Bait & Switch? - Greywethr
WARNING! Do NOT do business with Faulkner dealerships on the Carlisle Pike! I called last evening and made an appointment to drive an SUV today at 2:00. I got an email from dealer at 1:46 saying he's looking forward to doing business with me. I got there at 2:04-ish. I spoke with saleswoman, she took down my information, including what I was looking for, what features made me choose that particular SUV. I filled her in and then we went to look at it. I found a few minor issues, but no deal breakers, so I asked to take it for a drive. She even mentioned that I obviously did my research. We went inside and she left to find the keys. She returned with new salesman and said he'll be taking care of me, because she had clients come in asking for her. He then told me that the car was just sold. REALLY? How can I receive an email at 1:46, show up at 2:04 for my 2:00 appointment, and the SUV be sold, when is was not even test driven, because the hood was still cold, and covered in non-evaporated rain? It's no coincidence that it's been sitting on their lot for almost a month, but someone comes in at the exact same time I did to buy that particular vehicle. Yea right! So they probably lied so they can sell it to someone that will pay full price instead of haggle. Please spread the word.
