My overall experience with the Savannah motors dealership has been a very negative one. In the end they turned out to be the typical shady dishonest dealership. I recently purchased a used vehicle from them in late August 2013. They had a particular car that caught my attention so I contacted them in regards to the car and at first was satisfied with our initial interaction. I spoke with a guy by the name of Luis... view more for the most part and also Robert (then later Ray). I was told by them on several occasions that the cash price of the car would be $10,999 with a down payment of $2500. I called them twice on the purchase date prior to my arrival to confirm the down payment and the total cash price. But when I got there it was a whole different story. So when I got there they ended up making the down payment $3000 and raised the cash price (not including the financing price/charges) to $11,999. So that`s about a $1,500 increase in what was agreed upon several times before that date and on that date prior to my arrival. In the end despite being initially mislead, I ended up purchasing the car via financing because the car had certain features/options that I liked that other similar cars didn`t. While I was waiting for them to finalize the deal I took the car for a test drive. It drove pretty good but had a few issues, for instance the steering alignment was off and after doing a second visual check I noticed a lot of paint issues, scratches, and other issues inside. The total time it took for me to finish everything there was about 3.5hrs which is ridiculous. They also had me waiting on someone to do car checks who was supposedly associated with the dmv but then a week ago I was forced to bring back the car to a local dmv because someone changed the Odometer reading on the car which leads me to believe that something must have happened with the engine that wasn`t mentioned anywhere on the carfax etc. I plan to get an engine and overall check very soon just in case. Another issue I had with them is that recently I made an agreement with them over the phone for a payment which was for them to charge me a certain amount and to call before processing the payment (running my card). They ended up Running my card for twice the amount that was agreed upon over the phone (the actual amount that I signed in the promissory note) and didn`t give me a call or anything. So that just shows me that not only do they run a shady business but their verbal promises are worthless. The only positive thing I have to say about them is that they let me slide a little bit on the initial total down payment, so I paid $2000 initially instead of 3000 but still owe $1000 and also they were able to get me financed when others turned me down although their interest rate was a little bit over 20% apr and I did have two other dealerships that were ready to make a deal with me. Lastly, if you are considering getting a car from these guys then just be wary. There is at least 2 other reviews online speaking of them raising prices. Also when car shopping don`t make the same mistake I did which was not taking my time and being patient, otherwise you`ll get screwed over and taken advantage of from guys/wolves like Savannah motors inc.
