Bad ethics. I found a car I liked on cars.com at Portsmouth Used Car Super Store, so I contacted them through the website, and shortly after I got an email from J I found a car I liked on cars.com at Portsmouth Used Car Super Store, so I contacted them through the website, and shortly after I got an email from Josh. I set up an appointment with Josh to go see the car, and all was good. I get an email about an hour later saying that the car is not at their store yet, it was bought at an auction in NY, and it won’t be in for about a week, but he let me know that they have other cars I should still come check out. I didn’t respond right away, because I wanted to think the situation over. So a couple of hours later I get a call from Josh, saying that he has had a lot of calls on the car I originally contacted them about, and since the car wasn’t there yet, they would be willing to take a $500.00 refundable deposit on the car to make sure I would be the first one to look at the car when it arrived at their location. I agreed to do this, and shortly after I gave Josh all of the information he needed, I got a call from the sales person Joel, he wanted to make sure he had my right email, and wanted to me to send him over information on my car that I was going to trade in, and then he would send over a purchase and sales agreement for the car, which was subject to my trade once they go to actually see it. So after getting all of the paper work signed and sent back to him, I was told the car would be at their location in 10 days. So little after a week went by I checked in with Joel to see if they had an exact date of when the car would be in so I could make plans, because I live about an hour and a half away from there. He said he wasn’t sure yet when the car was going to be in, but assured me that we were the only ones that were going to be seeing the car as soon as it came in, and if my trade was in order we would be leaving with the new car when it was ready. So a couple of days later on Monday the 22nd I got a call from Joel saying that car would be in on Tuesday, and it had to go through their service department, and he wanted to make an appoint for me to come in on Saturday the 27th at 9:00am, so I agreed to this. My wife and I drove up to Portsmouth a day early, just to enjoy the city, and stay overnight since we love it there anyway, so the next day we show up to the dealership at 8:40 in the morning, and as we walk in the door Dave Bettinger came over to greet us. I told him that I had an appointment with Joel to have my car checked out, and purchase a car that he was holding for me. At that point Dave told us that Joel has left the dealership, because of personal reasons, but would be happy to help us. So we go over to his desk, and tell the car we had put money down, and showed him the signed agreement, and told us that the car had been sold. He told us that his general manager told Joel to call us, and tell us that we had to come in that day or they were going to sell the car on us, but Joel never called us to tell us this. So Dave told us to hold on for a second, and he grabbed his finance manager to come over and talk to us, the finance manager told us that he saw the agreement that we signed, and didn’t know why they sold the car on us, but they would take care of us. So he sends Dave back over, and Dave also tells us that he will take care of us, and also that they would take care of us on our trade too. So we went outside to look at other cars they had, and narrowed it down to two cars we liked both the same year, and model, just different colors. Dave told us he would talk to his manager Caleb Wilson, and see what they can do for us. After about 20 minutes Dave comes back out to us, and tells us that their prices are non-negotiable, and there wouldn’t be anything they could do for us on the cars. We then asked him why he told us he would take care of us, and keep us there for over an hour if this was true, and why did his finance manager also tell us they would take care of us. He said that his finance manager was new, and didn’t know what he was talking about, and that he didn’t tell us he would take care of us, but he thought the right thing would do would be for them to help us out, and that he wanted us to talk to Caleb directly to see if he would help us. So we go back to Dave’s desk, and wait for Caleb to come over to talk to us. He tells us that he sees there was a disconnect somewhere, and for us to find another car and he will see what he can do. We told him that we found two cars, and Dave just got through telling us that he talked to you (Caleb) and that you couldn’t do anything for us. So Caleb looked at the cars again, and said there wasn’t anything he could do for us, and it was Josh’s fault, because he wasn’t supposed to take money over the phone, and he has been fired for doing this with other people, and it was also Joel’s fault as well, because he should have known that they aren’t supposed to do this. So an hour and a half later we got my keys for my car, and left without a sorry. More

Great no pressure sales experience Went with my wife and 3 children looking for a used car. They had a few different cars that we were interested in. They gave us the keys and told us t Went with my wife and 3 children looking for a used car. They had a few different cars that we were interested in. They gave us the keys and told us to bar a good ride. We were able to narrow down the vehicle we wanted to a Ford Expedition EL. They had one but it wasn't the interior color we wanted. Instead of trying to pressure me to buy something I didn't want they took my name and told me if they find something they would call me. They had a great selection of cars at very competitive prices More

After looking at a few models which weren't exactly what I was looking for. The dealer took my expectations for the vehicle I wanted and found one which exceeded my expectations and was right in my price range. Pleasure doing business with them and would recommend them to anyone. Great selection of cars on the lot and my family has purchased 3 other vehicles from there with the same experience. More

Drove over an hour and a half to deal with a specific person and was directed to another . Upon arrival excited to find the car I wanted, discovered the Honda was leaking power steering fluid. The car wa person and was directed to another . Upon arrival excited to find the car I wanted, discovered the Honda was leaking power steering fluid. The car was $269.00 over market value and was not taken into consideration on the final price. The manager was rude, bottom line. With my excellent credit rating, I was told my payments would be at a certain rate and I agreed to that, when it came time to sign, the manager informed me that it would be higher, I spoke to him about this and he shrugged me off. I walked out very disappointed and not looking forward to my long drive home with no car, the one I was totally willing to purchase. The deal was pretty much broken over a meer 300.00 difference. Did I say the manager was rude? I have no problem buying elsewhere, watch out for the sneaky switch. Expected a call back the next day from the salesman (who was nice to deal with) but he would probably be fired for talking to me again. In this economy, prices are and should be a. Little flexible and reading other reviews, I am not the only one who was put in this situation. If ey called me back with even a slight appology, I would consider buying but in this day business , business ethics are not up to par in the car world. It is compromise and humility that matter. More
