I walked in thinking I was buying a normal car. - Vladimir
I walked in thinking I was buying a normal car. Instead, they handed me a quote loaded with almost $7,000 in invented fees, including their ridiculous “AB Value Package” that nobody asked for. They really thought I wouldn’t notice. They expected me to sign blindly. They tried to make me pay $7,000 EXTRA just because I showed interest in the car.
And the trade-ins?
A complete insult. Their numbers were so low it was basically an attempt to make me give my cars away for pennies, as if I have no idea what my vehicles are actually worth.
But the story didn’t end there.
They spent the entire week calling me, trying to convince me that I’m “wrong,” that this kind of overpayment is “normal,” and that I’m “missing out” if I don’t sign their fake inflated deal.
The desperation was unreal.
What completely broke my mind was when they actually offered to come to my home to “estimate my trades” and “talk in person.”
Who does that? Why would a dealership need to come to someone’s house to pressure them into a deal?
This was beyond unprofessional - it felt strange, desperate, and extremely uncomfortable.
The salesman smiled and pretended to be friendly, but behind that smile was a setup. A trap.
The moment I saw the numbers, everything became clear: this wasn’t a mistake. This wasn’t confusion. This was a planned rip-off from start to finish.
Northland Kia uses pressure, fake packages, hidden fees, invented add-ons, nonstop calls, and lowball trade-in offers to squeeze every dollar out of people who trust them.
If they treated me like this, imagine how many people they’ve already scammed.
Stay far away from Northland Kia.
