Kirby Neilsen Chrysler Dodge ripoff, complete scam artists, conartist, bad business practices, assume things that are not true Greenville Michigan
I went to Kirby Neilsen to LOOK at cars. I found a van I was interested in. The salesman took my name and soc. Then after the loan application came back approved I sat down with another salesman or so I thought.
I wanted to crunch prices and he asked who my insurance company was.
Mind you I have only asked about the van. I DID NOT say in any way that I was going to buy it. This creep got on the phone and started calling my insurance agent and began to switch my insurance policy!
I in no way said he could do this! I said to him what the hell are you doing? And he said he was switching my insurance to my new van. I told him I had not said I was buying that van and I would never step onto their lot again.
I read the rebuttle and the idiot who said they aren't scam artists is way wrong. That person obviously doesn't know what good business practices are!
I went to business school and those flyers they send out are in fact a scam! That guy that wrote the rebuttle needs to go to school and learn what way businesses take advantage of unsuspecting consumers.
I'm glad someone complained about Kirby Neilsen. I just wish I had thought of it first!

I lived in Michigan from 1997-2001. When I bought cars there, I was required to show my Proof of Insurance and Driver's License! A dealer CANNOT SELL A CAR TO AN UNLICENSED person. Who are you trying to kid? You can't get insurance if you don't have a license either!

This is in response to Ruth in Michigan that said the dealership didn't care she didn't have a driver's license. If that dealership was located in Oregon and they allowed you to drive off the lot with the car (which you did not indicate you did) and you were stopped by the police or if you were involved in a motor accident, the dealership would be held responsible.
Also if you were stopped by the police and didn't have a valid driver's license, the car would have been impounded since in Oregon any operator of a motor vechile that is un-licesned, driving with a suspended driver's license, or was unable to provide proof of insurance the law requires the vehicle to be towed.
I hope for your sake you are not driving the vehicle without at the very least liability insurance.

Kirby Neilsen Not Rip-off

I am a customer of Kirby Neilsen. I bought a 2005 Dodge Durango SLT in October 2005. It was my first brand new vehicle. The salesman was excellent he got me a low payment with zero down and I dont have a license so, every other dealer I went to said no. They were great people to deal with.

Over anxious? yes. Pushy? yes. Assuming? yes. Were you ripped off or scammed? No way.
I read the previous post and by no means did it warrant you calling him an idiot. Do you normally give out your social security number if you are just looking? From what I read, my conclusion is that you offered to buy it but couldn't come to a price you both agreed on.
By the way, I went to business school as well and I seem to remember that spelling was a requirement.

Okay okay...Calm down. First of all, so you don't bite my head off- if the story you tell is totally accurate, then this salesman had no right to call your insurance company and that was very smarmy. You should have never given him that information and should have recognized that if you were just simply "looking" at a vehicle , that there is zero reason to be asking for or giving that type of information.
You seem intelligent enough...why if you were "just looking", though, would you even be giving out your social and filling out a loan application?? That's way ahead of the game, didn't you think? (Just because someone is asking doesn't mean you EVER have to do anything, especially if common sense makes you wonder why...)
I have no clue about this particular dealership, or for that matter- where Stanton, MI is. So don't accuse me of being on their side...
I just wanted to point out a few things, as well as AGREE with your main complaint of the story about the insurance. But how is it a rip-off? Obnoxious, yes! It seems like one would have to be OUT something or some money to claim a rip-off. Not just disgusted.
Good luck to you and if this dealer is as bad as the two of you say, then they will do their ownselves in, I'm sure.
