AutoNation Acura North Orlando

We had a great experience at this dealership! Nick (in sales) was great helping us find the right car with all features that we wanted. Tom in finance was awesome with helping us finalize the details. A++ all around

I would like to inform you of an experience I had at your Acura of North Orlando store. On Monday 8-16-21, after my wife had been dealing with salesman Ghazi and finding the car she wanted, I accompanied her to also test drive the car. We absolutely wanted to buy the car and went inside to do the paperwork. After discussing a couple of accessories we wanted and having our credit checked, we waited for the paperwork to be prepared. This took a little while, probably longer than it should have since the salesman came back a couple of times and we had to remind him of the accessories to be added to the worksheet. We also had to remind him to include the small payoff from our trade in after another time. He was a nice guy but seemed new so no big deal. Our frustrations mounted when he was away from us for a minimum of 30 mins. He came back and said it would be 10 more mins. 18 mins later the business manager came to us, I do not recall his name, and said it would be a short while longer. I told him we would be leaving in 5 mins if things weren’t ready. A few minutes later, we were asked how we were going to make our down payment. We responded that we didn’t have a checkbook but could bank transfer the money immediately. Ghazi went to tell this to whomever and then came to say that a transfer would take even longer. This is when my frustration reached its breaking point. I went to the business manager and told him we were leaving. We would go get our checkbook and he could call us tomorrow when everything is ready. He said he doesn’t understand why we would leave. I said do you want to sell the car to me? He said no. I asked for them to have the GM call me the next day and he did not, I had to call him. The GM said that the place becomes like Walmart after 5:00. There were 2 other buyers in the entire store. I guess the GM feels like spending 60k on a car is akin to shopping at walmart. At this point I will tell everyone I know that buying from autonation dealers is a huge mistake.

Our salesperson, Gian, was great. Highly recommend.
