the drama never stops with bike or car dealers...
here we are with the economy in the dumps, and you would think when a legitimate buyer with AAA+++ credit comes into the dealership and goes through the motions, jumps through their silly hoops about price ,options etc..of which we have all done time and time again,, that they (dealer) would almost HUG you after you sign on the dotted line....right.???
WEll NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Way JOSE!! as the saying goes..
so we agreed on trade,price,options.....he tells me,,"oh yeah i have 6 with what you want on stock, some with cruise some without" (i wanted cruise)
I get home, wait 1 day,, nothing till late on 2nd day as he had told me, i will call you when we are ready. i get a call late in the day,,oh we are still looking for your bike, ( i say to him..i thought you told me you had it in stock? ) he starts to change the conversation we had, and says i will have it and call you later,, and we will come with a truck/trailer and pick up your bike and take you back to dealership and we can do it all at once. fine i told him. thats what i told you sunday..end of chat....
I go out at about 5 pm.....my OL calls me.....the dealer called and is still looking for your bike, he MAY have one on the EAST COAST of fla... !!
i almost flipped....in anycase,, what do i do with this situation??
I did not leave any bikes or dough with them, there was something of an agreement i signed about sale,,but not thinking it would get like this i didnt look at it carefully, thinking this was an easy and done deal!! should i tell him forget it? any thought,...i am mellowing in my old age,, usually i would have a hair trigger and tell them to forget it,,,some input, thanks all..ryd:hii
