Agreed to a deal over email and then didn't honor it! I have been communicating with the Jack Daniels Kia dealership through email for the past few days. Through email, we agreed upon a price (21,990) and I have been communicating with the Jack Daniels Kia dealership through email for the past few days. Through email, we agreed upon a price (21,990) and an interest rate for financing (0%). I had given the sales associate my credit score and the amount I was going to put as a down payment and I was told that this would be enough to confirm these terms. The sales associate I communicated with confirmed these terms with me multiple times over email and then over the phone. I even called the sales associate this morning before I went there to make sure there were no hidden fees besides normal title, documentation, sales tax and registration fees. I was assured there were no hidden fees and that the deal we had agreed upon was still valid. When I went in to the dealership today, I was met by a salesman named Will. After showing me the car I was meant to buy, he informed me that he forgot there was an extra $400 fee because the car was the color black. I was disappointed, but I told him that it was fine as long as the rest of the deal stayed the same. After this, I was kept waiting as he talked to his manager and "got the contract ready". I signed forms to approve credit checks and so forth. After more than 2 hours of waiting, he asked me for my insurance card and called my insurance provider. He asked me to talk to them to transfer my insurance policy over to the new car. Thinking that this meant the deal was almost done, I happily agreed and talked to my insurance agent to change my insurance policy to add the new car. After this was over, he gave me a new contract to sign and tried to rush me to sign it but after I read it carefully, I found there were two new fees on there (one for window etching and another fee that I can't recollect at this time) and after asking him about these, he rudely said that I could just cross these out if I didn't want to pay them. After I crossed them out and signed it, he took the contract and disappeared for another 15 minutes. When he came back, he gave me the car keys and sent me to the finance office. There, I was told that my credit score, which was exactly the same score I had told them over email, mandated that I pay 5.9% interest. I was very upset and I told them that this was not the deal we had agreed upon. He asked me to stay so he could talk to his manager. After disappearing again for 15 minutes, the finance associate returned and said that I only had to pay 1.9% interest. I again reiterated that this was not the deal we had agreed upon through email and that I was going to leave. He asked me again to stay so he could talk to his manager. I waited for another 10 minutes only for him to come back and try to sell me on leasing the car instead of buying it. I gave him back the keys and left. I waited over 3 hours at the Jack Daniels Kia Dealership over a deal that was already agreed upon through email and not honored. The salesman Will was rude and kept me waiting for a very long time, I'm guessing, to break my stamina so I would agree to whatever deal was in front of me. I now have to call my insurance company to put my insurance back to how it was because of this. This is not the way to treat potential customers and I'm filing this complaint because I hope that this kind of treatment gets addressed. Thank you for taking the time to read this. More
