I called in and checked their website for a USED Chevy Spark that said it was on sale 3 May 22. I spoke to the salesman, he said the vehicle was there and to hurry because they are going fast. Typical Sal More

Hello Mr. Saint, Thank you so much for reaching out to us about your issue. I am sorry to learn of the situation with the vehicle being sold before your arrival. To Alex's knowledge, the vehicle showed it was still available in our inventory. In these times, we are indeed only as good as our computers. I understand that Alex showed you another vehicle that had met one or two of your qualifying needs. It had lower miles, in or around the same price point, and would have been a superb run-around vehicle. Mr. Saint, I can tell you what I know, and this is a fact. Alex is not one to waste your or anyone else's time. Sincerely, Michelle Blunt michelle.blunt@corp.calavancars.com CALAVAN KIA/CALAVAN CDJR Customer Service Specialist

Response to dealer: Dealership misleads and lacks transparency in it's pricing. I have written text messages from the salesperson with one price, only for them to change the price at the closing table to $8K more for a "market adjustment". AVOID THIS DEALER. Update to response: The attachment present here speaks for itself. Even after confirming the price with your sales associate and then driving an hour to potentially purchase the vehicle, only then did you switch the price. While times are changing, your customers need to be mindful of the potential of abuse by dealers such as yourself. You may be right, maybe this it isn't "bait and switch" but it's certainly unethical and misleading to your customers. Shame on your establishment. $8k markup on a $48k vehicle is absolutely the largest price adjustment of all the dealers I've called.
