We're very sorry to hear about your recent experience and truly regret the frustration it caused you and your wife. This is not the standard we strive to uphold, and we understand how disappointing it must have been to arrive and find the vehicle in a condition that did not match your expectations. We’d appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out directly to Nick Seaton at nseaton@lairdnoller.com so we can better understand the situation and work toward a resolution. Thank you for your feedback — it helps us improve.

The salesman was nice, however I did not enjoy that it took us over 6 hours to make a deal with the typical back and forth delay tactic with one of the general managers. More

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear you felt pressured to finance and that the pricing was confusing—that’s definitely not how we want our customers to feel.
