My experience with Zeigler is probably the worst experience I have ever had in my life with a vehicle dealership. I originally entered the dealership to buy out my vehicle lease so I could more ea experience I have ever had in my life with a vehicle dealership. I originally entered the dealership to buy out my vehicle lease so I could more easily trade it on a newer vehicle purchase. (FYI the buy out amount was about $28000). Zeigler did not have a vehicle model on their lot I was looking for, but said they could do the buy out paperwork. They also said they could assist in searching for the vehicle model I was looking for. Upon doing the buy out I was assured this would be the best route so I could trade in the vehicle. Upon doing so, I was never told what the terms of the contract were and not able to closely examine the contract, nor was I given a copy. I was told it would be emailed. My greatest mistake was to trust their integrity. I have bought two other vehicle from this dealership in the past with very positive results, the least thing from my mind was to not trust them. A day later (Tuesday) I found a vehicle at another dealership 126 miles away that had what I was looking for. I called Zeigler and asked if it was possible from them to assist. They said they could. The next day I was told (Wednesday) no problem, we can have the vehicle brought to Zeigler on Friday. On Friday I was told Zeigler had already sent the other dealer a check to secure the vehicle's delivery. Later in the day I was told there was a transportation problem and it could not be delivered until Saturday. Saturday came with the same excuse of transportation problems, I was assured the transporter had the vehicle but was not able to deliver the vehicle at this time because of issues with the transporter. Meanwhile, I was able to print the loan contract and found, instead of being financed $28000, the loan was for 38000. I showed this contract to a loan specialist I know and was told this loan is not legal. I should not have been assessed and extra $10,000. I then investigated where the vehicle was, I was suppose get. I called the other dealership and found, no deal had been struck with them by Zeigler for a vehicle delivery. The other dealership did say they spoke with Zeigler about an exchange, Zeigler was not in a position to make a decision until Monday or Tuesday the next week. I found not only had I been robbed of $10,000, but also repeatedly lied to about the status of this other vehicle. The bright side to all this I was able to work with the lender to cancel out this loan, so I am not screwed out of $10000. I am looking else where for the vehicle model I wish to buy. I do not know what has happened to Zeigler over the past seven years, obviously dishonest business practices have become the new normal. More

Curt is who I have dealt with in service. He seems to be genuine, and I would refer him but....this dealer is a joke! The entire experience was disastrous beginning with the salesaman who t He seems to be genuine, and I would refer him but....this dealer is a joke! The entire experience was disastrous beginning with the salesaman who told lie after lie after lie. Made all sorts of promises and it has been rough getting any resolution. Unfortunately, I am going to have to pay out of my own pocket for the car to get professionally detailed, buffed and looked at. NEVER buy a used car from this place. They will tell you all sorts of things pretending to be your purchase advocate when they ONLY are out for themselves. Manager is RUDE and I am afraid to even go anywhere near this dealership. Really sad because I have bought from their other locations in the past and have always been happy. The car I purchased in July and it is now October and still my promises have not been delivered. Very sad. More
