I used to drive my 1974 Volkswagen Squareback wagon along the coast of California and Mexico surfing my heart out. Now I sell VW's in the freezing winters in Chicago and plan to surf lake Michigan soon.

Experience with sales person was great! A+. Management was professional but 100% pure bait and switch on pricing. On phone call, they said no markup beyond MSRP to get people in the door. O More

Hi lmaung, So sorry that your experience was less than stellar. We should have been very clear when you inquired that this was a specialty vehicle that you cannot get unless you order one and wait more than 6 months to receive. We should have also let you know this vehicle has a premium market adjustment. There was an internal issue where we removed pricing on our website with ID4s but mistakenly did not turn that same pricing off on our digital retail tool also found on our website which added to the confusion from our internet and phone sales team. We very much appreciate your feedback and will make sure there is no confusion about the vehicle pricing and details in the future and we have since corrected that issue from our digital retail feature. Thanks so much and I hope we will have an opportunity in the future to re- earn your business and show you what we are normally all about. This experience was sadly not a representation of that and again, please accept our sincerest apologies. Dewayne Gossett, Sales Manager .

This dealership has to have the worst sales department in the Chicagoland area. A few years back I came here to upgrade my vehicle and was given a ridiculously high quote on a vehicle and was told they don’t More
