I wouldn't have walked away. I would have attempted to use the deceit as a chance to haggle them down. Make them drop their pants on the sale. If they don't budge, then you walk. Don't blame you for being pissed, however.

zkdreads · 06-30-2012, 11:05 PM

with that bs. you shouldve got an EVEN BETTER DEAL! dont understand why companys cant just be honest. they couldve said owners son drove it. sorry about that but heres another $500 off. SOMETHING. we will throw in an oil change coupon. SOMETHING! i wouldve walked away AND DEMANDED for gas money lol

Name the dealer on here and call GM and complain. 1/3 of the dealers were closed down a few years ago, maybe these guys should've been on that list...

mcbeth15 · 06-30-2012, 11:10 PM

You absolutely did the right thing. Don't settle for anything less than what you want. It's your money to spend as you wish. But do others a favor and let GM know exactly what happened and how you feel. I'm sure they don't want dealers like that representing them. It's just not good business.

swagled · 06-30-2012, 11:10 PM

I agree with the others. The dealership owner had an unprofessional attitude towards his inventory. You probably would have become aggravated at another stage of your interactions there during the sale closing, or in warranty service.

I honestly wish there was a way that consumers could go pick up their vehicle right from the factory and not have to deal with some of these shady dealers

5ohcamaro · 06-30-2012, 11:14 PM

always go with your gut feeling. sucks you drove 5 hours to get there but thats a lot of money that would be on the line. i would of done the same thing my friend.

doubletap407 · 06-30-2012, 11:18 PM

You were totally right in being mad and walking away! Wait for the right one you wont be sorry !

Mikey193 · 06-30-2012, 11:20 PM

Nah you didn't, but there really was a big camaro and corvette show in St Charles they weren't lying lol

Wantconvertible · 06-30-2012, 11:32 PM

I would have walked also

Call Becky get one ordered and shipped

ls3ss · 06-30-2012, 11:34 PM

I'll bet that those were 300 very hard miles, and if you measured the tread there would be some missing. I wouldn't want my care broken in that way.

angie7 · 06-30-2012, 11:37 PM

Thats ridiculous! I dont blame you at all for walking away.

ShowSStopper · 06-30-2012, 11:39 PM

I would have walked for sure. Any time a sports car gets loaned out "for a few days" to someone who truly doesn't care what happens to it, it's a bad idea to then turn around and by said car.

Good call. And I think you reacted the same way I would have. No way I'm buying that car.

jkemp16 · 06-30-2012, 11:45 PM

I bought my car pre-owned from their Castle GMC dealership. The people over there were pricks so I decided to start having it serviced at Castle Chevy. While the service dept is OK (only have gotten a couple oil changes)...the salesmen are absolute pricks that act like you're bothering them when asking questions about a vehicle. Unreal...
