Do not trust their used car manager. North Central...

Do not trust their used car manager. North Central staff sold from under me a used 2006 MX-5 Miata for which we had a handshake deal. The short version is that I test drove the car on Saturday, Nov 26, 2016, communicated by email with Melvin Anderson on Nov 28, and then struck a deal to buy the car on Nov 29 by phone and email with sales manager, Chris Marchant (sp?). I have been traveling on business in Ohio for that week with my military veteran hiring business. Chris told me that they were fixing a tail light cover and removing dings this morning for my car.

Yesterday afternoon, when we were concluding the deal by phone, I asked Chris if he needed a credit card or deposit check. He said that my wife could stop by any time tomorrow with the full $10,663 and we d do the TTL etc. on Friday when I picked up the car. I asked if he needed a certified or cashier s check and he said that a personal check was fine. He had previously asked if I had received his email and I told him that I had not (I checked my spam filters and found nothing).

When my wife showed up this afternoon with the check, per Chris direction, she was told that the car was being sold to someone else. This afternoon,the sales manager said there was no deal because I had not paid for the car. But Chris had told me that any time tomorrow was good. That does not sound like a better get the check in ASAP before I sell it to someone else.

This is an inexcusable breach of contract and reflects poorly on NCF s team and business. The company is either logistically sloppy, unethical or both.
