They sold me a car that had been underwater, they didn't disclose that info or that the motor was bad. I read my contract before purchasing because I was buying my car $10,000 cash and that's what you're supposed to do. Not one time did I come across a page that disclosed any major issues with my car. I had to sign the bottom of every sheet and I did just that. My car died a week and a half after I got it! In that time I did an oil change, a tune up, I had to replace the radiator and thermostat, and I kept getting a code saying the 5th cylinder in my motor was misfiring. The car died y'all it's been sitting in my driveway for a year and today I decided to check the seatbelts because from the beginning when I cleaned it out I kind of suspected water damage. They smell like mildew more and more the closer it gets to the end of the belt! But let me go back a little because when I contacted them about the other issues I was having after having the car 3 DAYS! at that time they told me I bought it as is and they weren't fixing anything and it's all on me now. He said it in the most grim way with an added chuckle. I said ok and went to seek legal advice but in the state of Illinois there are no lemon laws so I was stuck with this junk and I was helpless. Something said check your contract, why when I went to read I found a mysterious page saying that I would possibly have to replace the motor... I was like wait I e never seen this otherwise I wouldn't have bought the car at all. I then got excited because I had proof that they fraudulently sold me a car. They failed to disclose this information and they couldn't say I saw that page because guess what (remember when I told y'all I signed every page?) there was no signature. So I instantly called the lawyer and as I snapped pics to upload for the legal team I noticed my signature was not in a single piece of paper but how was that possible if he took it in the back for "copies" and he switched the contracts! I wanna say his name was Jim but forgive me if I'm wrong because it's been a year and I'm still going thru the legal side of it all. I don't hardly remember his name but I can tell you whoever works in that building that had surgery with in the last year (he told us he was going to be off awhile for it) is the guy I'm talking about so beware of the man with the cane because he's the worst kind of human, very dishonest, and shame on you sir! But let me add when I've told this story to people around me I've discovered two of them had been there and also were sold lemons so be careful and make sure you read your contracts and pay attention to everything like I did. I've contacted the attorney general and I'm pressing the issue y'all got the right one this time. I got nothing but time to sit in a court especially when I know I'm right. You will pay for what you did to me! Enjoy read more

Here is the email that I sent Jeremy and he just replied that that there is nothing he will do i have all the records and documents showing exactly what i believe is unacceptable and I really would like to not have to deal with Ronnie at all if that is at all possible. Simply because he has already lied to me and caused me sleepless nights.. First off when i first called the dealership and he picked up the phone and ansured what few questions i had on the car which was.... Is it available? It does get 40 to 50 miles a gallon? And is their anything wrong with the car? He told me that their was not one thing wrong with the car those were his exact words and he never try's to mention anything about the Salvage Title not until after i had someone from work drop me off up their because i had no car at the time and he made sure to get the 2500 down payment from me and have me fill out half the paper work and then he springs it on me now its real slick how he gives you no time to find out what a salvage title even means i had no idea but if he could have told me just a hour earler i could have read up on it and would have diffenetley not have bought the car to begin with. And on top of that he didnt even sell it to me at the salvage title value which is $ 4300 i have the tax papers on that is what the state of missouri appraised it at. So he sells me a car for $ 9000 that is appraised at $4300 and that's not all the ad that you had on the car clearly says that it get around 45 miles to the gallon. Well just a couple of days after i bought it i knew that was not at all accurate because it only gets 12 to 15 miles a gallon reason the IMA battery is out on the car which is a $ 2500 dollar item now to me that qualifies as one thing being wrong with the car and two things the would be the Salvage Title. Now i did drive it back up to the dealership to see if he could have it fixed you know since it was right after i bought it and of course because he assured me their was not one thing wrong with the car.... but instead of helping me it just said well that sucks and let me know that it was my problem... OK so there are two options that i think is more than fair and i really hope that you agree the option being i have already paid more than what the car is valued at so 1st option being we clear the car note... if that is not possible for you than option 2 would be i bring the car back and just get refunded the money i paid on it one of these options could surely work. i really hope that you can work with me on the matter you can reach me at 903 910 9722 Now don't just go off my reviews please look them up on the BBB WEBSITE AS WELL THE BBB RECOMMENDS NOT DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM AT ALL COST!!! read more

Never go here. They admitted they do not check out the cars before they sell them and they are very pushy. We bought a car that we had to spend another $900 the day after we brought it home. Suspension problems and bad brakes are hopefully the end of our problems. We've bought other used cars elsewhere and never had issues like these. I would not recommend this dealer to anyone! read more

This place has a 1 star rating for a reason. (It's because "0" stars is not an option.) When we pointed out how overpriced the car was according to Kelly blue book our "salesman" (tall, thin man perhaps in his 50's) told it was more of a "guide" (obviously), but instead of trying to work with us he began discounting kbb all together and told us that "maybe you should go get more educated" (verbatim!). My father builds cars for a living and we do a large majority of our own car maintenance and repairs. We are also experienced car buyers. When I mentioned this he said, and I quote, "maybe you shouldn't come back!" I went inside and spoke to the manager, Ron, and he apologized but did not seem surprised in the least. Do not go through this dealership (or any others owned by the same people in the area) unless you want to be taken advantage of or insulted. You can do MUCH better than their lowest offers. Easily you can find a car for a couple thousand (or more) less even what they will "drop" the price to. The prices on their website and on their lot are wildly different and most likely any good deal you find (and called about 15 minutes before close the day before) will have been miraculously sold "yesterday". My partner just mentioned that when I was inside speaking with the manager, the salesman continued to mutter that he hoped we didn't come back. Edit: The salesman kept saying they didn't do wholesale pricing. That's not how they can run a business. Well we are at Lou Fusz Metro East and they proudly advertise wholesale pricing. Small, but clean dealership, laid back but not dismissive, we are finding multiple cars we love! On to test drive number two! read more

Kennedi Auto Sales - Car Dealers Near Me - Collinsville, Illinois

Very bad experience and I havent even went out to the dealership but just by the customer service from a guy name kevin was extrememly rude. How do you want to sell a car but have the worst attitude ever! They could not tell me anything wrong with the car and they do not do car faxes. I do not recommend this place whatsoever. Word of advice if you want to get good reviews the least you can do is have good customer service! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE! read more

Do not buy a car here no matter how good it looks on the outside or what they tell you about it! They are lemon dealers. Had trouble just after driving off the lot. They grudgingly fixed it but only made it worse. The SUV has had nothing but major trouble since day 1 and has cost a ton $$ in repairs. The new repair man said we got majorly ripped off and will only keep spending on this vehicle. The customer service at Kennedi stinks. The creepy salesman should have been a sign. read more

Absolutely awful experience. These guys are crooks.. I spoke to Brian about a car on Friday, he confirmed the vehicle ($4500) and offered it to me $3400 after I gave him the KBB value for the vehicle.. Saturday morning I drove from Alton to Collinsville to test drive the car. Brian then said, the car was $6000, and that the listed price was WRONG, then he REFUSED to honor the prices he gave me the day before.. Bottom line, check engine light was on, the car was obviously bonded and patched. The car was probably not worth 2000. Brian basically walked off and said oh well (after I wasted my time driving there after his lie... CROOKS read more
