salesmen, how difficult can it be??

So I found a #### nice van trailer I wanted to buy, 2004 great Dane 53'x102" air ride with all aluminum wheels, stainless front & stainless doors & it has never had any decals on it. Called on the trailer twice & was told he'd hold it for me, called him again yesterday to tell him I was on my way to come look at it & he said its still here so come on down. I get there 2 hours later to look at the trailer, I walk into his office & tell him I'm here to look at that trailer, he looks at his computer, pauses & then looks at me & says "sorry but someone from our Des Moines location sold it yesterday afternoon". To say I was pissed is a massive understatement. Sorry for the rant but my blood is still boiling over this one.

 

The dealer was midstates utility in Sioux Falls, SD. Needless to say I'm never stepping foot in there again.

 

I kinda thought something was up when we walked out on the lot to look at a different trailer that had decals on the side, rusted rear door frame, beat up interior & all steel wheels, when I asked how much he told me $9,000. I said no F'n way is this beat up piece of crap worth the same money as the one I initially called on & then the salesman had balls enough to ask me why I thought it was a piece of crap.

 

If you wanna hear a real horror story let me tell you about the local Chevy dealer. He would blow smoke up your rectum, he'd tell you everything you want to hear & nothing you don't. Before he'd take you out for a test drive in a new vehicle you had to give the keys to your current vehicle, I guess as collateral. Once you got back to the dealership & into his office he would pretty much hold you hostage until you'd signed for a new vehicle all while he still had your car keys in his pocket so you couldn't leave. He even locked a friend of mine in his office til she would sign the papers, she finally had to call the cops on her cell phone which scared the dealer enough to let her go. Needless to say this dealer went bankrupt 5 or so years ago & is no longer in bussines.
