Lease Return Center Triangle, VA: Damage Cars, No Transparency
Charlatans. ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ sells damaged cars at a premium. This dealer was not willing to compromise or be transparent with the car they were selling. They add $2,000 to $3,000 to the price if you're NOT paying cash. I inquired about a Mercedes C43 which showed noticeable damage to the rear bumper and interior door panel. They still priced the car at top of market range! Most appallingly, they refused to acknowledge the damage which affects market value. WARNING: ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฎ. Again, prices are based cash. For finance deals, they will increase the price and they profit off the loan. It took two emails where I pointed out the damage each. David replied via email stating that's just your point of view. That's how unscrupulous these cretins are. When I pressed him further, he said oh you want a discount? Considering it would cost 2K easily to fix the damage, you bet. You will find Mr. Melendez quite arrogant and miserable to deal with. He told me in an email that they sell 1,200 cars a year (low) and there will be some complaints. More deception. Again, the BBB has graded this dealership with an F for failing to address issues. I would not buy anything from them without a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) and have resources to sue them if needed. This dealer is the most obnoxious group of money-hungry, low-IQ, wannabe big-time, irritating individuals Iโve ever had to endure. You will be treated with zero respect and they will attempt to deceive you at every opportunity. Perform your due diligence and proceed at your own risk. Caveat emptor!
