Verified ReviewerTelling people don't go there
- - They pressured me to buy; it was the only approved car.
- - Finance gave wrong payoff numbers; 16.6% interest with $14k borrowed; emails unresponsive.
They don't care once they get the banks money they could care less if you have pay hight apr stay away less you want high payments
And can someone explain why your pushy salesman told me this is the only car I could get approved for? So, I can't get approved for something with a lower amount? I told them way before coming in that I really can't afford anything over $400 a month. I asked the salesman more than twice what other cheaper cars I could get. He said he would check but it seemed to me that all he was worried about was his commission.
They supposedly fixed the mileage issue that they had written down incorrectly on the paperwork. I'm supposed to trust their word? They seemed extremely anxious for me to change my review but after texting them with more questions and getting no reply to my emails, I'm changing it back.
Don't be like me and have to pay $14,000 in interest just to borrow money. They seem to care more about selling a vehicle than getting you something cheaper. All the salesman said was that the bank wouldn't like that. Yes, it was my mistake to sign the contract but had they explained the interest would be more, I probably wouldn't have done it.
I feel taken advantage of because of my bad credit and I knew I needed something but really can't afford all of this because I didn't know it was going to cost that much. I told them this more than once but the salesman didn't care. Guess he wanted the one that cost more.
So, don't be like me and most likely end up having to give it back. I don't know what I'm going to do. Don't trust what they tell you just to get you in there. I am very unhappy, and now I have a check engine warning light on.
- High apr
Preferred solution: Just end the contract refund deposit my old SUV back

Weird Salesman
- - Sales guy Matthew Michael; nice in person, rude via text.
- - Mom is in bankruptcy and needs a lawyer's approval letter; he showed up at the front door.
My mom was looking for a new car so I went with her. Our sales guy was named Matthew Michael.
He was nice when we were there but since my mom is in bankruptcy she needs a letter of approval from her lawyer. He was really rude over text so we both stopped answering him. Next thing I know, he shows up at our front door this past Thursday (the 26th) at 930 in the morning.
He knocked, and it woke me up and when I went to look through the peephole he was facing the other direction and I couldn't tell who it was. When I opened the door, he turned and there he was.

Sell unfixed vehicles!
- - Bought a 2018 Pathfinder on 12/12/23, traded in a 2017 Sorento burning oil.
- - Inspection found dry belt and worn hub, repair cost 1,012.01.
Yes, I have informed the company and they are disagreeing with everything that I had done to the car. I have contacted BBB and that got me no where but unsatisfied post. Than I’m in contact with my state attorney and they sent a letter but I got stuff from their lawyer and they r saying that I don’t have enough for them.
I got the nissan home on 12/12 and everything was fine until two days after buying the car. I heard a knocking noise when I stopped and turned on different streets. At first thought dust in the breaks. I had scheduled the next day Nissan near me a inspection to make sure everything was fine.
But when I got the news that my drive belt/serptien belt was dried out and stretched out, the noise I heard was hub/bearing broke, the car needed a wheel alignment, in cabin microfiber filter needs to be replaced. It would cost 1,286.00 to fix all this. So I had the major problems fixed first, the belts, hub/ bearing which cost 1,012.01 to fix. Grote didnt believe that shock absorber/hub/bearings needed to be fixed cause the axels where fixed.
That they 2,500.00 fixes before they sold me the cold. But Obviously they didnt fix *** The engine is burning oil, and I traded a car that was burning oil.
The previous owner didnt do oil changes right and now there is slug. They sucker me into this car and new the condition it was in wanted it off the lot
- Non
- Dont know vehicle on lot
- Rush you into a car
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Never buy a car from them. Stay far far away, if you want to buy a car go to a well known dealership in your area.

