The car was a foot in the door (temporary)so I could get into a nicer vehicle, as we had agreed.(I had to do a modification on my home loan. As an active duty soldier in the US Army, I had to move from Washington State to Neptune, N.J. The economy shot any chance of selling my house, or renting it for the amount needed for mortgage, thus the modification fixed that issue.)With my credit not as good as it once was though,I was at the mercy of Sansone's Route 66 Kia, and I feel James in finance took full advantage of my situation. I purchased the Forte for $21,501 without extras like leather or moonroof. This was a starter car though, to prove myself and build a good relationship. Payments were made on time, and I SENT 2 NEW CUSTOMERS their way who purchased vehicles on my recommendation. Nearing 4000 miles on the engine, it was time to trade it in for a nicer car. I got the cold shoulder as I was told it had lost a considerable amount of value (two-thirds according to them). Now I understand once a vehicle is driven off the lot it loses some value, but this car was still new- no issues- with LESS THAN 4000 miles on it. It was a perfect car, with a trade-in value of no more than $14,000. I have yet to be contacted by Jessica, James, or anyone else at Sansone's Route 66 Kia after I left the last time, so I went somewhere else. I will not return and I will share this experience as well. Thanks to Pine Belt Chevrolet of Eatontown, N.J., I was able to get out of my under-driven, over-priced Kia and purchase a new Malibu 2011, which is a definate step up. As someone who has gone without most of my life, I find it hard to swallow how easily the finance team at Sansone's Route 66 Kia took advantage of my situation. They left me hanging out to dry. More
