Poor business practices… I would avoid Stamford Hyundai. Even a shady used car dealer puts in more effort. The story: I initially reached out to Stamford Hyundai, because they had the exact used Infin Even a shady used car dealer puts in more effort. The story: I initially reached out to Stamford Hyundai, because they had the exact used Infiniti I was looking for. I spoke with a sales person Evan numerous times over a 4 day period. I explained that I lived pretty far (1.5 hours away), and I needed as much info as possible on the car. Evan told me the car was in great shape, and had no excessive wear. The day prior to making the trip; he put me in touch with Kevin (sales manager) to negotiate a warranty in the price of the car. Kevin upsold the car, and explained how “aggressively priced” the vehicle was (being a one owner with a clean history). Basically a typical sales manager routine, and said that was the best he could do. I left the conversation by telling Kevin that I would take the trip the following day to look at the car, and potentially purchase on the spot. Fast forward to the following day… I drove out to CT (took me over 2 hours with traffic). A sales person pulls the car around for me to look at. I was beyond SHOCKED when I looked at the car. - The car looked like it was used for off-roading. There was dirt/mud on the inside and outside (interior being the most dirty). - The front bumper clips were out of place - The engine valves had a tapping sound (definitely more the others that I had already looked at prior). - There was a noticeable gash on the lower portion of the rear bumper The car wasn’t detailed or clean at all. ZERO effort!! It was so nasty, I wouldn’t even get in the car (wish I had taken pictures). I couldn’t believe that a professional car dealership didn’t bother to detail the car prior to listing. THEY EVEN HAVE A CARWASH DIRECTLY NEXT DOOR! To make matters even worse, the salesperson lied about how long they had the car. He said that the car was “just brought in a week prior, and they didn’t have a chance to clean after the shop finished with it”. Meanwhile, a previous sales person said they had that car for over three weeks. I spent 5 minutes (at most) looking at the car, hopped in my truck, and left. I was so frustrated that I didn’t even ask to speak with Kevin So to put into perspective.. - I drove slightly over 3.5 hours round trip, and spent 5 minutes looking at the vehicle. - The condition of the car was misrepresented. I want reimbursement for my gas, tolls, and time. I’m filing a better business bureau complaint. I even called Kevin on my way home, and he didn’t bother to call me back. More
