The Dishonesty

I purchased a truck from Conklin cars in newton Ks, and they change the loan documents when I went into the finance office, I did not catch it when I was signing. so not even 24 hr later they called and said that my bank would not let me do 90 days before first payment. That was not true at all so I lost about 4K dealing with this dealership!!!

Great pricing cars in Ontario are "uncertified and undriveable", certification charges listed separately. Often great price if for financed only, cash price thousands higher. This makes your great,good,fair ratings absolutely useless.
