Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the pricing and financing process didn’t feel as transparent as it should have—that’s not the experience we strive to provide. We’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and help bring clarity to what happened. Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to Jared Diveley at jared@lakelandvw.com if you'd like to discuss this further.
