   The New GM Dealership    

(The Old Doug Potter GM Dealership)


 
My wife and I stopped at this dealership and looked at a Saturn wagon. The car was very clean and looked good. The price listed on the car was $5995.  We took the car for a test drive and it rumbled and shook and the brake pedal went down to the floor.  The car was unsafe. The salesman said they would check it out and fix it. The tires and brakes were shot. They put on four new tires and installed new brakes. 

When we went down to test drive the car again the salesman said he would have to add the cost of the new tires and brakes to the price of the car. I was startled by this but my wife really liked the car. She has had two hip replacements and it was easier for her to get in and out of this car. Our Caravan was hard for her to get in (and out) of and caused her pain when she entered and exited the van. The Saturn was much lower and was easier and pain free for her to access.  (We also asked them to make sure they got  a handicapped license plate for the car. They didn't.)

<>So…..I agreed to buy the car at the much elevated price of $6800+.  When they delivered the car it was empty of gasoline. That’s right -- the low fuel warning light and buzzer came on while backing out of the driveway after they dropped it off.  Earlier when I asked the salesman about putting some gas in the car he said apoligetically “Well, I did wash it for you.” Finally, after I mentioned it, a week or so later to Kevin he put some gasoline in the car for us.

<>When I purchased a car from the used car dealership down the road (Huron Auto Sales) they automatically filled the car with gasoline without me even asking.  This is an great used car dealer.

<>I wonder where we will go to buy our next car?
