I've dealt with lots of dealers over the years. The high pressure tactics and shell games are all but expected when you attempt to buy a car these days. But Rick Case Genesis has taken the shady dealer reputation game to a whole new level. Not only are they dishonest when it comes to pricing, but they are actually engaged in outright fraud with regards to selling their cars.
I reviewed and signed a full, legally binding lease contract on paper. I signed every page. I initialed every section. It looked just like every other lease contract I had signed, and there was no indication anywhere that this was not a “real” contract.
After I signed and initialed every page of the paper contract, the Finance manager then presented me with a tablet, and said that I would need to do the whole thing over again via Docusign to send directly to Hyundai. I thought this was strange, as I had just signed what appeared to be a full and complete lease contract, and have never had to do this in my prior leases, but he insisted it was identical, so I began the process.
On page 2 of the electronic contract, I noticed a financial discrepancy with the paper contract. After some back and forth between employees, the manager indicated that the paper documents I had just spent 45 minutes reviewing and signing didn’t matter, and that they weren’t even supposed to be using them any. He took them from me and told the Finance Manager to shred them.
Of course, this meant I couldn’t compare the paper contract to the electronic one to identify more potential discrepancies which may have materially altered the deal. The Finance manager kept insisting that we were nearly done, and that the only thing that mattered was that the monthly payment was the same. He insisted that I finish reviewing and signing the electronic contract to complete the transaction, but continued to refuse me access to the paper lease contract I had signed in order to ensure there were no further discrepancies.
To add insult to injury, literally, I was verbally attacked by multiple employees throughout my time trying to resolve this issue, including the General Manager.
I’ve never felt the need to leave a bad review for a dealer before, but this experience was so egregious, everyone needs to know to stay as far away from Rick Case as possible. They are on a whole different level of immorality.
Too bad Rita doesn't care.
