Unless this dealer has a good reputation.   FWIW, if the dealer has a bad reputation, sleaziness is sleaziness. You don't have to grade it.   jmonroe

Replying to: alamocity (Nov 02, 2009 5:55 pm) When the sales rep met with me he stated oops, he had looked at the wrong VIN number while we had talked on the phone and vehicle was no longer available   OOPSIE! Sounds like an honest mistake. These things happen all the time, what with hundreds of cars in inventory... cars being moved around all the time. Give the sales guy the benefit of the doubt and invite him out for a cold one. Replies to this message: alamocity (Nov 03, 2009 7:52 am) jipster (Nov 03, 2009 11:03 am)

Knowing that sales dude, he'd probably drink a bunch of beer, excuse himself to use the restroom, then run off and stick you with the bill.   The same thing happened to me many moons ago with a Honda Ody. Before I could get out, " Do you have a....", the salesmen replies, "yeah, we got that on the lot. Come on down, I'll jump start it and we'll take a test drive". I get to the dealership after a long exhausting drive and "OOPSIE", it's already been sold. But, I was offered a much more expensive van at a really good price.
