Crooked as a dogs Hind Leg” is the BEST description of... - Deasmumhan
Crooked as a dogs Hind Leg” is the BEST description of Rendezvous Nissan located in Hawkesbury. So far they have also reported my review twice and had it removed twice... so here is is going up AGAIN.
I advise you consumers who purchase a vehicle at ANY dealership that the so called ADMIN fee is NOT a obligatory fee. It is a cash grab that goes directly into the dealerships pocket. No financial institution charges 599.00 to do anything. The cost of a vehicles pre-Inspection or “PDI” does NOT cost 599.00 nor does licencing. I say this as you will understand the story in a moment.
Names of the victims have been changed for privacy sake – however names of the offenders shall remain.
On October 21st 2019 a family member of mine went shopping for a Nissan QuashQai. That being said the cost of said vehicle was 25294.51 the cost of the enviro fees was 15.00 delivery was 1950.00, Federal Air Conditioner Tax was 100.00, ADMIN (the do nothing fee) was 599.00. Taxes are not included in here on the vehicle. The family member in question was a woman in her 60’s and did not know that the admin fee is NOT mandatory.
I got involved in this issue when my family member showed me the contract that was signed (sadly once a contract is signed it is set) she did not know that this fee was negotiable. I digress however.
Today 12/30/2019 I contacted this dealership and spoke to her salesperson Kyle Macrimmon a very unpleasant salesperson and inquired as to what the ADMIN fee included. Kyle sputtered around the issue and attempted to tell me that it included “little things” I again inquired as to what those “little things” were. He was unable to tell me what those were of course (which I expected) as they do not cover anything other than money in the dealerships pocket. He informed me that he would have a manger call me back.
Wayne Burge then called me back. I asked Mr. Burge to explain in detail what their ADMIN fee included. Wayne informed me in covered such things as licencing (When’s the last time you paid 599.00 to have your vehicle licenced in ANY province?), and financing work (the vehicle was purchased for CASH) so fail # 2 (and since when does setting up financing cost 599.00?), and pre-delivery (Baloney that’s the cost of doing business the dealership pays for). I then gave Mr. Burge some options. Option # 1 Refund the fee and I drop this matter, Option # 2 Explain the fee so that it makes sense or Option # 3 I contact OMVIC and write a nice personal review of this crooked dealership. Since I’ve written this I’ll assume you dear reader can come to the conclusion of which option the dealerships representative has chosen. Actually, I asked Mr. Burge to tell me what he would be doing about this matter. Mr. Burge was so kind as to inform me that he would do “nothing”.
So once again dear reader(s) please inform yourself before you go shopping for vehicles that the only OBLIGATORY fees that come standard with the car buying experience are as follows:
What you see in the window sticker in the vehicle plus tax, freight, Air Conditioning Tax, Environmental Fees, and the cost of the OMVIC licence. And a look on OMVIC go to their website will confirm your rights. I strongly suggest doing so before car buying.
Dear Mr. Kego the owner of said dealership. You can remain very proud going forward knowing full well that your staff are so happy to rip off the common consumer on your vehicles as so it seems are you sir. I shall give you all an A+ for that. Hang your heads tall for that, or take a bow, you’ve certainly earned it.
Rest assured OMVIC will be advised. I’ll be happy to take down this review for you though. The cost of its removal a paltry 599.00 All the best in 2020!
