Kia At Arbor Place Mall

This was a bad experience. Do not go there unless you like high high high pressured car sales.
First — we went in just to look at the Kia Sorenta b/​c Kia had a nationally advertised lease of 239 a month. On the way there this dealership had lease deal of 0 down and 199 a month on the Sorento. The Sorento is smaller than the SUV we wanted to see but because they had such a good deal and the car is well rated we thought we’d see if we could make it work.
We drove up and told the guy that we aren’t buying today we just wanted to drive the Sorento. He ushers us to a desk to sit down and talk… passing a Sorenta we could look at. Finally we convince him to drive the different models. He pulls out the base model and lets us drive it for maybe two miles. Good road test right! Not!
The whole way he’s like oh you should try to buy this car not lease. You could get 0 down and the national average is 329 a month on car payments so we should see about a purchase too. So we’re like okay great.
Then we come back and say okay — in the LX and the GX tell us what you can do for us lease and purchase. He goes away and is gone like 20 mins. Comes back with the «quote» for the LX. Which he won’t let us hold… he holds onto it and he’s like okay can I get you into this today. So then I say wow this lease is over 300 a month and the purchase is over 500 a month (with money down). We ask, what happened to the 199 a month lease you advertised? Then he says oh we don’t actually have that model in stock but its even more of a base model then what you drove. Why are you advertising it on 5 billboards if you don’t have it in stock.
So then we ask him where the quote is for the GX. So he goes away another 20 mins and comes back with the GX quote with completely different parameters. This is no money down and like 75 months at close to 600 a month. So we are then like okay look. Thanks for the information we have to go.
The guy won’t stop. He keeps on and on that he wants to put us in the car today. We keep telling him that we have other cars to drive that we’ll take the quote and consider it. Then he brings in the manager and they both are like oh you know when your gut tells you something is right. So then they come back with another quote and we’re still like we are not buying today. We are just starting our search. We have other cars to drive. And he give us the final quote of 490 a month with 0 down for 75 months and I said okay we will take this under consideration how long is the quote good for and he said right now. If you don’t take the deal now its off the table.
This was a horrible horrible horrible experience. We are making a large purchase and will not be pressured into buying something that costs upwards of 30K. If you have a good product and you believe in that product you should not need that ridiculous pressure.
SO — not only is the Kia in Douglasville off the table for us as a consumer but the entire Kia line is off the table as well. If this is how Kia allows it’s dealerships to act then I have to ask myself what is wrong with their product!
