over one week of corresponding with Ron G. thur emails i thought i found my used car. i even went and got pre-approved so i wouldnt be wasting my time and theirs. i gave him 3 opportunities to give the price of the vehicle and each time he had a different tactic to distract me. first time i asked was when i arrived and he he says first off i need your license. ok fine. then i asked him before testing the car and then he asked for the pre-approval letter and insurance. ok. after the test drive wife and i asked again. then he says,""i dont know. maybe you'll want to also add addition warranty. lets go in to see what it is."" another hour was then wasted on loan applications so they can earn their fees. i then asked him why they need a new application and he says that they need a hard copy for the sale. i didnt find out the price til the finance officer asked if everything on the car was disclosed. i told him no. he then turned the screen around and showed me the price. WOW. 700 dollars more than i was emailing him and 700 more than my loan approval. they wanted me to down 700 when i gave the Ron 3 opportunity to reveal me the price. we walked. Ron tried to say it was a misunderstanding and that it was just 700. what a fool i was. he CON me like all the cheap shops. all i wanted was a apology and my price, no downpayment, but he just jabber on about how this was all a misunderstanding. i finally got him to admit he mislead me and say that he was sorry, but it was too late. we wasted 3hrs of our night out. 2wks later now they have the car advertised on crglist for 600 less than what they tried to cheat me on. i got a better deal thru private and love the credit union experience. that transaction only took 1hr. RON Gil at RON TONKIN ACURA tried to con me.
Pros: lots of variety of cars to choose from
Cons: dirty 82nd avenue sales tactics
