Thanks Erik...Im just pissed that they didnt even have the nerve to call me back.....I mean im paying good money for that car and giving them a hell of a trade in , I guess my business means nothing to them its princapal now...If they wanted to sell me the car or wanted my business dont you think they should have called me back????

I would think they would have had it in the shop doing final prep, etc., that it would be no where near any other car, much less a mini-van with a family and kids looking at it.

How did you see it happen, or did they come in and tell you what happened? What else did they say about fixing it. Surely they didn't just let you walk away! That's nuts for the stage of paperwork you were at.

Needless to say, if it's the SRT you really wanted I would call them back and make a play for additional savings... and then take it to Ernie... or accept the car with the written understanding that they will pay Ernie to match it up.

I can't believe a dealer would let a 40K+ check walk out the door because of something so trivial. When I say trivial, I'm not implying that I would not have been p!ssed - I would have. Thing is, the dealer that I buy from with would have been jumping through hoops doing anything they could to make it right and save the sale...

The salesman said maybe you're better off not taking the sale!? Unbelievable... sounds to me like they weren't that eager to close... did you get any sense of that before this happened. Seems like there should have been some hints.

Nope he called me all week to we agreed on a price never gave me that hint at all..He even came up from his summer home to do the deal...And this happened and didnt even try to stop me ...Maybe i was wrong for getting pissed and ran out like a baby but i was pissed a brand new car and a nice new chip in the front fender...Nice .....so i guess im not going to get it its now 4:30 and no call and i dont think i should have to pick up a phone and call them either i didnt chip the car....and try to hide it....Not even oh will fix it nothing....just oh its not that bad...well to me it was........So now im stuck with my R/T and i guess not SRT8 for me......:sad:

Naw you not wrong for gettin mad at all. I dad works in a dealer ship. He been there since I was born. Fact of the matter is a car that is sold or about to be sold should be set out were no one can can tear it up. That kid should have not been able hit that car. When I bought my car besides the sales man pulling it in the front window so I can see it. ( so he can use the visual pic to make me bye which worked) It mostly stayed in the back in a empty bay till the paper work was signed. If he doesnt call. Find a better dealer.

I really dont think he is going to call ...thats what has me more upset then the chip....I can fix the chip myself a little touch and a little lite wet sanding its gone but i was more mad that they didnt even want to fess up to it or maybe even take a few hundred off or even feel concerned that i was upset...but not even call me nothing........WOW

When I bought my magnum in Jan 05, I gave them a $5,000 cash downpayment and told them I would be back in 30 days with the balance.They put it away safe and did not let anyone touch it! Your dealer sounds like a dip$hit. Shop around, even if you have to travel.

 

[moparman53]

Maybe it's a sign. Either to keep the R/T or to find a better dealer.

 

[Mr.PEZO]

Yup good old signs. Eaither way a new dealer from here on out.

 

[JeffreyDJ]

So, what happened?

 

[My Hemi]

So, what happened?

Nothing the car is back on the lot with all kinds of advertising all over and they never called me back im pretty pissed too.......:sad:

 

[JeffreyDJ]

Yeah, very odd. Seems like they'd have called you back and tried to coax you back in. Go figure.

Sorry to hear it, but there's one out there for you somewhere.

 

[DawsonMagnum]

I wonder if this mysterious family in the mini-van might have belonged to the owner of the dealership or maybe someone else that worked at the dealership. Call me a conspiracy nut, but given that they did nothing but encourage you to leave, that makes me wonder if someone that worked there decided they wanted the car for themselves and decided to get the "family" to ding it so you wouldn't want it.It's pretty far-fetched, but stranger things have happened.

I am already looking..Lol.....Thanks

 

[da BoMM]

That's too bad -- you had a really sweet deal, if I recall.
Should've been a way to regroup and get everyone happy again.

Or maybe the dealer decided the deal was not a very good one for them so the incident was staged.....you really never know these days
