Avondale Dodge Beware Avondale Dodge avondale, Arizona

Back in March i purchased a 2012 Journey. it was an ad vehicle advertised at $16999. I was told that we could purchase the vehicle at a certain payment. about 2 weeks later they called us back in to re-structure the deal increasing the payment by $70 a month. Knowing we could handle the payment and having them tell us to refinance the vehicle in 6 months for a lower rate, we agreed on the payment.This past week my father also went to Avondale Dodge and they talked him into using their financing even though he was pre-approved through his credit union. They have now ran his credit 4 times. This made me look in detail at my paperwork. Come to find out they did what they called covering the overage on my trade in. 

Instead of receiving the new vehicle at the sale price i was charged $19486 for the sale of the vehicle plus $3800 for the negative equity of my trade. They showed me that they were giving me $2500 toward my trade but in fact that was applied to the selling price of the new vehicle, for a total selling price of $23286. IF YOU SUBTRACT THE $6300 THAT WAS OWED ON MY TRADE FROM THE TOTAL PRICE THAT LEAVES $16986. That means they gave me $13 for my trade in, plus financed the payoff of my trade in on top of the new vehicle "sale price".They also bumped our interest rate by an increase of 5%. I urge
everyone to proceed with extreme caution when purchasing a vehicle from Avondale Dodge, I hope that no one is taken advantage of like my wife and I were.
