Global Sales & Finance

After a few weeks of shopping many used car lots, this one stood out with red flags.
I called to inquire about a vehicle they have advertised. I first asked about what maintenance and repair history they had on the vehicle. The saleman says «No. I dont have time for that. If you want the truck, come down and look at it. If you show me you want to buy. i can pull ‘all’ that paperwork» So I say the vehicle history is important to me and im driving a long ways, which is why i wanted to check first. The salesman says «No, how do i know you even want this really? You can come down here and.» I cut him off — enough BS…
I say Why would I drive 30 minutes to verify it meets my needs when you can tell me? So i start talking over him and asking specific questions. He starts backpedaling as telling questions get asked.
GUESS WHAT? Turns out the truck was an auction purchase with ZERO history known to them, he knew this. and tried to keep it from me to get me to drive 20 miles to find out the hard way! So ‘ALL the paperwork’ he didnt have time for didnt exist. He was being opportunistic yet rude from the get go — great combo! Once I explained i realized what he was doing, I told him i wasnt interested anymore and would look elsewhere. He couldnt have cared less. He was still trying to talk his way back out of the lies I threw back in his face.
So I hope that trying to waste MY TIME was worth the effort. You didnt get a sale, but you got your some well deserved recognition!
After dealing with many small, hungry lots lately… i highly recommend AVOIDING this one. The dude had his own interests in mind, even for a small used car lot guy. and wasnt concerned how it effected me in the least. BEWARE
