Beware of price gouging during a pandemic on HD trucks. We’ve been looking for a dually and due to the chip shortage you had to act fast.

We missed a GMC Denali 3500 HD that we wanted because we paused for a day and it sold. Both Courtesy GMC and Oxmoor FORD warned us to watch other dealers taking advantage of chip shortage by raising MSRP. Courtesy did not which we beat ourselves up for not immediately purchasing theirs. Unfortunately Don Franklin is one of those dealers that has decided to take advantage. Don Franklin claims to be a Christian but he clearly skips over the part in the Bible regarding greed. We are fine paying MSRP for a demanding vehicle but to add on an extra $2,000 is wrong. Thank you to the owners of Courtesy GMC and Oxmoor Ford for not being like Don Franklin. We did deal with some very nice people there. To name a few...April, Whitney, Brandy and Shawn were all very nice professional staff. The manager David Brown tried to convince us it was a GM thing regarding raising the price increase over value which if that was the case other GM dealers would be doing it and they are not so it clearly is a Don Franklin decision. Other than that everyone else seemed like good people. Loved the finance guy we dealt with (didn’t get his name) In summary my recommendation would be to find your vehicle at another dealership if possible. If it’s not available and they have what you want, life’s too short to let a greedy man get in your way. Get what you want and enjoy! In the end they got a check from me for over $85,000 but it was worth my husband getting exactly what he wanted. I’m sure Don Franklin is laughing all the way to the bank and I’m okay with that because he has to live with himself taking advantage of people during a pandemic not me. More
