We are saddened that this experience was portrayed in this manner. The Scanlon’s have taken their name in the community seriously for the last 30 years. We have attempted to reach out to you to go over the events because we feel this is not a fair representation of the attempted transaction. For perspective, the first visit we were not allowed to appraise your trade (which would have been an efficient use of your time), and were forced to use the numbers you gave to us to construct a deal. Obviously, a deal can’t be made without an appraisal, and an accurate payoff. We advised you that an entry level MDX was not in inventory, and that all we had were higher and more expensive trim levels. But, if we could come together on figures after an appraisal, we would be happy to locate the appropriate vehicle that suited the budget and transportation needs. This is after all what we do for our clients: consult, and provide a vehicle solution that meets their needs. When you purchase a luxury car with advanced technology, you should expect personalized service at delivery. Our sales people personally deliver the vehicles to the clients to make sure their experience here is smooth and focused on the clients specific needs learned during the sales process. While Bob not being able to get back to you during a delivery is not a good thing, he still would not have been able to verify the deal based on the inability to look at your trade (mentioned above). We are pleased that another associate stepped in to assist to ensure your time here was well spent. When the real payoff and trade value was determined, the numbers given to us were $3000 off, causing a large variance in payment. It is our understanding other dealers quoting the numbers had not appraised the trade, or pulled the payoff.

It is sad that this dealership and more importantly Joe Ferigno continue to lie and wont just admit that what we were told was not accurate. Unfortunately I was given 48 hours to respond to a call from Joe telling me he wanted to "clear the air so I didnt have a bad taste in my mouth" but there was not notion of making good on the deal or trying to at all. Thank God we had already purchased our vehicle. Interesting gaps in your response though- Why would Bob have not told us when we called that there was no vehicle?Why would we have driven down if we knew all along there was NO vehicle? Regardless of the trade in he said he could do the deal on a car that DID NOT EXIST. When we questioned him he clearly stated he thought he might be able to get it-which explains his desire to shuffle us off that day--it is hard to be caught when you dont tell the truth. If the deal could still have been done without the trade you would think that option would be offered, but I was specifically told again that the deal would not be done anywhere and to go where they told us it could. In the end you have lived up to the pre concieved perception most people have of car dealers and that is that you are dishonest, and unethical. I just hope some people will read this and see that clearly there is much detail in my story that would be hard to fabricate and a very generic, vague response from Scanlon Acura. Save yourself the drama and call Luis in Pembroke Pines.

We make every effort to assist our customers in making a vehicle purchase decision. From our review of what transpired on your visit on Saturday, July 5th compared to what you have posted here, we feel again compelled to respond. From the beginning and throughout, we made it clear to you that we did not have the vehicle in stock but would locate and bring in your vehicle of choice should we agree on terms. You had proposed to us figures with a trade-in (prior to your Saturday visit) that you stated had equity and on that basis we clearly indicated that you would have to bring in your trade so it could be evaluated but with the understanding that if the trade was worth what you stated we believed we could meet your terms. Further, you were not offered the deal you proposed without a trade because our ability to make the deal you proposed was totally contingent on the equity on your trade that you insisted was there. (so when we finally got the chance to appraise your trade and then called for the payoff, we determined there was no equity and you were told that on Saturday). As for the suggestion that you were shuffled between salesman, your salesman explained when you called at 10am that he was tied up with a delivery and would call you when he was done. The same when you called back at 11am. We appreciate that you decided to come in anyway and we introduced you to another member of our sales staff since your salesman was still completing a delivery. You can be assured that we want to sell and deliver every customer that wants to purchase a vehicle and had your trade been worth what you stated we believe a deal could have been made. As for your suggesting that you had an Acura dealer on the East Coast of Florida that would do the deal that you proposed to us, our research appears to show that you traded your 2011 Pathfinder to a Nissan dealer on this coast. We called Luis at Pembroke Pines....
