Bronx Suzuki Dealership=Super Shady
Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2012 3:33 pm
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here so I thought I'd make it a useful one, (I've been monitoring this site for a while for useful info, but am now on the market for a new Kizashi).
I found a Bronx, NY Suzuki dealer that is currently advertising on Autotrader, specifically $8,000 off 2012 and $7,000 off 2013 new Suzuki cars in inventory.
Well, obviously this sounds too good to be true, as few other dealers are suggesting this much off in advertisements, with no catches, fine print, or asterisks.
The way they are doing this is simple, but very misleading. They are giving you back the $500 rebate on the 2013's or $1,500 rebate on 2012's, $3,000 Factory to Dealer cash, but here is the kicker:
The loyalty rebate, Military rebate, recent college grad rebate, etc, they are ADDING THEM ALL UP TOGETHER (as if all of us will qualify?), and coming up with the total price making it $7k or $8K off the MSRP. I spoke with them on the phone, and almost drove the 100 miles to the dealer to work on a deal. Needless to say, I figured out their little scam and questioned the General Sales Manager on it (he didn't want to give his name, and was pretty rude with me), he then finally stated, "come in and we'll explain how it all works." S H A D Y.
I answered that I felt the ads were very misleading as it appears all will get 7 or 8K off the MSRP without stipulation, they didn't like this very much. Needless to say, I'd avoid doing any sort of business with them. On Tuesday, I plan to call Suzuki USA and file a complaint. 800-934-0934, for whatever that is worth.
Please feel free to let me know what you think.
