Complaint Review: East Hills Chevrolet

Avoid the evil lying morons  at East Hills Chevy in NY like the plague!! They love to use the term "Full Disclosure", but never actually practice it.  I drove  round trip 4 hours to see a vehicle that was "available".  After 2 hours with John Curlander, including test drive and full functional testing the he informs me that the vehicle has a deposit on it. I decide to put a 2nd deposit because the 1st guy's "financing doesn't look good" he says.  The next day I get a call on my voice mail from John exclaiming "Great News the 1st deal fell thru and the vehicle is yours!  We need you to get your insurance and proof of ID and we'd like to get you in the vehicle tomorrow." John informs me that I need to get insurance, a bank check and 6 forms of ID because I am buying in NY from out of state.  That night I get the insurance and the following day I get the bank check and ID's.  Since I didn't have a passport I went and paid $165 to get an expedited one. After I completed this I called him to find out when I could pick up the vehicle. I was then put on hold for a lengthy period, when John returned to announce that the 1st buyer had come up with financing and they sold it to him.   These individuals put us through the ringer and then justified what they did as being OK.  I spent several hundred dollars in gas, tolls, passport and other items. These people are EXACTLY why used car dealers are perceived to be liars and cheats.  The perception is reality in this case.  Hopefully I can divert at least one and hopefully more seekers from being scammed by East Hills Chevrolet.
