Don't bother calling first to set up a test drive, they will sell the car from under you for a faster sale! My husband and I went to go purchase a used Jeep on the lot that I saw online. I first, contacted the dealership, made sure it was available, told them we were a cash buyer and on our way to test drive. The salesman gave us some info on it and told me they would give it a rinse and it would be waiting when we got there. 25 minutes later I received a text message from a salesman, Mike H. they sold the car to someone else when we were 10 minutes away. When I asked 'what?
How does this happen?', he gave an excuse, when he should have at least called me personally and apologize. What they should have done was hold the car since we were going out of our way to drive down just for that car and we had done our due diligence, confirmed it was available and confirmed we were on our way cash in hand. I mean when they tell you, yes it is here and it can be yours, that's what you expect; not have it sold from under you in 25 minutes, and not a passive aggressive text saying we can't stop someone from buying it but, we have another one that is more money available; which sounded like a bait and switch to us. Well, they lost a customer, I will be sharing my experience and never buy from them.
