Car/Truck Buying Drama

Rock Steady · 05-31-2005, 09:31 PM

We are somewhat in limbo. The title is in both our names and my wife left to get and serve dinner. When it was finally time to sign the next wave of documents, only I could sign. The dlr & I agreed that she would sign when we picked up the truck.

This dealership was bought by new management about 8 months ago. They are trying to project a higher-integrity image than the last owners, who were true sleaze balls. They have a 10 point buying program which includes 3 days or 300 miles you can return the vehicle for full refund no questions asked. So, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for now and assume that they will get me a similar vehicle soon.

In the Silicon Valley, you don't get a break on the price of cars. I'm not willing to go 500 miles away and drive one back to save the money. This dlr is about one mile from my home. I went to two other closest Toyota dlrs and they wouldn't even sell me a manual tranny and wanted more $ for more loaded trucks in inventory. They laugh at you if you think you're going to mess up their supply line with a custom order.

I think LumberJim was off on Sunday. Not if he were here. This dlr is open until 8pm six days a week and closes at 6pm on Sundays.

I guess I should have taken custody of the truck on Saturday night.