Verified ReviewerScammed me and rushed me into something couldn’t afford
- - Dealer raised price over asking; payments differed.
- - The car required hub/bearing and belt repairs and a recall for $1012.01.
I went in bought a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. I didn’t know price of the car until the salesperson sat me down.
The salesperson said we discounted the car for you and wasn’t told about any warranties. The car needs a lot fixes.
Asked if there was any issues on the car and was only told all our cars go through a certified inspection on the test drive. Got back and tried to work out numbers. But when we did he showed me this four squared paper that had the price of the vehicle and they raised the car price 1,565.000 over the asking price. Goes and tell me that they discount the car for me.
Than I asked how much am I getting for my trade and points to that square. Last I ask how much are my monthly payments pointed to that as well. I was thinking wow thats really good! Than get into finance office and my monthly payments was totally different.
They went up $600 more than what I was shown. But the finance manger was like we have this program were it will take money out every week at this price. I ask how much would it be semi monthly and it was half of my pay checks. So I go never mind, and did weekly at 200.00.
After everything was signed, and I drove the car home. The next day the car started having issues, and I heard a knocking noise coming from the front when I turned the car or started to slow down. I reported back to the dealership and they are like well you can bring it in after Christmas cause we are booked. But I knew this couldnt wait to than.
So I took it in to my local Nissan and they inspected it and the noise I was hearing was the hub/bearing. They Also found that cat had a recall that the previous owner was going to fix but never did and all three belts needed to be fixed. The car needs a wheel alignment. Everything cost me 1012.01 for 3 belts and hub/bearing.
They will not give me a cent back. I want to get rid of this car cause I can afford the payments and putting oil back into the engine.
If there is any other fixes that need to be fix. But Im literally stuck with it and saw me coming.
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerScammers and fraud
- - Price was not disclosed and payment terms were unclear.
- - Recall found after purchase; $1,012 in repairs; complaints filed.
Yes I have contacted the company but I have contacted the state attorney already. It’s a huge battle
Second day was in the build longer than 2hrs. Test drove the car, and sat down talk about numbers. Still didnt know the price of the car. When I sat down with salesman that didnt know anything about the car.
Showed me how much the car was going to be and how much had to put down. I told them that I dont have anything to put down plus my monthly payments think its going be low. Than salesman went back to his manger and came back ask if I had $0.07 than said yes. He took it and than came back to ask if I had $7.00 and Im like no.
But I just transferred money cause I needed to get gas in the car trade in my I get home. So I was like yes I have 7.00. Gave him my card and they processed my card. Im in the dealership for almost two hours now and waiting for them to write up the paperwork for me to sign.
Than get into the finance office and I saw my payments and said thats not what I agreed too. Im sitting in the office almost ready to walk away. Than the finance manger is like we have this program that will help you pay down your loan within 60months instead of 72months. Your weekly payments would be 214.00 and once again Im charge 215.00.
Than I asked what would it be twice a month, and it would be 430.00 and I was like thats half of my paychecks. So I went with weekly. As we went on and got to gap insurance and told the finance manger that didnt need it cause my car insurance helps if a total loss. Than he goes well two will be good and sliding the paperwork to sign for the gap insurance.
Tried telling again, but he didnt listen and goes go head sign at the bottom. Than got to warranty, and I had no was getting a warranty cause that wasnt explained before the office or in the office every well. Plus didnt even ask about a warranty and there was no option to decline. Plus the finance manger didnt want to go back into the computer and change if I declined.
Than after said and done, took the car home and also two days later hear knocking noise from the front of car. So I had inspection done by a Nissan dealership near me and they heard the same noise. Found out there is a recall, all three belts, and hub/bearing which they told me wheel bearing also wheel alignment . I fixed all the major issues first which costed $1,012.01.
Grote wanted me to come after Christmas for them to fix things and I know this couldnt wait. I have reported them to BBB, State attorney, federal trade commission

I bought a car and I thought was getting great deal turn out horrible two days later. First day heard a noise in the front left, like knocking.
Thought maybe dust and pressing on it could help get it out. It kept happening when stopping and turning. So I had made appointment get the car inspected and found that it need $1,287.77 of fixes plus a open recall.
One fix is a cabin filter, the second wheel bearing, third drive belt, and last a wheel alignment. I could of been killed on my way home the day I bought the car.

Great Experience
- - Great experience at the dealership.
- - They treated me well and saved me a lot of money.
- - There was mention of a 2028 vehicle being available in 2024.
Great experience. I found this pissed consumers when going to leave a review but pissed consumers is a scamming page looking for clients to pay them to remove these fake scamming comments.
Customers talking about a 2028 vehicle and its only 2024.. This dealership treated me well and saved me a ton a money.
Maybe that customer missed typed and didn’t realize. Oh I’m sure your car will have issues sooner than later. Give it time!

They screwed me over
First of all, they do not take cars in any condition thats a *** lie second of all do not let these *** tell you that theyre doing a soft pull on your credit because they are 100% screwing your credit they are not doing a soft pole I literally watched my Phico score go down while I was sitting at one of the desks waiting for this little guy to get me into the *** freaking car ever the car thats sitting in my driveway broke down is better than the one Im in now. Dont let these *** fool you because that is 100% what they will do.
This is the worst company Ive ever gone to and trust me. Theyre Grody for a reason because these are some Grody *** Luis is a little slimeball *** *** too. And its been exactly 7 days and my check engine light is already on.
I looked up the history on the car and its not good cramped, backseats brake problems. and its a choppy ride.
- All the cons
Preferred solution: I want to drive a car that I actually qualified for and I don’t wanna have to pay a crap ton of money for it either I had a good credit score when I walked in there and walked out with a horrible credit score
User's recommendation: Do not go to this company. You’re better off going to Ford it’s on Alpine.

I agree with this customer. I bought a car from them and I paid over msrp and have a high interest rate.
Since I had the car it’s been in a car shop more times could actually drive it. They also add things to your bill that you weren’t told about.
