Jeri BULLIES Girls!!! Dont buy from here ladies
7-18-2014 Turns out car dealerships DO bully GIRLS!!!! Im 5 feet tall, 115lb & had an insurance check in hand!!! I totaled my almost paid off Escape last month (pile up at 5 mile and telegraph) and decided to take my business to Varsity Lincoln, This transaction has just gone from 0 to boiled over in literally 15 seconds! In the end I have the feeling I am going to get stuck paying for a total repaint on the MKX I JUST purchased??!! Yesterday afternoon right before dealership closing I picked up my Lincoln MKX from Varsity Lincoln in Novi from the service and body shop stay it had to have only two weeks into my ownership. It already needed to have the brakes and roaters redone,as well as paint that was missing from the prevoius owners or while it as on their lot on the front and back of the bumpers, At the original pick up I was told that this would need to be scheduled at the body shop and that I could make an appontment I was told this by Ben my salesman. So I left that Saturday and got onto the freeway to go home... (Thats when I noticed the brakes were pulsing and with the radio off I could hear them too)... on top of that it turns out that my SYNC needed software updating, my dash screen calibrated to work properly when pushing the screen and the button on my stearing wheen adjusted to not blair the radio at random and Im almost positive I got an alignment too because it has stopped pulling. Wait wasn't this all looked over according to the "certified" protection plan that was attached to my new SUV. I was assured that I would be bumper to bumper covered for 6 years and 100,000 miles. You see I had just purchased my MKX on June 23rd of this year (3 weeks ago tomorrow) from a few really nice guys Ben in sales and Jeri in finance. I had a substancial down payment from my last car being totaled and so I was told I could sign over my insurance company check to the dealership and the remainder that was not worked into the deal of the down payment (a little over 300 bucks) would come back to me the following Monday because I had picked up the new SUV on Saturday. OK, so I still dont have the check but that is not even the worst part. Like I said before, I picked it up yesterday at closing of the dealership right at 6, Ben had it ready, washed and interior wiped down and had gotten the floor mats and net for the front and hatch areas that were originally missing.. He explained that they would need to take the bumper off and get it totally redone to not look like it did nd he could get it in but could not get authorization for a rental while this is done and he was gong on vacation so not to call next week but the week after (thats when I figured somethig was fishy) Then I saw the bumper for myself, It looked like black nail polish that I could have done in my own drive way- not only on the bumper but also several spots on the hood. My paint is that metalic fleck rainbow kinda effect, the touch up paint used was gloss black, even I know that is WRONG. They must have noticed how badly it was turning out because they did not even to bother finishig the rest of the chips that needed to be done or the back bumper at all. I drove off, not thrilled at all but what was I going to do, What good would throwing a fit do. Well I got home and showed the work to my significant other and his Mom, they both said that car was going back in the morning and were not very impressed with the four days I had the rental and this was what was returned to me. Heres where the DRAMA starts, This Morning (7-18-14) we drove up to the dealership and Jay went in asking for a Manager so we could show them the work that had been done and get this resolved. A Man came out, being very nice and listened to us tell him what happened, told me to drive around and we would all go talk to Jeri about this so we could expidite the solution today. I was under the impression Jeri knew about this issue already because I was told it was going to be fixed by Ben who said he had it worked out already. We got over to the offices and Jeri came outside with me because I told him I wanted to see if he thought my touch ups were acceptable quality. When we got outside Jay took the lead and started to show him where the mismatched paint had been applied to the front hood and bumper. Jeri got very rude and unprofessional immediately, putting his hand in Jays face and telling Jay that his name was not on this car so he did not have any say in this matter or something to that reguard. Told him to get back in the pasenger side of the car and even insulted his manhood? Then saying that they are "not in the business of painting panels on used cars"... Jay said "so, your not going to do anything for her" Jeri said back "no Im not going to do anything for her" I was then trying to navigate through this intense conversation hopefully to get a fair result and insead Jeri continued to provoke Jay and even went as far as to start stomping through the lot toward Wixom road to physically "fight" with Jay off the dealership property! All because we were unhappy with the hack of a paint job that had come back to us the day before. I turned to the man who brought us over to speak with Jeri and said that this was so rediculous and he was just standing there smiling like he had watched Jeri BULLY people off the lot so many times before that he did not even go after him to attempt to take charge of the matter. He just stood there watching, and when I insisted that I was not leaving without my check AGAIN, he said they would call me later?? I really felt bullied right off the property,Nothing got resolved and Ill likely have to pay out of pocket for my MKx to be repainted elcewhere, This is going to cost me a lot, this is not what I signed up for, I gave them 6000 cash down on this truck and now I have to pay to have it repaired because it now looks worse after leaving the dealership. I am proud of Jay for keeping his cool when such a easy fix got so out of control, I will not however go back to that dealership out of fear of retailation of some kind for just speaking up in the first place. I am telling you this was not the first time that Jeri had been confronted for stuff like this because of how everyone around him acted. While I appreciate him shopping my loan for me so I could better manage my payments monthly, I had no idea he would flip like this when all he had to do was ok my car to be fixed the right way.

