Typically I take negative reviews for business with a grain of salt. But the less than perfect reviews for Best RV are probably all spot on.
My Fiance and I were about to purchase an RV from them this weekend. I was text messaging the salesman who helped us out the last couple of times that we were there. And I asked him for an estimate of what the total was that we would end up having to finance. I only wanted a rough estimate, I would never expect for him to be able to tell me exactly what I owe without having purchased it yet. But it took him a day to get that number to me. From the way his text messages sounded, I assumed he would just need a few minutes to figure it out, then send it right over. But apparently he didn't have time for that. I asked him for the estimate at 4:00 PM yesterday, and after me having to ask him multiple times if he had figured it out yet, he finally got the number to me today at 11:00 AM.
In the meantime, My fiance and I submitted our financing application online. We fill out the application to the best of our ability, just like anyone else would. Well, I get a call from the man in the financing department today and he says that he will need pay stubs and W2s for both of us showing our income. I said that's fine, I can do that. However, I need to ask a question regarding my fiance's income. I tried to explain that my boyfriend works in construction and sometimes they have really good years, and sometimes they have really bad years. In a really good year, he can make close to $100,000 a year. However, last year he only worked 4 months out of the year so he didn't quite make what his normal salary is. But this guy in financing pretty much said that if the number that I put on the application isn't what is written on the w2, our application will be declined. The fact that my fiance has been working steadily for the past 6 months and brings home over $1,000 a week after taxes, could not and would not be considered. Overall the man in financing was kind of a jerk. He came off like he had very little respect for me and made me feel like I was an idiot.
So long story short, dealing with "Best RV" left a bad taste in our mouths. About 10 minutes after speaking with the gentleman in their financing department, I filled out a loan application on my credit union's website and we got preapproved in less than 5 minutes. So this weekend we will be heading up to Sacramento to go purchase our RV from a different dealership. read more
