Thomas Nissan & Hyundai Solicited a credit challenged customer, couldn't provide financing as advertised, and subjected me to humiliation and inconvenience, ripoff Calumet City Illinois
This dealership is represented by a "man of the cloth" on a local radio station. He claims to use his position to educate minorities on how to buy a car. He states that African-American women pay more that anyone else for a car and that they are always targeted by salesmen for over priced vehicles. He claims to be able to protect the minority consumer at this dealership because he is a "man of the cloth".
Well, I went to the dealership, and gave him my information. I was looking to get into a newer car and was not up-side down on the vehicle that I'm driving. This man kept running back to me saying "we can help you, we can help you! I advised him that I wanted a pre-drivien vehicle and asked about the price of two on the lot. He kept saying we need to see your trade! So I handed him my registration (that I never got back) and said I'd bring the car in when I got the prices and an approval.
He never gave me the prices, though he "prayed" for other customers in the showroom. After 2 hours and a lot of frustration, I left. I was completely up front about my situation, and did not drive 30 minutes to be humiliated. This dealer solicites credit challenged customers on the airwaves and cannot produce. African Americans, don't waste your time if you don't have A-1 credit!

First we have sight challenged, then we have learning challenged, now we have "credit challenged". What will we have next? Intelligence challenged. It figures. We have a "man of the cloth" being used by a car dealer to ripoff minorities. Think about it. The two kind of go togeather. Good luck trying to get a price and an approval. Stick to what you have, put the money they would have ripped you off of into a savings account and buy the next vehicle cash. You won't be humiliated, you won't be ripped off and you won't be "credit challenged" any longer.
