I hear they are impossible to find, but my local Volvo store has 2 of them collecting dust on the lot. I guess a college town in the South isn’t the ideal market?
Likely not - Volvo stores are hamstrung on how they can sell them too.
I hired Benedetto to find a Ghibli lease a couple months ago (April). We weren’t able to get any good deals in the car in the three months since I hired him. I don’t mind being patient and waiting to get a LEASSHACKR Deal but the only issue I have with him is the lack of communication. Several times I’ve had to text and call multiple times to just get a response. I wish you would communicate better with your customers.
A Maserati isn’t the easiest thing to lease hack but I do expect that you be better with communication. I shouldn’t have to text you and wait 4 days for a response if I i hired you for a job. I wish you the best of luck Ben, but I’d like my refund.

Didn’t he drop you a few days ago and told you that he will refund your retainer (I think)? And now you are posting like it was you who decided to end your never ending car search with him. Bravo!

Why should he even have to refund you? You’re the most indecisive person I’ve ever “met”…2+ years now and can’t ever make up your mind

To Uranus: I don’t know. He hasn’t responded to my texts or call back in 4 days.
To Max G: I’ve been decisive on what I want when I paid him over 3 months ago. I gave him one car that I wanted which was a Ghibli. I have not got a concrete offer in those 3 months. I honestly should’ve hopped on what Brett got in Orlando but I was hoping Ben could get a better deal. I’ll do this myself and guarantee I’ll have a car by end of August. I’ll make sure to post the pics here.
Update: I got a refund from Ben. He refunded me before I even asked for it as well.

So it’s important to frame this
I see a post made by AJ , discussing how we’ve been working and he haven’t received ANY quotes.
Now perhaps quotes means something different to everyone, but in my world, that means verbally discussing deals from stores and providing in-writing details before you head to the store.
I can’t imagine how that’s true since we’ve talked about Florida deals, Georgia deals, North Carolina deals, South Carolina deals, hell we even talked about maybe doing something in Chicago from Zig Ziegler Maserati since I know that store well.
I text, that asking AJ to get on the phone. He is not available so I leave him a voicemail discussing that, how I do not like how this process is playing out nor that his voicing his displeasure on LH as opposed to me.
I tell him I will be refunding him and wish him the best.
Have I responded to Aj since that post - no, I have not. I’ve been in/out of the office for the last few days.
I should have returned AJ’s call.
However - grandstanding on Leasehackr is exactly how we got here and it’s only fitting that you’re posting about a refund, that I processed the day of, that you were told about in the voicemail, as if you didn’t hear that directly from me days ago.
Communication is a two way street.
And as I said on the phone AJ, I hope you do find that unicorn deal on the Maserati. I just wasn’t having luck in finding it.
Lastly, I see @EdiggZz liked you post and he is also someone I have on retainer. I’d also encourage you to shoot me a call when you’re available.
I’ll be available on the phone all day today.

Also, this would be the post that got my attention,
Which you also apparently updated, after listening to said voicemail.
Ben, whenever I have spoken to you on the phone you have been nothing but profesional. I appreciate all your efforts and I have nothing bad to say about you except your lack of communication.
That post I posted a couple days ago wasn’t malicious and I don’t feel like you should’ve took it that personal where you left me that voicemail saying you will refund me. If saying that “my broker has been working for 3 months and I haven’t gotten a deal yet” is offensive to you then idk what to say. I didn’t mean for you to take offense as that was the truth.
Again, you have been nothing but profesional on the phone and I wish you the best of luck. But don’t take offense to all the little things.

I’m not going to get into a sparring match on LH about who is right.
I don’t agree, end of story.

Ahh…I see what you did there. You guaranteed the end of August, just not WHAT August.
Well played

Only after he notified you on July 4th that he was dropping you as a client and issuing a refund and not being able to get you on the call. Why should he waste more time on you? That was the end and he didn’t have to respond to you.

Common courtesy. But I guess he lacks that.
So, what is it? You don’t seem to have the ability to make up your mind, and not only with your car search.

I hired him to find me a new Volvo.
Two emails, two phone conversations, 20 minutes maximum of my time: $335/mo for 24 months zero out of pocket.
Easiest deal ever.
Thanks so much Ben.
F the hater.
