Watch Out! Deceptively Clever Sales Tactics Here. I can tell you with certainty and conviction that my suspicions regarding cleverly crafted car dealerships is founded. Baron's no exception. I'll star I can tell you with certainty and conviction that my suspicions regarding cleverly crafted car dealerships is founded. Baron's no exception. I'll start off with the positive and then go from there. The nice, loaded and in really nice shape car I had purchased, a pre-owned used 2015 BMW X5 (50i) from these people. I like the vehicle a lot. I had wanted to believe I was being treated fairly and with honesty, but I later discovered a very troubling issue regarding the remaining BMW maintenance 4 yrs. or 50,000 mi. program balance. I had thought I was also still getting with this BMW! That is, the truth and fact is it's NO longer transferable to a second owner. i.e. in this case myself. They knew this all along. I discussed having the remaining maintenance program with the salesman with whom I bought the car from. He NEVER mentioned any issues with regard to NOT being able to have it. It should have dawned on me when closing the deal with also the finance director Patrick Duffer, naturally he was trying to sell me the BMW 6 yrs. or 100,000 mi. maintenance program at $3,620.00! I wasn't going to spend this ludicrous amount of money when I thought I had the 4 yrs/50,000 mi. left. That should have made me heavily question this with their management. And, then I should have walked not buying the car. I didn't though. Post sale, I've called and called him. He maintains that I still do have the BMW maintenance program. This is so untrue as I had phoned BMW corporate and they checked my VIN, and had said that no that I do not as a matter of fact. Oh sure, everyone with their little niceties abound here towards you at this dealer. However, the attentiveness is ok. Nothing special that they go out of their way for you. I wouldn't ever buy here again. The vehicle, I like a lot. The deception and dishonesty, I don't. Darn, this is why I hate buying a car from a dealer! Bottom line is: If something seems amiss, it probably is. Step back, re-evaluate your situation and NEVER feel pressured to buy ANYTHING. More

Sales experience with James Sealy was fantastic I recently purchased a 535 xi from James and had a fantastic experience. It is the 3rd car my wife and I have have purchased from James and all 3 time I recently purchased a 535 xi from James and had a fantastic experience. It is the 3rd car my wife and I have have purchased from James and all 3 times have been a great experience. James is very knowledgable about the cars, packages, options, and accessories. He also takes the time to figure out what our needs are before he makes recommendations. We feel James is honest, shows great attention to detail, and cares about our business. We'd send anyone considering a BMW or other luxury car to James. More

Robber Baron This place is the worst. My wife was driving our 2009 528i home one afternoon with our boys when a warning light appeared on the instrument panel stat This place is the worst. My wife was driving our 2009 528i home one afternoon with our boys when a warning light appeared on the instrument panel stating to go to the nearest BMW service center before a major malfunction occurred. We are new to the area and "luckily" she happened to be passing Baron BMW in Merriam, KS. The techs happily took our vehicle to the back and performed the Baron BMW Courtesy Inspection The result, an Action Plan for over 10K that included replacing the transmission. Needless to say she thanked them for their time and politely asked for our car back and got the xxxx out of there as fast as she could. The next day I contacted a local independent BMW repair shop and brought our car in to have them take a look. As you might have guessed by now the Baron Action Plan was total B.S. the independent shop made the needed repairs for less then $500. This week I needed a headlight replaced. I called the independent shop and Baron to get estimates and they were comparable, so I decided to give Baron a 2nd chance. (Only because the independent shop does not have a loaner program and we needed access to two cars, and I was curious to see what the "Courtesy Inspection" would turn up this time.) Things did not start off well. I went in and the service consultant was not very courteous. Not sure is he was rushed, didn't care or both. Next, I was given a loaner that someone had clearly been smoking in. They attempted to mask the smell with some type fragrance and the combination of odors gave me the worst headache I've had in some time. It was so bad that I had to go back to Baron and request a new loaner. The "Courtesy Inspection" came later that day and this time the Action Plan was for $5,000 worth of repairs. Funny thing is that the transmission replacement recommendation was gone ($7,500). So within a 3-month period I picked up an additional $2,500 worth of "recommended service". To summarize, Baron recommended $15,000 worth of repairs within a 3-month time period to a 2009 528i with 72k miles on it. The definition of a Robber Baron is an unscrupulous plutocrat, especially an American capitalist who acquired a fortune in the late nineteenth century by ruthless means. Robber Baron indeed. More
