I found a Toyota I liked there at a decent price on the internet. I went for a test drive and dealt with a pleasant salesman. The car was quite scratched up, so he said there was a guy who comes guy every Wednesday who touches up the car, and they would take care of it if I were interested in the car. After that I put off buying a car as I got busy.
A few weeks later, the same guy calls me on a Friday and says they will sell the car at a wholesale auction on Monday, but they would rather sell it to a customer than wholesale it. So I should come get it if I wanted a ""screaming deal"" on the car.
So I go in on Sunday, planning to buy it. They wouldn't come down on the price any. I mentioned that the original salesman said they would paint over the scratches. (This salesman wasn't there this day) This guy, the internet sales manager, says no. Then the sales manager comes out and, with quite an attitude, and says they won't do it.
I didn't do it, not so much because of the money, but because of the attitude and the fact that I clearly can't trust these guys. The said they planned to sell it at the wholesale auction last Monday, and, as of today, Sunday, it is still on their website, so the either haven't bothered to take it down, or they weren't being honest about planning to sell it.
