I will just state the facts in chronological order:
April 4, at 5:45 PM: I called the dealership on a Lexus LS 600hL they just posted online for sale and spoke to Elliott. I asked about the car and he said it is still available. I asked if I can put a deposit on the car and if he can hold it for me. He said we are a “first come first serve dealership.” I agreed to the price of the car and asked what he would like me to do next. He said complete the finance application online to get financing for the car. I immediately completed the application.
April 5 at 9:00: Elliott asked me to send over a copy of my driver’s license and insurance card. I sent both over to him right away.
April 5, at 10 AM. I called Elliott to see what rate he can get me for the car as I can get 4.3% at my local bank. He said the information is with the finance manager and that he will get back to me.
April 5 at 12:00: I called Elliott again to see what the financing is looking like. He said I should be next with the finance manager. I was told that the finance manager is busy as they sell a lot of cars.
April 5 at 2:00: I called Elliott again as I have a rental car ready to be picked up one way to Annapolis from Chicago for the next day. (I live in Illinois and would need to transport the car back to Chicago). He told me “I hope the car does not get sold during this process.” I explained to him that if they had the intention of selling the car to someone else, then my credit should not be run. He informed me that they already ran my credit. I said “good, then we should know any minute now.” He assured me he would call me back and even asked me what term I would want on the loan.
April 5 at 4:00: I called Elliott as this is taking far too long. The car should have been purchased by noon today. Elliott did not answer.
April 5 at 6:00: I called and asked to speak to the finance manager. I was sent to Barbara who told me that they ran my credit, I have a 750 credit score, and that I was approved for a 4.125% APR. She further asked if that is acceptable and if I would be using their financing. I said yes.
April 5 at 7:00: I called yet again and now was told they have someone coming in at 9 AM the next day to look at the car locally. ARE YOU KIDDING???? I LOST IT!!! THEY RAN MY CREDIT AND ARE NOW SHOWING THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO SOMEONE ELSE. YET THEY ARE A “FIRST COME FIRST SERVE DEALER.”
I called to speak to the general manager. Not available. I called to speak to the owner. Not available. NO RETURNED CALLS YET.
Additionally, I have already filed a complaint with the BBB and the Maryland Attorney General. I am also contemplating legal action.
NOW, here is what I believe happened:
I believe that whomever is going to be there at 9 AM the next day is a friend of an owner, manager, or employee of the dealership. I don’t care if you don’t want to sell me the car for whatever reason, but HOW DARE YOU RUN MY CREDIT THEN WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO COME SEE THE CAR!!!!!!!
