I found the vehicle I wanted online and we spoke numerous - Robert
I found the vehicle I wanted online and we spoke numerous times over the phone to work out the deal—the cost, the money down, and no trade-in (I live in TX, and they knew this), the DEAL. When the day came to travel, they said they didn't want a cashier's check for the down payment, they wanted cash—$18,000. Not really what I wanted to taxi and fly with, but I did it. Then, they called back a few hours later and said they wanted $5,000 on a credit card too, in advance, because someone was looking at the vehicle. I said no, if someone took it, so be it, if I don't get it I don't get it. Just let me know before I fly so I could cancel my flight. They never called and I assume all was fine.
When I arrived, the new price was $5,000 over what we agreed upon. They kept saying, "Well, you didn't have a trade-in," and "There was this rebate thing," and "You don't understand," and blah blah blah. The deal was the deal, and they broke it. Don't trust them! I don't know if they thought since I flew in, they had me, or what, but they changed the deal. I flew back home, out over $1K in flights, Ubers, etc.
They'll probably respond to this, saying I didn't understand or they told me, or whatever. That is not so. If they had, I would not have wasted the money. We discussed the down payment, my pre-financing, and the vehicle price—the deal! Untrustworthy, dishonorable, no-integrity dealership!!!
