My husband and I had been in the market for a preowned mini van for ages, but all of our online…read moresearching was leading to dead ends. Cars with tons of miles on them or way too new and out if our budget. Thankfully, we found a car from Wilde Honda and the stars aligned. My husband was in and out in a few hours making the entire process extremely painless, compared to past car buying experiences that were full day affairs. Their ability to properly handle all the paperwork in a timely fashion kept the ball rolling too, I say this as our last car buying experience in Tampa involved the dealer having to overnight us paperwork they forgot to give us. Great job guys! We will be back for another car.

By his admission, he'd only worked there for 4 days, but he tried. He asked questions, took notes, and then brought in someone with more knowledge and experience, Mark. Mark was very straightforward about wanting our business that day. He knew how to walk the fine line between aggressive and pushy, but stayed on the right side of the line, giving the genuine feeling that he wanted to see us get a good deal. The teamwork was solid there, everyone working together to try to give us a deal we couldn't resist. Their finance manager was good at pointing out the pros and cons of all the options available to us, but respected our wishes to take advantage of the 60 month, no interest option. Needless to say, we walked away with a much needed new vehicle that day.

I traveled three hours to dealership. I called ahead to see if we were even close on numbers so I…read moredidn't make a useless trip. The internet manager promised $26,400 and maybe more due to a promotion they were running. When I got there the sales manager initially offered $19,000 then brought it up to $24,000. That is far as he would go. I wasn't happy about being lied to. I wanted to use my on bank where I could get 4.9% but they told me I had to use their bank. However, their website says a customer can use their own bank. Then the finance manager promised he could get me 6-7% and when I went to sign papers in his office, it turned out to be 9.09% for a 815 credit score. Finance manager also had me sign a blank ipad so he could use my digital signature. First I signed hard copy title docs. Then he signed a bunch of documents digitally without showing me the docs. He clicked the sign line every two seconds. Then I signed some more title docs hard copies. He then gave me an envelope. On the way home, I realized I didnt sign an installment contract nor did I ever see one. The next morning I looked in the envelope and the finance manager had signed my name digitally to a $43,000 installment contract without my knowledge. The last line in contract says, "You agree to the terms of this contract. You confirm that before you signed this contract we gave it to you, and you were free to take it and review it. You acknowledge that you have read all pages of this contract, including arbitration provision above, before signing below. You confirm that you received a completely filled-in copy when you signed it." I didn't see, review, or sign agreeing to any terms and conditions in the contract. I contacted the dealership and they totally ignored this issue. If you want to have promises made and broken, and a total stranger committing you to contracts you never agreed to then this is the place for you. Otherwise, go elsewhere if you want an honest car buying experience.

I have had two terrible experiences in a row with Sunset Kia of Venice Service Department. The…read morefirst experience they improperly replaced the oil plug in my vehicle resulting in oil spilled all over my garage. The most recent was a complete mis-diagnosis of a check engine light issue, where they wanted to charge me $2,400 for repairs that as it turns out would not have even addressed the main issue. The smallest of which is recommended replacement of a perfectly good battery for $448.20 before they could even fully diagnose the issue. The only valid charge would have been for a coolant flush. I had to reach out multiple times to get an update and ended up taking 3 days to get a bad result. They either did not know what they were doing or were consciously trying to overcharge me. An independent repair shop diagnosed the issue correctly and saved me considerable $$.

Their lot is at a very dangerous intersection of Bypass 41 and Gulf Soast Bulavard. There is a curv in the highway there and visibility was very limited. Ronald Foxworthy Park is on Guf Coast Blvd. To make matters much worse Plattner is parking vehicles for sale as close as they can to the highway. They are off the parking lot and into the grass right next to the sidewalk. I have asked the foreieners in the office to move them back, I have called the Sherriffs out several times. I won't even try to pull out there I have to go north and make a U- turn. There has been at least one accident there already, I'm sure there will be more, perhaps a lawsuit will convince them they are creating a very hazardous condition.

When I arrived, I told the salesman (I don't think he ever told me his name) what I was there for. We went into the office, where another man was in the back on the phone. The salesman that I was working with shouted back for him to get off the personal call and answer the business line that was ringing, then proceeded to talk poorly about the caller (I guess he recognized the number). After the person in the back hung up with the caller, he then shouted to the front where I sat with the salesman that he was going to "take a s@#t). The icing on the cake was that the salesman then proceeded to inform me that the car that was advertised for $4584 would be over $7800 out the door (including tax, tags and dealer fees). I hadn't even looked at the car!! I politely declined and went about my day.
