Thank you for sharing your experience, Scott. I’m glad to hear that you had a positive experience with your salesperson, but I sincerely apologize for the delay and confusion in completing the financing process. It’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and I regret the inconvenience this caused. I’d like to discuss this further to ensure that we can address your concerns. Please feel free to reach out to me directly so we can work toward a resolution. Sincerely, Jeffrey Slaughter General Sales Manager jeffreyslaughter@lithia.com
