The best contact that you can reach me is call to: 786-355-78869 or through my Email : soto7084@gmail.com. I hope someone responsible takes care of this, especially since we just received the documentation from the bank with the numbers that we finally did NOT agree on at the dealership. Thanks for your attention.
