Warning...this is a long post: Yall know I dont come on here to bash anyone or any entity (business).... HOWEVER, I will call out anyone who is shady or a liar....Ill call out an assclown or p.o.s. too... I will also let yall know who to steer clear of or have no dealings with, based on my own experience(s), not simply because I heard someone flapping their lips (aka...I dont gossip)... So here you go, word of advice from The QueenBee (yep, thats me): Do NOT buy, lease, trade, sell, give away a car from/to Waldorf Dodge (theyre also Waldorf Ford, but I had dealings directly with the Dodge side). Almost 7 months ago (yes, thats SEVEN), my son ordered the new scat pack 2015 Challenger...to his specs...from this dealership (who, from the onset, promised that not only would they make this deal work, but would do anything they could do help us with getting the car delivered in a timely fashion). This particular Challenger (with my sons specs) was not (and continues to not be) readily available in any of the area Dodge dealerships, so hearing (at that time) that we would probably have to wait up to 8 weeks for the car, was understandable. Further, my son was ecstatic because he was trading in his current Challenger (which is a CHERRY...I mean, he keeps her impeccable and barely has any miles on her...I think about 32,000 miles and its a 2012) and was promised top dollar for his trade-in (whatever it took to get the deal). After MONTHS of hemming and hawing...and still no scat pack Challenger delivered , we find out that another Challenger had been ordered and sold and his hadnt even come out of production yet?? We were told that the dealerships were allotted only a certain number of these cars each, and someone else at their dealership already ordered one, meeting their quota...seriously, WTH??? So...what could we do. We wait. And get more frustrated. FINALLY, December 29th, the car was to be delivered...YAY! But wait...not so fast. We get to the dealership to hammer out the final deal, turn over my sons trade-in, etc., etc. The salesman we had been dealing with would not come to the showroom to meet us...even though he KNEW we were coming and there. Apparently, he had been promoted to General Sales Manager and so, we were given to one of his underlings...and thats when the fun began. All of a sudden, the MSRP was higher than what we were told...the trade-in value of my sons car went to shit...and we couldnt even see the car. I mean, seriously, dont you test drive a car before you rake over thousands of dollars to buy it???? After 3 hours of BULLCRAPPY, that promoted salesman turned GSM, makes an appearance to basically say, Im sorry, but these are the numbers...tough crap if you dont want the car. We left...stating we would return on January 5th (with dad in tow). Fast forward to today....dad finds out that the car is sold...and NOT to my son. It was sold that day we were in there...to SOMEONE ELSE who they got to pay MSRP!! Thats why we were not shown the car....thats why they made the deal unattainable. I know car dealerships/salespeople have a rep for being shysters/shady...sort of like lawyers and politicians...but DANG, these here DEFINE that and then some! I know this was a long read, but especially for those of you in the Mid-Atlantic area, STAY AWAY from Waldorf Dodge (Crain Highway in Waldorf, MD)...do not buy a car from this group....do not have your vehicles serviced there. If I were you, Id go to a dealership that cares about their customers, not one who cares only about digging in your family funds deeply. Go to a dealership that wants to build a lifetime customer, not a one-time rip-off. Go to a dealership where there is a modicum of integrity. Let our lesson learned be yours too...without the hassle of what we endured. If you need some recommendations, message me or ask here....since working in this industry now for over a year, Ive come across some GREAT dealerships who are all about integrity and building their long-time customer base!
