My family and I have been the latest victims of Tyler's Jefferson Motors in Mt Vernon. On June 18 after driving 22 hours from a family vacation to Disney World in Florida, our car died on I-57. We took our car to two separte car shops who could not fix it when we were told to go to Tyler Jefferson.
Not knowing the area or anything about this dealership we did. Boy was that a mistake. We first meet Mike Stieman who in the beginning was nice. We test drove two vehicles and settled on a 2008 Ford Edge.
Mike quoted the car at 21,995 and gave us 3200 for our trade in. However, when the paperwork was drawn up the listing price was 24,995, They increased the price of the Ford by the amount of our trade in.
They then took the new amount of 24,995 less 3200 the amount of our trade in and listed the car at 21,995. Basically, we got nothing for our trade in. But wait it gets better, they double charged us in taxes and fees and hidden costs.
They also charged us 5,000 for taking out the loan. My husband's credit score is 770 and mine is 715. We should have not been charge this amount for taking out the loan.
But I digress, when we got home we pulled up their website and the car we just bought for 24,995 was listed on thier website for 21,995. I called the dealship back and they could care less.
They claimed their website is handled by a third party and that they are not responsible for the site. Which is crap. Needless to say i will be contacting the better business bureau, states atty office, states representative office and anyone else that will listen. My goal is to screw them as much as they screw us. Stay toned.
