I've been speaking to a salesman at a dealer in another state (5 hours away) for about a month waiting for an in transit truck to buy once it hit the ground.
Well, I got a call yesterday that it was at the dealer and could hold the keys for the day until I got there. I asked about a deposit to hold it, but they said they can't take one on an in transit vehicle.
When I got there, the manager came over and said he had bad news. He said that my salesman didn't tell him that I was driving from out of state for 5 hours, and he sold the vehicle. I asked the salesman and he said manager knew very well that I was coming (lies anyone?) Anyway, they apologized for the "inconvenience" and said I could order one exactly as I wanted for a $3k discount with no deposit down, so I did.
As we were discussing this, I was watching the gentlemen who bought it go get in "his" new truck. I walked out to the truck and told him what happened and was admiring his truck in a friendly manner, and guess who it was.... wait for it..... THE INTERNET SALES MANAGER!!!! WTH, an inside sale that no one knew about and didn't give me the courtesy to call me and tell me it was already sold. And this is supposedly the nation's number 1 dealership for 5 years in a row!
I do have a friend in town that I haven't seen in a couple of years so I did got a nice visit out of the trip!
