I had a great first experience with Ziegler Hyundai, which led me to trust them again—unfortunately, that trust was misplaced. I went in after receiving a letter offering to pay off my current Palisade if I traded it in. I wasn’t planning to trade, but the offer seemed fair.
Instead, I was misled and overcharged. I was pushed toward a 2025 Palisade with 6,500 miles (driven by an employee), presented as a “great deal.” I was shown a discounted price of $51k (brand new was $56k), but it deceptively included standard rebates that weren’t factored into the new vehicle price in their comparison.
I was presented with a table showing prospective payments for each vehicle at different loan terms & interest rates, the salesman HAD ME INITIAL by which vehicle, payment, loan term & interest rate I wanted. I was also told “Z Guard” and “LoJack” protections were included—none of which turned out to be true. The finance rep, Tim, rushed me through paperwork without explanation. I didn’t think much of this because I had already discussed AND INITIALED all of the details with the salesman. I naively assumed this was all in the final paperwork. After reviewing my documents at home, I realized I was charged $55k for a used vehicle (only $1k less than a brand-new one), $3k for my trade (which was supposed to be even), got a higher interest rate than promised, longer loan term, and was billed $3,500 for the z guard & lojack extras that I was told were included.
I contacted the salesman just hours after the transaction and said if this can’t be fixed, I want to return the vehicle.
When I returned to address it, the sales manager, Scott Waller, couldn’t explain the charges and was defensive and dismissive. He told me they can not take the vehicle back, they have no return policy. He literally told me multiple times that he doesn’t understand the paperwork because he doesn’t work in finance and “nobody understands this Wisconsin paperwork.”
After much arguing, frustration and tears, he agreed to cut a $3,500 check (less than half of the >10k I was deceptively charged) —which was promised to be hand delivered in 3-4 weeks. I received it by mail 5 weeks later.
Scott admitted he adds Z Guard and LoJack to “all of my vehicles on the lot” and that he just simply “eats the cost” if you decline it. However, you’re not told you’re being charged for it and it’s already (supposedly) been applied. So beware: you are being charged - $3500 - unless you explicitly refuse these protections that you’re told are “included.”
Bottom line: Read everything. Don’t trust verbal promises. Ask for full breakdowns. And definitely don’t let your female loved ones go to Ziegler Hyundai of Racine alone. I was so proud of myself for doing this by myself and getting a “good deal” only to go home and feel ashamed & disgusted as I realized how badly I was completely taken advantage of and lied to.
