Lie by omission.

Lie by omission.

I noticed a low mileage 2011 Mustang GT on Autotrader. The photos looked great with no damage evident. I gave Future a call and the salesman stated the car was in great shape. We went back and forth on Friday afternoon and agreed to a price on Saturday morning. I gave them a credit card deposit to hold the car since I lived over 6 hours away in Southern California. We rented a car and fought Saturday traffic through LA and arrived at the dealership at around 6 pm.

While inspecting the car we noticed a dent in the passenger side front corner. It was at an area where three design bends met and I was unsure if a dent specialist would be able to repair it. I let them know I still wanted the car but needed the dent fixed by them or for them to pay for it with someone in SoCal. They offered $100 off the car for the repair which would not cover the costs. For all I know, the reason they haven't fixed the dent after having the car for a couple months is that the fender needs to be replaced.

After dealing with five different salesman playing the typical "let me check with my manager game" they would not budge on price and just kept repeating what a great deal I was getting. We mentioned I negotiated the price based on the car being in great condition with no damage and one of the salesman stated "if we told you about the dent you wouldn't have drove up here."

Well he was right. If I had known the car had that dent, I would have negotiated a price that reflected the cost to repair it or would not have driven up there to begin with. I wouldn't of spent $400 renting a one way car rental, paying for gas, getting a hotel room, and wasting 13 hours of round trip driving to Sacramento.

So if you see a 2011 Mustang GT Racer Red with 8,000 miles there is a small dent on the passenger front fender near the front light. Please consider that in your offer.

By the way despite me telling them I was paying cash I received a report from the credit agency that they ran my credit twiceLie by omission.
