I want to make this as concise as possible; I would not - mjnow68
I want to make this as concise as possible; I would not buy a car at this dealership. You will not get the best deal, and they are deceptive. While the staff try their best it is painfully obvious that Gerald Jones Ford is all about the money and the finance person, Kirt Dolittle and the sales manager Martelli that calls himself a man of GOD when you call him out on his of deceptive practices. I agreed to Co-sign for my granddaughter. Two days later I find out that I am not the Co-buyer but the primary on the loan. Why would they not be upfront about this, for one thing they did not want to lose that cut of the pie. See when a dealership gets you a loan, they make half or more percent of the total Interest Paid. If they had told me that I was going to be the primary I would have gone to my bank. I would have then got 5% loan and not a 6.5 or so loan. That is around $800.00, it does not sound like much but for a college student going to school full time and working part time it is a lot of money.
If I could do it all over, I probably would have gotten the Jetta at CarMax and not these lying cheating group of people. Martelli keeps saying it is the same thing, and yes, he is right, but it is the principle of not saying it. It seems management hides things to maximize profit. Gerald Jones is not the worst dealership out there by any means but with so many options I would look elsewhere.
I will contact the State Attorney General Office, and I will file deceptive practices claim. It is insane that dealerships think they can get away with this today.
