We went to the dealership to look at a few cars until we found the perfect car we wanted to buy, numbers were written up for THE CAR we wanted and was told we were going to recieve, we left while waiting fo found the perfect car we wanted to buy, numbers were written up for THE CAR we wanted and was told we were going to recieve, we left while waiting for a approval and soon after got a phone call saing we were approved for the loan with 1000 down we were excited to go get the car we had agreed on and to go pick it up! upon arriving at the dealership we were told THEY changed the car WE PICKED OUT to another compartive car that had alot less features and one that we hadn't even seen or agreed upon. which was a huge shock and dissappointment, what was a even bigger shock was the manager coming at us yelling and throwing a tamtrum in the middle of the store embarrassing us and himself! telling us it is the same car which it most defintely not! not the same features different colors and stripped all down. the manager couldn't see the difference between a nice greenish, all the bells and whistles car to a plain stripped down black one? then repeatly said well buy this one I don't care what one you buy this one will just cost you 100 dollars a more a month, buy what ever one you want but this one will be more, we don't care was repeated over at least 5 times, we I think he should care, not throwing his hands up in the air and repeating buy this one or that one I don't care..like dealing with a 2 year old. very dissapointed! will let anyone who asks about where we bought it to not go there unless they like agreeing on a car and management switching it and then yelling at you about it in front of a crowd!We should have been told on the phone that we were approved for a different car than the one AGREED on! our saleman phil was nice and you could see he felt bad and was probably embrassed as well of the manager!

My experience with Paramount and your salesman Mr. Joel Kaufman was very positive. He answered every question I had about the Volkswagen Passat I purchased and other cars on the lot. I truly felt like mo Kaufman was very positive. He answered every question I had about the Volkswagen Passat I purchased and other cars on the lot. I truly felt like more than just a quota trying to get met like I have before at other dealerships. Mr. Kaufman represents Paramount very well and I will definitely refer him as well as Paramount of Hickory to anyone I can. I can honestly say as a 42 year old man that this was my best car buying experience ever. More
