Replying to: ten_year_man (Jan 17, 2007 4:11 pm) As far as negotiating that number if I were your salesman and you came to me after i got the car you wanted and waited along with you for it then you wanted to negotiate again with me for a lower price I would tell you to go pound sand. My word is my word and I expect my customers to live by the same mantra. If we agree on a price that is the price. If you only knew how many customers I have thrown out of my dealership for trying to negotiate an internet price we already agreed upon you would not even believe me. If you signed the Buyers order that is the price you agreed to pay so please go and pay it when your car arrives. |

Wow, I don't like Earnhardt at all. I lived acorss town from them, called them and asked "Do you have a fit on the grounds I can test drive" and they said yes, they do. I said I'll be there in an hour. I was there in a half hour, and they said "oh sorry, we just completed the paper work on that one, so we can't let you drive it. Is there any other car..." I walked out right there.

Replying to: ten_year_man (Jan 23, 2007 4:32 pm) That is the way of it. I am sure that if they took your deposit they told you the selling prioce. there is no such thing as "give me 500 dollars and you have the first opportunity to negotiate for the car." That is not the way it works. A deposit means that the car is yours when it arrives. I am 100% sure they are not going to tie up one of their high in demand Fits on a "I promise to come in and negotiate when the car comes in so here is 500 dollars" something is very fishy with your side of this story.

Replying to: hondaguy67 (Jan 23, 2007 11:51 am) What about if you get mailed a Buy Order as an email attachment, but it's not signed by you or the dealer (because it's email). That's what happened in my case. I suppose we were each counting on the other one honoring the "contract"--in my case it worked out. But I could have really been screwed. I wonder how this kind of document will be handled as internet purchasing becomes more common. |

Replying to: ciara1 (Jan 17, 2007 9:06 am) (Edited to add: the dealer seemed perfectly comfortable with both refund clauses we requested. He said that's the way they normally operate anyway, so they didn't mind at all putting it into writing.) This was the same experience I had.  And, mine is on the way too.
