I'm from Upstate NY where we do business a certain way. I was a little nervous doing business with a dealership in NYC, Queens no less. They had a VW CC for sale for $8995. I thought to myself "hey, that's a pretty decent price," and decided it might be worth the hassle of buying a car from NYC. I called 3 times, spoke with 4 people, agreed to purchase the car for the price advertised, made arrangements to drive down with a friend (6 hrs) on Saturday to pick up the car, and went to the bank and withdrew the cash. Then, I sold my current vehicle on Craigslist because I thought, "I'm getting a new car in a few days, no sense having two of them."

Today, I get online to get the VIN number so I can work out insurance. I think, "Wow, look at that one for sale, its just like the one I'm buying but $3000 more! " Then I realize it IS my car. Turns out the Charlatans upped the price and didn't bother to tell me. They were going to let me enjoy the rude shock once I was a few hundred miles into the trip. When I called, I was rushed through with an excuse and given a number of a manager to call. Bait and switch at its finest. Won't be buying the car. BUYERS FROM OUT OF TOWN BE VERY VERY CAREFUL. Do not set anything else in motion until you physically own the car because these people will hang you out to dry. Don't sell your own vehicle in advance while relying on these people to act with integrity. They will not.
