Extremely Disappointing Experience My experience at this dealership was frustrating from beginning to end. I had a scheduled appointment to pick up a new Cadillac and was asked to complete all the nece this dealership was frustrating from beginning to end. I had a scheduled appointment to pick up a new Cadillac and was asked to complete all the necessary paperwork in advance. For several days leading up to my visit, I repeatedly requested final pricing details, only to be told each time that the manager would review everything in person. Despite having an appointment, I was left waiting for over four hours, continuously reassured that I was “next” and it would only be “30 more minutes.” After two hours, I asked for the keys to my trade-in vehicle and said I would come back another time. Instead, I was told that since it was the end of the month, they were eager to finalize everything and “get me out of here” in my new car. They insisted that all my paperwork had already been completed, and my insurance updated, yet it still took another two hours from that point just to see a manager. When I was finally seen, the pricing we had initially discussed was supposed to include everything except taxes, the document fee, and the first month’s payment. Instead, they attempted to add a $1,500 destination charge, a fee already included in the vehicle’s MSRP. When I questioned this, I was told I was mistaken and that this charge is added separately on a lease. However, even a quick online search confirmed this tactic, known as “double freight,” is a deceptive and well-documented way to inflate the vehicle’s cost. To make matters worse, they tried to present themselves as doing me a favor by waiving the “admin fee” and only charging a “bank fee,” which are often just different names for essentially the same charge. The entire process felt more like a game of misdirection than a legitimate transaction. What disappointed me most wasn't just the surprise fees, it was the lack of integrity and the complete disregard for my time. From the moment I walked into the moment I left, over nine hours were wasted due to avoidable delays and evasive practices. Bottom line: If you're considering this dealership, proceed with extreme caution. Scrutinize every detail, question every fee, and be prepared to spend your entire day there. Transparency isn't a bonus, it's a basic expectation that this dealership failed to meet. More
