Haaaa love this dj rabbi energy
and??? please don’t leave us hangin’….another djrabbi
deal??
I just spent five days trying to lease a car through this company, and I’ve had more transparent negotiations buying sunglasses at a gas station.
They pitch me a lease deal on a 52k MSRP Traverse. Sounds great. Then immediately send over a broker agreement asking for the full broker fee upfront. Nothing builds confidence like “pay us in full before we prove this deal exists.”
After some back and forth, we settle on a $150 deposit — which I accidentally send as $200. That part was my mistake. Apparently I was the only one over-delivering in this transaction.
From there, it’s delays, vague updates, and “we’re working on it” energy. Eventually I’m told the car we negotiated is “sold.” Interesting timing. But don’t worry — they’re going to find a replacement.
Neil adds me to a group text with someone introduced as the dealership sales guy, who — according to the internet — works for a completely different company. Nothing screams credibility like a surprise character introduction mid-season.
After a suspenseful waiting game that felt less like business and more like reality TV, they announce they’ve “found the exact spec.” Then they send over the numbers.
Here’s where it gets impressive.
The entire deal — the pricing, the structure, the terms — was not what was originally presented. Not a small math error. Not a typo. The whole thing was different. The numbers that got me in the door magically shifted once paperwork entered the chat.
When I called it out, I got the classic: “It was a mistake.” Followed by reminders that they are the “highest rated lease broker” and that they “want to earn my business.” Which is fascinating, because usually earning someone’s business involves honoring what you pitched them in the first place.
What could have been resolved with a sincere, direct apology and an attempt to make it right turned into a polished explanation of why the deal I was promised was never actually real. No accountability. Just a soft apology and a shrug.
If this sounds like what’s happening to you, save yourself the five-day masterclass in frustration. A deal that changes after you commit isn’t a deal — it’s bait with paperwork.
Thanks, Neil and Gamar. Truly educational.
Let me walk you through my five-day journey into what I thought was a lease deal.
It started with a 52k MSRP Traverse and numbers that made sense. Straightforward. Professional. Promising.
Then came the broker agreement asking for the full broker fee upfront. Because nothing says “we’re confident in this deal” like collecting your money before the deal is actually secured.
We negotiate that down to a $150 deposit. I accidentally send $200. At the time I thought I was just being careless. Turns out I was just matching the general theme of financial confusion.
After that, communication turns into a slow drip of updates. The original vehicle we discussed? “Sold.” Convenient. But they assure me they’ll find the exact same spec and honor the deal.
I get looped into a group text with someone introduced as the dealership sales contact. A quick search shows he appears connected to a different company entirely. At this point I’m less concerned about the car and more curious about who works for whom.
Eventually, they present the “replacement” and send over numbers. And this is where the curtain lifts.
The structure of the deal — pricing, terms, everything that made it appealing — is no longer what was pitched. Not a slight adjustment. Not a market shift. A completely different arrangement. The offer that got me to engage simply evaporated once it was time to formalize it.
When I point it out, I’m told it was “a mistake.” I’m reminded they’re highly rated. I’m assured they want to earn my business. But earning business usually starts with honoring what you originally proposed.
Instead of a direct, accountable response — something along the lines of, “We misrepresented this and we’ll fix it” — I receive a carefully measured apology and a polite version of “this is what it is.”
Here’s the bottom line: if a deal transforms the moment you move forward, that wasn’t a deal. That was a hook.
If you’re considering working with them, proceed carefully. Five days is a long time to learn something that should’ve been clear on day one.
Imagine if you asked ChatGPT to find you a car instead of this essay slandering the broker
If you enjoy suspense thrillers, misdirection, and plot twists, you’ll love trying to lease a car through this company.
I was presented with what sounded like a straightforward lease on a 52k MSRP Traverse. Numbers looked solid. Conversation felt productive. Then, before anything concrete was finalized, I’m sent a broker agreement requesting the full broker fee upfront. That’s always comforting — paying in full before the product materializes.
We eventually agree on a $150 deposit. I accidentally send $200. That was on me. Ironically, it turned out to be the most accurate number sent during the entire process.
From there, communication slows down. The original vehicle we negotiated is suddenly “sold.” Of course it is. But not to worry — they’ll “locate the same spec.”
I get added to a group text with someone introduced as the dealership sales contact, though publicly he appears affiliated with a completely different company. At this point, I’m less in a lease transaction and more in a crossover episode.
After days of buildup, they announce they’ve secured the deal. Paperwork comes through — and that’s when reality steps in. The pricing structure, terms, and overall deal are not what was originally presented. Not a minor adjustment. Not market fluctuation. The entire premise of the deal shifted.
When questioned, the response was that it was “a mistake.” I was reminded they’re highly rated and eager to earn my business. That would carry more weight if the original offer hadn’t dissolved the moment it was time to formalize it.
What should have been simple — acknowledge the error, take responsibility, and attempt to correct it — turned into explanations and a partial apology that felt more procedural than sincere. No effort to make it whole. Just, essentially, “That’s not happening.”
If you’re considering working with them and any of this sounds familiar, be cautious. A deal that changes once you’re engaged isn’t a deal — it’s a preview.
Five days later, lesson learned.
