Dayton Shopping

Ok, you have reached my pet peeve addition for Dayton. If you are not local or looking to buy a car in Dayton, keep going. Otherwise, I will relate my horror story of this place, to you.

A few years back (almost 10), I bought a Chevy Cavalier from these clowns. I say clowns because my sales person was this red head who literaly looked like a clown! Anyway, the price was a bit high compared to the other places in town. So, I tried to bargain, figuring I could always go elsewhere. Well, I got her down a little bit, so the price was matched. She agreed but had to "go check with her supervisor" wink wink. So, she runs off to the back and comes back saying she couldn't do that, but for the same price on the window, they would throw in free of charge an extra 2 years warranty bumper to bumper. I was thinking that 5 years would be cool, and accepted.

Three years and 30,000 +1 miles to the date, the transmission in my car blows up on me while I am out of town. 4 hours waiting for a tow, and an uncomftorable 50 miles in the wrecker. We get to White Allen and I am informed that my vehicle was no longer under warranty. They basically tricked me into the regular price, no extra warranty. And here is the kicker. The Chevrolet dealership told me point blank, while looking me in the eye, that it is better than average to get 30,000 miles out a Cavalier's transmission before it blows up. I was stunned, I actually double checked to make sure I heard him correctly. Chevy Cavalier's regularly lose transmissions before 30,000 miles? And it was confirmed. Naturally, the salesperson who sold me the car was no longer with the company, so I lost out.

No offense to my friends who work at the Lordstown Ohio plant where it was made, but Chevy's suck! I now own a Hyundai Sonat which at 75,000 miles has yet to have a problem that cost me over $200 to fix. And the dealer I bought from has been incredible, giving me a loaner (Lexis) when my car has needed to be in the shop. yes sir, I have learned my lesson!

Nothing, buy nothing from White Allen, ever!

Pay extra if you have to, just avoid these guys like the plague!
