Car shopping

I have just been through the most hellish experience of buying a car. I am very emotional about everything and buying a car is no exception. At Unionville motors I was lied to and decieved. I was put on an emotional rollercoaster as the first time I went in the salesman was so bad that I complained to the manager. Once I was dealing with the manager he gave me a fantastic deal on the car BUT he told me I would have it by Saturday. Turns out that they were not able to get me the car they promised me. There was no apologies on Monday when I went in...just an offhand "these things happen" and a reprimand that I should be more flexible about colour. I cancelled the deal and then Carston (the manager of the dealership) turned around and said that they COULD get me the car...they just had to make a few calls.

I hate being lied to more than anything and even if he can get me that car I won't deal with him anymore. People shouldn't make promises they can't keep. For me it is a matter of principle. This guy is the reason that the Sleazy car salesman myth is perpetuated.

I have decided that on Wednesday, I am going to get the liquid gray metallic 4 door SL Pontiac Sunfire from Roy Foss (the salesman is a great guy named Vince that will not compromise the truth to make a sale) and even though I will be paying a bit more I will be supporting someone with moral integrety and not being an accomplice to the degredation of the moral fabric of society.

Wish me luck
