Found a good vehicle at a good price online but on going to the dealership the sticker price was not as advertised. Had to haggle quite a bit, financing was difficult and after sales service has been poor, More

Mr. DSouza, we were more than happy to negotiate to a price that we could both agree on. As far as the contact goes, we always strive to return messages as soon as possible. I only see four inbound calls from your number, all from the day you purchased your vehicle. I see a couple of text messages that went unanswered, and for that you have my sincerest apology. If there was anything else that contributed to the low score I can be reached below. Thank you for your business. Andrea McGiffin Customer Relations Manager 775-682-3368 andreamcgiffin@lithia.com

The issue I had about price was the reason I’d come into the store was the online advertised price, but the sticker price once I came in was almost 5500$ more. I can understand there being differences in online pricing and in store pricing but I was told that the online price was the weekend special price and was not available on the day after that is Monday I came in. Even though the website still showed the lower price, and it was a whole ordeal to have the dealership actually honor the online advertised price. The financing guys had me sign on for the extended warranty and gap insurance, which I decided on review that I did not want and came by to have it cancelled when I was tried to be gaslit that it was cheaper for me to have both of them on there even though my monthly payment was 100$ more. Now later I found out that apparently the high desert package which is supposed to be standard with all your vehicles was cancelled when I canceled the other packages, even though it was part of the price negotiation, and had not signed any paperwork for it at all, which basically means that it was not given to me with the original purchase of the vehicle in the first place. When I attempted to have it chalked down to a miscommunication and have it added on to the vehicle as originally promised, I was told that I would have to pay the full price for the package if I wanted it. Again no paperwork was signed about the package before I cancelled the extended warranty and gap insurance so I was not given the package at all. I tried contacting someone named Rachel and left a voicemail regarding a registration issue that I had and left a voicemail after attempting to call and speak to her multiple times, but did not receive a call back at all. So there were multiple issues with my purchase, which was very disappointing since the car itself I am very happy with.
