12/19/09: While shopping for a Dodge Caliber, my wife and I decided to visit the Tim French Super Store in Radcliff, KY. Upon arrival, we were quickly met by Melvin Summers, a member of their sales staff. The fast greeting was the ONLY positive thing about our visit, because things quickly went downhill. Melvin started with the typical ""pre-qualifying"" questions like desired car payment, financing or cash, possible trade-in, etc. He also asked to get my driver's license, so he could copy the info from it. I refused, because I didn't want the dealership to start pre-qualifying me before deciding on a car. The car we selected to test-drive was one of the Dodge Calibers on the lot (2008 R/T model). The car had a dirty interior, stained seats, ""check engine"" light continuously displayed, and no price listed on the vehicle. The vehicle also ran pretty rough during our test drive, but we kept an open mind. After returning the vehicle, I asked Melvin about the price. He quickly said he would check to see what it would take to put us into the Caliber, but offered no dollar amount. Melvin then offered to show us other Calibers on the lot, but we told him we were not interested. He guided my wife and I to the sales office and began asking us for our phone number, address, and whether or not I was trading in my vehicle. I started to get agitated and told Melvin that I only wanted to know the price of the car we test drove. Of course, he did not give us a price and left to talk to his supervisor. We heard him tell the manager that I wanted to know the price and he asked Melvin if he ""rolled"" us up yet. Obviously, this dealership was trying to squeeze every dollar it could from us and had no intention of offering us a fair price. Upon hearing the manager, we quickly left the establishment and have no desire to return. My recommendation is to steer clear of this dealership, because they are trying their best to rip-off consumers.
Pros: Quick Greeting
Cons: Shady Sales Department
