Red Deer Mitsubishi continues to live up to its poor - sailinglife2000
Red Deer Mitsubishi continues to live up to its poor reputation, and appears unapologetic about it.
My 82-year-old mother, who is currently dealing with terminal cancer and related cognitive distraction, brought her 2022 vehicle in for a routine oil change. While there, she was approached by a salesperson who encouraged her to trade in her nearly new vehicle, assuring her that she would end up with lower payments.
Those assurances were false.
She was persuaded into signing a new contract and is now paying more and financially worse off than before. When this was brought to management’s attention, the response from the manager was dismissive and alarming. We were told, in essence, that “our job is to sell cars” and that it is not their responsibility to assess whether a customer is vulnerable or capable, as long as a contract is signed.
There was no concern shown for her age, health condition, or the clear imbalance in the situation. The attitude was that the sale justified the outcome, regardless of its impact.
This is not just unethical — it borders on exploitation of a vulnerable senior. At minimum, it reflects a complete lack of integrity and basic duty of care.
Buyer beware, especially if you are elderly or have an elderly family member. I would strongly advise against allowing vulnerable individuals to attend this dealership alone.
