Hello! Can you please send us an email with your full name and best contact information? We'd like to send this to management. Thank you!

#1 Cochran Buick GMC Monroeville responded

We apologize for any confusion this has caused. We are also sensitive that a car purchase can have many moving parts and after the fact both parties can be unsure about some of the details. Our policy requires the Carfax be disclosed both in the online advertising and in a physical copy presented at the time of sale on each vehicle we sell. The records indicate that is true in this case as well. Trade in values very dealership to dealership, in this case you have chosen to trade the vehicle elsewhere for less value than our team offered. This paired with your traded vehicle is currently listed online for less than the Carfax recommended sales price prevents us from agreeing that there is a loss of value. Again if you have any further questions or concerns, you can email us at feedback@cochran.com Thank you!

Worth the drive from Washington county to Monroeville. Steve was great, we had him running all over the place. The busy lot attendants even took a moment to help us out with questions. More
