Shady and deceptive practices — management misrepresented

Shady and deceptive practices — management misrepresented Kansas law to devalue my trade, and the sales team doubled down instead of making it right. Visited this dealership twice and was ready to buy a 2025 Palisade Calligraphy if we could get close on numbers. During the trade-in evaluation, manager Josh “Jr” told me Kansas law required replacing tires over 5 years old before resale and used that to justify taking $1,000 off my trade value — then said he was “doing me a solid” by only deducting $500. I later checked KSA 8-1742a and confirmed there is no such law — it only prohibits selling unsafe or damaged tires, not based on age. This wasn’t a new salesperson making a mistake; this was a manager who should know better. Bailey kept pushing the same bad numbers in text messages even after I made it clear I wasn’t interested unless they could meet my offer. If they have the gall to lie about made-up laws to defraud trade value, what else are they lying to customers about? When I brought this up, they admitted it wasn’t true but scoffed it off as a misspeak. For a $50k+ purchase, I expected honesty and transparency. Instead, I left questioning how many other customers have been told the same thing and had their trades undervalued. Maybe it’s something the Kansas Attorney General’s office should take a closer look at.

They did not disclosed the accurate mileage to me until

They did not disclosed the accurate mileage to me until when I arrived to sign papers. I was not happy. They gave me 10 oil changes free to make up for it. They were very patient with me 🤔 but they could not match my warranty coverage that another dealer in Wisconsin gave me for longer miles and years. Oh well maybe next time 😉

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We apologize for any frustration caused by the mileage disclosure timing and appreciate your patience throughout the process. We're glad we could offer the complimentary oil changes as a way to make things right. We understand how important warranty coverage is, and while we couldn't match the other dealer's offer this time, we hope to have the opportunity to better meet your needs in the future. Thanks again for your feedback and for considering us!

We have purchased vehicles for 30 plus years from Laird

We have purchased vehicles for 30 plus years from Laird Noller. We were surprised that there is now a random fee of $1500 kind of just because. There were some possible benefits, but conditions that applies. We were planning to pay cash and were told that we couldn’t do that. The loan was financed through Wells Fargo at over 7 per cent which I thought was very high, especially since we didn’t want the loan to begin with. With the exception of the finance person all of our interactions were fine and the service department is always ok.

I almost gave up on Hyundai‘s due to the Topeka service.

I almost gave up on Hyundai‘s due to the Topeka service. It’s just not very good and I was losing confidence in the car. After going to the Lawrence location I feel very confident that I could both purchase and service my car there
