Warning to all buyers - especially women. - Nola504
Warning to all buyers - especially women. I spent two days negotiating a 2026 Jeep Wrangler at Lakeshore CDJR Kenner and experienced some of the most dishonest dealer tactics I've ever encountered.
After negotiating a price and shaking hands on a deal, Finance Manager AJ DeLaneuville changed the price in the finance office, added a $3,999 'Environmental Package' and claimed it was legally required after COVID. This is completely false. No such law exists.
When I rejected it and walked out, he chased us to the parking lot trying to get us to split the difference.
The salesperson then called 15 minutes later confirming the original price was back on the table. The next day they texted paperwork showing the exact same fraudulent charges - $6,945 over our agreed price - as if the conversation never happened.

Go somewhere that respects your intelligence and your time.
