7/27/2010 - Baron Auto of Medford!

And here's a story that comes from a loyal reader by the name of Don.

Baron in Medford is not much better. My wife and I were looking to purchase two vehicles and they asked for insurance cards from us before we inked the deal.

I specifically told Michael and Joe that I would send over a binder but not the cards, due to that fact that with the cards they could register the vehicles in my name and then I would be stuck with them without knowing the monthly payment or what they were giving us on our trade ins.

That is when they took it upon themselves to call my insurance broker and tell them that as per my wife, they were to receive the insurance cards. Thankfully I have known the insurance broker for 12 years and my wife for 20 and she knew this was not the case. They were trying to register the vehicles in my name before I had agreed to the terms so I would have been locked in and screwed and possibly stuck with not only the two vehicles I was trying to purchase, but the two I already owned.

I just love a good heart warming story like this. Go Medford! Keep it dirty!

7/22/2010 - This story is about Baron of Brooklyn

Aaaaaand, here's a story from a loyal reader by the name of Amy.

Hey Jake,

Just saw your website and thought you'd like to hear my heartwarming story about Baron.

I'm from MN and me and my fiance flew to NY to buy an '04 Benz E500 we found online from them (on Utica Ave, Brooklyn). First of all they wouldn't accept our cashier's check, which should have been a big red flag, and they said we had to finance with them. We had to argue to be able to see the car before filling out the paper work, because they said "what's the point of seeing the car if you aren't approved for financing?"

6 hours later (NO SHIT)... we finally were sent back to the financing office. We were so pissed off because they had us sitting there for no apparent reason waiting for hours, even though we knew from the moment we got there which car we were buying. In the financing office some dude with crooked teeth talked at us 100 mph as we went through the half blank paper work (They said they'd fill it in after we left so we wouldn't have to wait there anymore... another big red flag... seems so obvious now.) Then they sent us away w/ only one piece of paper as our reciept, which we had to ask for, and said we didn't need any other copies of anything.

Anyway they forged my fiances signature on a revised bill of sale saying we bought the car for over $3,000 than we agreed to, forged the loan contract, and also did not reimburse us $3,000 for the warranty we cancelled that they pressured us to buy, saying we would get a full refund. This was back in Feb, 8 months ago. So that plus interest... they have stolen and costed us over $8,000 not including attorney fees. We finally hired a lawyer and are in litigation, and they are now denying they did anything at all.

From the moment we walked in there the scamming began. It was well planned out and deliberate. DO NOT go there. They are scam artists and theives.

Thanks for your website! I didn't realize Baron was such a big company. That makes it so much more disgusting what they do.

Take Care! Amy

Baron of Brooklyn is evil as well!!! ** Scary organ music **

7/20/2010 - I love me a good Baron Auto Story

This is a story from a reader by the name of Dee. Unedited, just as all prior emails. Check it out, I hope you guys find it as intriguing as I do! This story takes place at the Baron Auto on Hollis Avenue in Queens, NY.

Hi Jake

Dude I love your website. A friend just emailed me your website link. Last year I was looking for a car in a local newspaper. At the time I drove a 2001 Lexus GS and was car shopping for my wife. I came across and ad for a 2003 Grey Lincoln LS for a decent price so I decided to check it out. I arrived at Baron Auto Mall on Jamaica Ave in Hollis, NY and asked to speak to a salesman about the car and was told to wait a while. They offered me a cup of coffee and were very polite. I waited about 10 minutes and then decided to go outside for a smoke. When I came back they said that the salesman for the car is still not available. I started to get frustrated and asked to see the car anyway. I was again told not to worry and just sit and wait a bit longer. I sat again for another 10 minutes and took it upon myself to look at the car without assistance. When I got to the showroom to my surprise the salesman was by the car with a mechanic and smoke was coming out of the engine. They had me in the front for 30 minutes trying to clear out all the smoke before they showed me the car. When I asked him what the problem was he told me not to worry about it and they will have the car serviced and the problem would be fixed. I was no longer interested in the car. The salesman wanted to show me other cars but first he wanted to run my credit. I told him that it was OK and I saw a few cars that I took interest in. I signed a release and gave then my driver's license.

The next 4 hours was hell. Not only did they show me cars that I noticed had problems but they showed me cars way out of my price range. I would have just walked out of there but the sales manager disappeared with my license and no one could find him. I realized I was being held hostage until I made a deal. Anyway I never did get a car from them and I have several friends and co-works with similar stories.

For anyone who gets to read this understand this at BARON AUTO MALL they are all the same. They send these salesmen to school to learn how to be shady. You walking in there is like a lamb being sent to the lions den. You have little of no chance. I would never return to any of there locations.

I have a friend who went to the Selden location that had an issue and it took 4 months to correct it. She went to co-sign on a loan and instead her name was the only one on the paper work. THESE PEOPLE ARE SHARKS. Money is thier only goal. In their business they also have a saying there is an ass for every seat. Please don't become one.

Thanks for the story Dee, we are all now more knowledgeable because of your contribution. Thank you for your time!
