Update: Kurt - Skyline's Sales Manager - called me after - JandH
Update: Kurt - Skyline's Sales Manager - called me after the weekend to ask for details of the failed transaction. Ultimately, he offered to honor the original deal and I agreed. Sage handled the final paperwork. Both agreed that the gentlemen I dealt with at the Keizer lot would be talked to. I now have a very nice pickup and I'm happy with it.
I stopped by to check out F-150s because I haven’t in a decade or so and I’m considering trading my pickup, which is currently in the body shop. The salesman I talked to, Joey, convinced me they would take my trade with only viewing the truck at the body shop, which they did after a couple days of trying to sell me a particular vehicle. We then went back and forth on terms for a deal for a couple more days until we settled on a deal. Eric, the finance manager at the Keizer dealership, took my personal information and ran my credit. Then, AFTER doing that, informed me that I would be signing all of the papers for the loan, registration, etc., but they would keep possession of the vehicle until they had a second look at my trade AFTER it is done at the body shop so they could decide if they want to go forward with a deal! I got upset and tried to explain to Eric that now I would be locked into a deal that I don’t know for sure will happen and if it doesn’t, I now have a hard pull for a large loan on my credit report, which could cause problems with any future attempt to trade my vehicle. He wasn’t interested in listening. He insisted on talking over me and insisting that he did me some kind of favor because he didn’t charge me a fee for holding a vehicle for a week. I told him I never asked anyone to do that. He kept repeating that this is a very popular vehicle, as if he was trying to motivate me to do business with these unethical xxxxxxxx. Eric still refuses to take any responsibility in the matter. I asked who his direct supervisor is and he gave me the name of some manager at a different dealership. Obviously, he was lying to me, so I called the other dealership and figured out who his supervisor is. I was told he would call me back. He never did. So, now I’m faced with getting someone at the dealership to contact credit reporting agencies and having the hit removed from my history and possibly having to use the DOJ to force them to fix the damage they have caused. I DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER DOING BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE!
