My experience with Brad Benson

Brad benson is not the right dealer in my experience dealing with them

1)They advertise as 30% off posted dealer price.I looked at Santa Fe and the dealer price is $36,000. Wooooow what a scam. Roughly $8000 above MSRP. If you ask about 30%, they will say that you don't qualify because you are not from military.

2)The sales associate told all kinds of stories when i asked about the manufacturer rebates, I insisted hard and sat there arguing for one hour until i got the manufacturer rebates

3)Sales associates tried to steer me towards monthly payments which is a big scam by itself. Oh by the way DON'T walk into the dealership without cash or a preapproved loan.

4)Sales person asked me to sign on the paper that I am buying a car today just to hypnotize me as i was negotiating with him too much and he plays all sorts of tricks like

a) How would you drive to work if you don't buy the car today?.. yaa right

b) Somebody walks by and says, if you don't buy the car, there is one more customer who likes this car and he will buy it. I stood up and said Give it him and tried to walk away and my sales assoicate came back begging to come back to the negotiation table.

6)DON'T take your kids to the dealership.Look for friends who can negotiate well, atleast 2 friends.Be prepared to negotiate atleat 2-3 hours on the price, so DON'T GO with the KIDS and have 2 FRIENDS with you.

7) Don't tell about trade-in until you are satisfied with the price. Do your research on trade-in and don't trade-in until you get a good deal on trade-in. You can always sell by yourself.

8) Most important don't get into the discusssion of monthly payments. Negotiate until you get a good price, Avoid taking loan from them.

9)Research on the internet on hyuundai's website about the manufacturer rebates, the MSRP, financing information and take a printout and be ready to show the printouts, as I was shown OLD printouts which had different information.. Wooow what a scam.

10)FINALLY BE PREPARED TO WALK AWAY FROM THE STORE IF YOU DON'T LIKE INTO WHAT YOU ARE GETTING. There are other hyundai dealers too. Have a Plan-B.

First time car buyers beware, You have no idea of how dealership plays tricks. Better go with a person with enough experience.

Too bad I did not see the above comments before I went it to deal with them. I got screwed just as indicated above. Filing a claim with the BBB regarding this advertising gimmick. They also slipped in hidden fees and charges. After being beaten up for over two hours, I could not see straight when I signed the contract. Buyer beware is all I can say.

OMG, They ripped me off so bad, lying on my application saying I was making $4400 a month as a manager for Macy's when I told them I was disabled and tried to return the car within a week, they settled on a price just to shut me up but my health failed do to the stress. I am constantly telling people not to buy from them. The salesman michael told me I was having buyers remorse when they did a felony. They won't answer any of my calls.
