit. When they found out my boyfriend had great credit they started turning into vultures, pressuring us to buy it, almost tricking him into signing a PIECE of PAPER with something THEY WROTE (not an official document) saying he will buy the car.
We were worried about finances after buying the car, if we did. They told us that we would still have plenty of money left over. What the hell would they know? When we were out on the lot, they kept talking to me like I was going to be driving and buying. I do not drive. They kept leering and gawking at me and gave my boyfriend, the purchaser, no eye contact or direct confirmations. They did not tell us the safety rating when I asked them. Lets see what else. When my boyfriend was on the phone with his mother to tell him the news Leo, one of the dealers, told me, "He needs to get rid of his own car, what is there to think about? Why is he not buying it right now? What is there to decide?" When we told them his car is 11 years old and only has 76K miles that put them in their place a bit.
They kept us there for an extra two hours trying to figure insurance rates. When we expressed that we wanted to wait a while to decide they shifted some numbers around and thought that 10 dollars less a month was going to save us a lot. Yeah, thats going to buy us the extra food and gas we need. Bullshit. My bf and I did a budget to see how much we would have left over every month. One of the other guys came in, turned the paper over, and started writing some figures. He ASSUMED that we spent 4000 a year repairing his car (note: we have never had to go in for a repair yet, ever) but it went in one ear and out the other for him. He still wrote down 4000 that we spent on it every year, and pulled some other numbers out of his ass and claimed we would be SAVING money buying this new car. Hi, I want to go to graduate college, I dont think paying almost 600 a month extra is going to get me there OR save us money.
When we tried to get up to leave they kept going "WAIT WAIT, we will be right back," then bring someone ELSE in with them.
Another thing that pissed us off? We had to deal with six or seven different salesmen, they kept tag-teaming us. We had two of them on us once playing "good cop bad cop" trying to fool us into buying that car. It is a nice car but you could buy the same car, cheaper, with more options on the Chevy website.
They tried to get us to go into the car, "no strings attached"...leave our original car that they hate on the lot? I dare to think what they'd do to our car. They were pure evil.
When we finally did walk out, with no title to the car, as soon as we told them we were going to leave, they were just like "K, BYE." VERY rude and disrespectful. If they want us to buy their goddamn car they should at least try being nice and acting like they WANT our business.
Beware of this place. The dealers here are complete assholes, have no respect for the people that come in. The only thing they are looking forward to is jacking off all over their precious, precious commissions. And did I mention that they suggested I, a minor, start habitually drinking? He said it with full seriousness. This is BAD BUSINESS. We are probably going to look at the same car at a different dealership, and if we order online we are avoiding this place entirely. I would too, if I were you. I know that car salesmen are always kind of assholes, but these guys are A+ Assholes with a capital A.
