This place is a complete scam. They'll sell you something worth a third the price they're asking. Then they'll get you financed through loaning agencies to which grant you a loan almost doubling the already inflated price. My lesson was learned when I was 18 years old. I bought a car from this particular dealer thinking because I was young and had no credit this was my only option. It completely destroyed my credit when I realized I was paying biweekly payments of $365 and couldn't afford it. Their loaning agency harassed me at work after missing the first payment. My uncle whose an attorney informed me that under Michigan law I had a month to return the car. So with the threat of repossession I was honest and told them i couldn't afford the auto loan. I was more than willing to return the car. The harassing phone calls to my employer kept coming. I told them again to take the car that I'd have a month to give it back anyways and didn't want to ruin my credit. They then decided to try and work out different payment arrangements with me. Mind you I chose to drive my other vehicle into work because I worked on the other side of the state and didn't want to be stranded if they took the car. Well after making different arrangements with them, the following Monday after driving it to work they grabbed it out of the pullout. While I was out on a job in a company bucket truck. What do you know? It was exactly one day after the month. They proceeded to then auction the car off for $1,000 and sue me for almost $9,000. Now 30 years old and not as naive as I once was, I've financed multiple vehicles through reputable dealers at blue book price. When I want a loan for a vehicle through a private seller I go through my credit union. Don't get scammed. Try a credit union, and try a reputable dealer first. This place should be shut down.
