My wife and I came in two weeks ago to look at a 2016 certified Honda HRV which had been advertised. It had been on the page for awhile. We agreed we would purchase nothing that day. We were pretty impressed with the car, and the price was good, though it had some scratches on the rear corner and other minor cosmetic issues which I thought might give room to wiggle on the price. It drove well and we decided to revisit it.
Yesterday, we looked on the website and saw that it was still there. I called the dealership, and spoke with salesman Shoaib Gauba. He confirmed my name and phone number and found in their records where I had driven that particular HRV. I asked if it was still available, my wife and I would like to come in about in. In fact, we were coming in to purchase it. We have cash in the bank, and outstanding credit even if we did not. He said to ask for him when we arrived, and after I told him that this would be 49 minutes, he sent a text.
We arrived, and he asked what we were interested in. By way of negotiation, I mentioned the minor cosmetic issues and the fact that the car had been on the lot for some weeks. He immediately tried to divert us to a black HRV which we had never heard of.
We said that we weren t interested in a black car in Texas we quite liked the blue one. He sighed and told us that another salesman was closing a deal on the HRV with another couple. He gestured to a nice couple speaking Arabic with a dealer.
I was put out. We had driven 49 miles one way, and called first, and he couldn t be bothered to check that the keys were checked out for a test ride?!?
He said that he had only found out five minutes before. And could he show us another car?
(No.)
I understand that ineptitude is a lot more likely than iniquity, something felt shady about this. Or at least inconsiderate.
He asked us to wait. We waited ten minutes.
The manager came out and said they had done nothing wrong.
So, you call and say that you re coming out to get a car that s been sitting on the car lot for weeks, and it sells before you can arrive.
Very well.
I hope that is the way that they can do business. They can continue doing business without my money.
