Bait and Switch
So I now hate Green Toyota on. Today I was ready to buy my new car: a 2005 Solara Convertible. I checked it out yesterday, got a price quote, and then went back this afternoon with my dad. We took it for a test drive, really liked it, and went in to buy it. While waiting for them to come back with how much my car was going to be for trade in, the sales guy comes back out and says, "I made a mistake, that price I quoted you is for a different car, a 2006 hardtop. You're car is $6,000 more" My dad and I were shocked, and I was pissed. All ready to buy then they say that. So i'm already very pissed, and I go to grab my keys (they took my car out to get an idea of the value) and I hear the manager guy finish a sentence, "Well, they should have known the price was wrong." Yeah, I did know the price, and the first price they quoted was a little under blue book value which is expected since this was a 2005 with 29,000 miles already and a few scratches to the paint. The "new" price is 4 grand over blue book. I did my reasearch, thought it was a good deal, all ready to buy, and then BAM, "sorry that's not the price, you should have know that, you idiot". screw them. My dealer was a nice guy who actually liked car shopping with, and probably just made a honest mistake, but screw his boss, his attitude and Green Toyota on Wabash.
And I was already to say bye to my baby too.....
In other news, my grandma rules, got to talk to her for about an hour to day. Love her. And Amanda rules for putting me in a better mood. Dinner time, work Sat night, come visit.

Sorry about the car!
I also hate the Green dealorship. My parents love that huge place in Talorville, if there are any cars you think you would like out there!
My folks bought in Taylorville for years, as well. Go to the Chevy dealer by Meijer- tell them you know my dad. They bought a Camaro and Corvette from the same guy on the same day. Maybe he will give you a fleet discount :)
My family has been buying from Heritage Chevrolet in Auburn for about 15 years...they joke about getting a punchcard! They don't have a lot on the lot but the owner is always going to auctions and stuff so they can get you anything you want...just call Earnie and tell him what you need! I will never buy a car from a dealership in Springfield because almost all of them have tried to screw me everytime I have tried. Earnie is the best and you will most likely talk to the owner too...I can't remember his name but his wife is Kay Diamon, the principal at Grant Middle School.