Buying Experience
Our buying experience at this dealership was a very pleasant one. Ben Leece the salesman, and Jere Law the GSM of Pre-Owned vehicles both, made my wife and I feel welcomed and comfortable. They were well informed and helpful. I had placed a call to the dealership and Ben had both cars we were interested in, ready for our test drive and inspection upon our arrival.

I'll Be Back
I've been searching for 6 months on Cars.com for a unique CPO Lincoln vehicle.My search let me to the great city of Detroit to Varsity Lincoln in Novi,MI.I live in Charlotte NC so you can imagine buying a car online can be nerve racking,BUT! from my initial interaction with Lisa my fears began to go away.Lisa paired me with Mr. Michael Cash a true gentlemen who has a calming low pressure approach to his craft.Stephen the finance manager got me a good rate and hedged my investment with extended safety for the purchase.In fact the tire care protection already yielded me a savings with a new tire replaced at no out of pocket expense back here at my local dealership in Charlotte.The facilities were state of the art and clean with plenty of snacks in their lounge while we watched their Tigers on the flat screen.i flew in to DTW and Varsity had a fine gentlemen pick me up in a Lincoln and shuttle me to the dealership.They had all my paperwork together soI can get in the road and tackle that 10 hour drive back to Charlotte.The dealership Manager Jere came out and spent time with me during my brief stay in the lounge and even blessed me with paying for my first 3 oil changes back in Charlotte.The overall experience at Varsity Lincoln was 5 star.Heads up te I'll be back either this Winter or Spring for a 13 or 14 CPO MKS 3.5 Ecoboost for the wife.Feel free to call me in December to do it all over again.Detroit is a long way from Charlotte but hey when folks treat you right ,you don't mind the drive.May God bless Detroit,MI and the entire staff at team Varsity.You got a friend in Charlotte,NC. Sincerely Yours, Rev. Kevin A Newman

2013 Ford Taurus SHO
I was in the market for a very specific vehicle, a Black 2013 Taurus SHO. I was in final negotiations with a dealership in Ohio when I saw the exact vehicle show up at Varsity. I stopped in a spoke with Judd about it, he let me drive and look it over. I had to leave town for a week and stopped back in, Judd was on vacation but Jere had me work with Ben to finish off the deal. The experience from start to finish was the best I have ever had purchasing a vehicle. I am now a loyal Varsity Ford customer!

Sets the standard of excellent service
Varsity Lincoln continues to set an extraordinarily high standard for the car purchasing and servicing experience. As a 15 year Varsity customer, I recently purchased a pre-owned MKZ. Everyone from Jere (Sales Manager), to Judd (Sales), to Stephen (Finance Manager) made me feel valued as a Varsity customer by recognizing my loyalty and by taking the time and effort to find out what was important to me in my vehicle selection. I cannot say enough how completely satisfied I am and how highly I recommend the Varsity Lincoln team.

Varsity Lincoln - High Integrity and Great Value
Varsity Lincoln of Novi was a wonderful car buying experience. I spent many weeks searching for a used Ford Expedition - a safe, reliable and stylish SUV that I could use to safely transport my precious cargo - pregnant wife and 2 young daughters. I found several great options available in Metro Detroit but after visiting Varsity Lincoln and meeting with Mike Cash I felt very comfortable with the sales team and product they offered. Having a marketing/service career, I was very pleased by their approach to customers. With a service department I have grown to trust and a sales team that is customer focused and professional I decided to bring my wife and girls up for a test drive. As expected the Expedition we test drove was excellent. Mike Cash and Jere Law went out of their way to ensure that we were getting excellent value for our money. The staff was friendly and open from the General Manager down. Their customer focused approach and integrity is why I decided to buy from Varsity Lincoln. Your time and money is important so if you want to get the most out of both and are looking for a new or used car give Varsity Lincoln a try - you'll be very pleased with your experience.

NOT A HAPPY CAMPER THIS GO ROUND!!!
Let me start by saying that I've purchased 5 vehicles from Varsity! This time though, my experience hasn't met up to the level of customer service that I have come to know and appreciate from Varsity. if I didn't call them to check on the deal, I WOULD'VE NEVER RECEIVED ANY UPDATES!!! Still waiting to find out info! Not sure what's going on at Varsity! I sure wish things would go back to the way they used to be!!!!

Mr. Ellis, I apologize! We know you have been a loyal customer and indeed your business is important to us. I am the customer service manager and I looked into your profile. Honestly, I do not have an explanation as to why your initial contact with us fell through the cracks. I can only tell you we dropped the ball and are very sorry for our error. I reached out to your previous sales rep who will be contacting you shortly. Sincerely, Jennifer McCloskey
Couldnt ask for better service
I would like to thank the wonderful staff at Varsity Lincoln for helping me to get the car of my dreams. From the moment I walked in the door Judd Stevens the salesman and Jere Law the manager were there to assist me with all my questions and concerns. I dont have the best credit but I was able to walk away with a 2013 Lincoln MKS with a great payment and interest rate. Anyone I know who is looking for a car I will be sending them to Judd and Jere so that they can be as happy with their experience as I am with mine.
