We recently went to the new JD Byrider in Pinellas Park; they had just had their Grand Opening and the place seemed to draw quite a variety of clientele! We went in to just look but were soon "lured" in by the "quick-talking" salesman! We went thru the normal rig-a-ma-role (fill out paperwork, test drive, etc)!!! Our problem ran in RIGHT BEFORE WE SIGNED THE FINAL DOCOUMENTS!
Are you ready for this!!! Hope you sitting down! After we got the tour, and after we asked several questions... Which were totally skated around... Never got "my" questions - anwered... NOT A ONE! We were led to the back of a building to watch a JD Byrider tape!
We were placed in a room where we were video taped, audio recorded, and locked in a room... Thats right people... You read it right... While watching this tape we were locked in a room! The door had a handle that did not work AND a key code pad!!! The only way the door could be opened is by reaching your hand thru a window and turning the handle on the other side of the door!
At this time my husband and I started to become extremely uncomfortable and we told the finance man, when he decided to join us... After the tape was done... That we wished to leave and possibly return tomorrow; we would say anything to just get out of there... We wanted OUT!
At this time the finance gentleman seemed to become very, very irritated and he said that he would let our salesman know! Well, next thing we know we are being PRESSURED by SEVERAL people to stay and just fill out the paperwork! That experience gave new meaning to HIGH PRESSURE sales tactics! However, we stuck to our guns and left! THANK GOD!
Believe me when I say no car is worth being locked in a room, being video and audio recorded without prior knowledge or consent, and being berated by EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE in the shop! All I can say to you is RUN don't ride at this car lot... Buyer bewareee!!!
