Christian, I'm disappointed to hear about your unpleasant buying experience. We aim for a much higher standard of service than what you've described. It's concerning to see that we missed the mark in several areas, including communication and the pressure you felt during the financing process. If you're open to discussing this further, I'd appreciate the chance to learn more and see how we can improve. Please reach out at your convenience. Thank you, Meaghan Hill - General Sales Manager - 816-474-2900
