I went to buy an 04 trailblazer, I knew I was upsidedown in my vehicle. They said for me to take the vehicle home this was a no-brainer(not a problem). After 2 weeks I got concerned, no paperwork had been signed. I called, they said I needed a co-signer. I got a co-signer. They said I would be the co-signer and the person I needed for a co-signer would be the buyer to get the low intrest rate. The co-signer/buyer was 500 miles away.

When he got the paperwork he saw he was the only person on the paperwork for the loan. He called the dealership saying he didn't understand he wanted us on the paperwork for the loan. They said ok.

It never happened and they are trying to stick us with this loan on just him. Our trade in has already been paid off, with confusion on the new car.

It has now been over 1 month and nothing is resolved. I have had papers thrown at me by the loan manager when I told him I wanted to pull out of the deal. When I asked for my old vehicle back, they didn't know where it was. But like I said my old loan is paid off and my wife never signed off on it. These people lie and do not want to help you.

issue will never be fully resolved

AUTHOR: Craig - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, October 27, 2004

Tom, I'm sure you and your company think that all you have to say is Im sorry and everything will be over. Even though I got my vehical back and you got yours back doesn't mean everything is fine. Even if I had a never ending supply of $$$$, I would never buy a vehicle from RK nor would I reccomend anyone to go there. I have told everyone I can about my expierence with RK. I tried to get my vehical back for 4 weeks. Not a single person knew where it was. Sounds like someone doesnt have a good handle of their company or their job. screw you guys. Just to let you know, I got a bonus to pay cash for a vehical, I will drive as far as I have to to find the vehical I was going to purchase from RK. Never will I go back to you.

TRAIN CUSTOMER COURTESY

AUTHOR: BRETT - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, October 23, 2004

TOM, I'm sure you would like to resolve any differences and go the extra mile. The only problem is, it should'nt have to get as high as you and your sales personnel should not ask the customer "who pissed in your cereal today" when the customer walks away because a price won't be given without a test drive! It's absurd relations! Thanks but no thanks for the invite to go the extra mile.

I never ask for a butt kissing, just a fair playing field.

AUTHOR: BRETT - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, October 15, 2004

I have had two experiences with RK. The first was when looking for a used car. I was out in the used car section and spotted a nice looking Chevy Prism. A nice salesperson approached me and we greeted each other as expected. When I asked how much the car was, he said he would get the keys so I could test drive it and see how she drove. I refused and asked again how much the car was. Again the sales tactics came out in him and he returned the question with " how much do you want your monthly payment." He literally REFUSED to give me a price on the car unless I hopped in and drove it. Needless to say I walked away and he became very angry.

The second and final time I went to RK was when shopping for a new truck. I told them what I wanted and the salesman was very responsive. The problem began when he went in to present the deal to the financial boss. Their deal was thousands higher than two other local dealers. I asked once more what thier bottom line was and it was still much higher and my trade in was going to get 2-3,000 dollars less than the other two dealers. Again I walked away after giving it my best shot at dealing.

Two days later I rceived a call from RK saying they could go a little lower on the price. Sorry, I already bought a new truck from a dealer who didn't want to play games.

I belive in a fair profit for anyone and the best advertisement is by word of mouth. A loyal customer base is priceless. RK's ethics do not follow any of these. That's why with ANYONE, if they are honest they certainly will not be offended to have your concerns or demands written down on the contract as well. It has saved me more than once. Your power is you can walk away. They work for you not vice versa.

RK may be legit, but for me they had little ethics and next to nothing in customer service. I never ask for a butt kissing, just a fair playing field.

#2 Consumer Suggestion

You are are freed and clear of any

AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, October 02, 2004

They paid off your old loan, were you
if you were you are ahead of there game.
walk away now they have nothing but a car (your trade)
they are trying to do a straw purchaser,
if the bank knows this they will not approve the loan. Sure they will work with you now because
thier in the losing position, just think if the shoe was on the other foot they would tell you to go pound sand .Move on ,you have a co-signer
when the loan is approve make sure your name is first on all paper work and the co name in the co purchaser spot .You are are freed and clear of any
respondablity for yor trade if its paid off, your bank wont give their money back.

Good luck

My direct dial number is 431-6507. My email address is tomkline@rkchevy.com. Please contact me personally if there is anyway that I can assist you. I can assure you 100% resolution. Tom Kline
