Asal Motors

1 star for presentation. At first glance ASAL motors looks like a high end car dealer. A lot of cars to choose from. If you spend enough time on their lot looking at these cars and test driving you will see there is something wrong with every car. Bad tires, Engine check lights, broken shaft, bent frame and more. They will rush through the document signing as they don’t want you to see the transaction will cost you $ 10,000 more than what the car is listed for. Also, your deposit goes in their pocket. Doesn’t show up as a deduction. I know this dealer has been reported to the Attorney General and DMV. I don’t think they will be in business much longer. The owners will probably be behind bars. Go to Bergen Car Company if you want an honest price and great car.

NO, not one STAR, NO STAR!!!
If this is the same Asal Motors which is on Patterson Avenue in East Rutherford, THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN! These guys are the sleaziest of the sleazy! Honestly, you would have to be a fool to fall for their fees and financing. I went to buy an $ 8,000 car that would end up costing me a total of $ 15,440 at the termination of my 4 year lease! That is sick! Then i got up to leave politely and he, of course, said wait, let me see what i could do… in one minute he saved me a whopping $ 1,000 off that total and i just out of curiosity asked, how he got that number… He answered with a sleazy, slick smile in his fancy watch and suit, «my magic». Thank you Hodini, I’m out of here. Wasted a long ride and an hour there. His true magic was in turning $ 8,000 into $ 15,440! I’m no math wizard but these guys were the worst.

todos eso que bienen del oriente son unas ratas que infectan al continente americano obvio que son ladrones o ratas pantioneras una bola de ecuases sela tiran que sabentodo bola de ratas apestosas que chinguen su madre

So I went to the Asal Motors in Newark, but I assume they’re owned and run by the same people because they tried to run the same scam on me that other reviews noted. They said there was no lemon law warranty (in violation of NJ law), I couldn’t take it to a mechanic for an independent inspection, and I’d have to pay 2000 bucks for a «required» warranty policy (also illegal), 995 bucks for «dealer prep fee», 395 documentation fee, 375 tags and registration. These are all either complete BS or absurdly inflated. I just stood up and walked out. Then 30 minutes later they tried to call me, presumably to try and make a deal, but there’s no way I’d buy from such shady scammers.

PLEASE READ!!!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALER.
Unfortunately I looked up this dealer’s reviews after my horrible experience, but I fully agree with the other 2 negative comments. This dealer is a bunch of crooks trying to scam people out of their money and time. Below is an in-​depth explanation of my experience if you would like to see why I was so dissatisfied with this business.
Drove three hours with the intention of purchasing a vehicle of theirs I found online. The car was exactly what I had in mind and the price looked fantastic ($ 14,999). After test driving the vehicle, I sat down with their sales rep Victor to talk numbers. He began what turned out to be a large & expensive list of «fee’s» that they add:
1. Dealer fee: $ 995 (delivery, transportation, etc.)
2. Documentation fee: $ 395
3. Tags & such: $ 375
These fee’s already added over $ 1,700 to the price of the car, which is roughly at $ 16,700 now. Mind you, this does not include state tax or finance fee’s. So then we began the long, dull credit process. (Side note: I had successfully applied for 2 other vehicles around the same price range, unfortunately those cars were not for me; they were about $ 350/​month with 0 down)
After waiting roughly 4 hours for their «finance» guy to get an answer from the «bank», I sat down with them for the most confusing, sketchy dialogue. First thing the sales rep tells me is that I have to make a down payment of $ 2,500 to be approved. I asked some basic questions:
–what is the interest rate?
–what will monthly payments be?
–what bank is this through?
The sales rep did not have an answer for any of the questions. I then waited another 30 minutes and eventually sat down with their «finance» guy. He told me my payments would be $ 440/​month with a $ 2,500 down payment over a 60 month period with a 10% interest rate. I asked what the final, TOTAL amount would be for the car, he said $ 20,995. $ 440/​month for 60 months comes out to $ 26,400+$ 2,500(down payment) = $ 28,900. That is $ 8,000 more than what he told me. I told him the numbers did not add up, so he said let me work on it and see if I can get you a better rate.
15 minutes later, he told me he worked up a better deal:
$ 376/​month
$ 3,000 down
7.9% interest
60 months
60 months of making $ 376 payments is $ 22,560 + $ 3,000 = $ 25,560 for the car. So a $ 15,000 car is going to end up costing me $ 25,560 over 5 years. Again he told me the final, TOTAL price of the car (everything included) would be $ 20,995. At this point, I grabbed my paperwork, said good day sir and was on my way.
I wasted an entire day with these crooks. To this moment I still have no idea what «bank» they were going through. Unfortunately, they have a nice fleet of used cars but please stay away from these people. The people that run this company are dishonest and I really don’t know how they are in business. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.

They’re a bunch of liars. I dealt with Rich. I was interested in a 2004 Volkswagen that they listed online for $ 4995. When I got there they told me that price was only for people who bought a warranty package which started at $ 995. Then they told me they had to charge over $ 300 for a documentation fee. Which they couldn’t even register or tittle the car to me because I lived out of state. So they were going to charge me that fee to do nothing more than print out a 20 day temporary license plate. So for a car that was listed on multiple websites for «$ 4,995» would have cost almost $ 7,000 before tax and registration!!! These crooks should be out of business!
