I traveled from Brooklyn, NY to purchase a car at Grand Prix Subaru. I was told by the receptionist that the vehicle was in stock; and after some fumbling around (apparently the car wasn t in the system) it was located, but not inspected - thus unfit for road use.

After finalizing the price and confirming my payment, the manager(?) confirms that there wasn t anything that they could do about getting the vehicle inspected since they d already sent their service staff home for the night, and sent me packing.

Obviously I wasn t expecting a service member to show up and inspect the vehicle, but how about keeping your vehicles inspected? This may or may not be the case, but I can only assume that in an effort to save money, you don t keep car inspections current for cars in your used inventory. If that s the strategy, maybe match your showroom hours with the service center. Also, don t make appointments with someone if you can t actually sell a vehicle.
