I visited Jim Ellis GMC on September 22,2025 regarding the purchase of a 2025 GMC Sierra. I had set an appointment to view the vehicle, yet upon arrival the truck was not visible. Neither the sales repres the purchase of a 2025 GMC Sierra. I had set an appointment to view the vehicle, yet upon arrival the truck was not visible. Neither the sales representative nor the sales manager could locate it for nearly 15 minutes. I was eventually escorted to another location on site, where the vehicle was finally shown. To my disappointment, the truck was dirty inside and out and was not clearly prepared for showing-especially after I had been assured beforehand that it would be ready. Despite this, I was still interested in the vehicle and hopeful of receiving fair treatment and a good price from a reputable local dealership. After several rounds of back and forth negotations, we agreed on a purchase price. From the beginning, I was clear that I wanted to take advantage of the advertised 2.9% financing rate thru GMAC. However, the finance manager initially offered me a 7% rate, and after more than an hour of back and forth, only then agreed to the 2.9% rate over 72 months. After full execution of paperwork, new truck was driven up to allow transfer of personal items. Shortly later, sales manager mentioned that our agreement was not correct and agreed to 2.9% rate could not be offered nor accepted, and I would need to accept a higher rate of 5.9% or find alternative financing. After giving experience some thought, I returned truck to dealership the next morning. The entire experience was unprofessional, unethical, and incredibly frustrating. I have purchased vehicles for over four decade, and this was by far the worst sales and finance process I have ever encountered. More

The employees I spoke with were very helpful without being pushy. I felt comfortable and helped throughout my buying process. It was great to have such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere without the pres being pushy. I felt comfortable and helped throughout my buying process. It was great to have such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere without the pressure of other dealerships. Even while waiting, I was sitting in the area and employees were coming in and out and just speaking with me (instead of trying to just push a sale me). The three employees I worked with were all great to work with and I will definitely be returning for my next vehicle. More
