Hi Brooke. We do appreciate your feedback. Whether good or bad, it helps know when we miss the mark. I have reviewed the details of your review with the relevant parties. Marcus was off when your email came in, but has returned and will be responding to you as well. We never want anyone to feel like their concerns are not important. They all are. I agree that this was a frustrating situation for you. It's always a challenge for us when 2 people want the same car. We do the best we can to satisfy all who are involved. Our process is such that a car is available until it is sold. We can't imagine having a customer standing in front of a vehicle on our property wanting to purchase it and being told they can't because someone has is thinking about buying it. There are 30 salespeople here trying to make a living. We all have to share the same inventory and it is not appropriate to label any inventory unavailable for sale until it is sold and gone. That is what Mari did. She called you as soon as she knew it was sold in an effort to save you whatever time she could. She did not gain anything from doing that. It is just the right thing to do. We hate that it ended this way and there are normally reasonable option to find a suitable replacement. Though, it sounds like you've already found one. Congratulations. even though we didn't get to do business with you, we wish you all the best with your new vehicle. Regards David McAlister Director of Brand Development Scott Clark Honda

What I'm referring to is the other person. We can't keep them from buying car because someone is "on their way". I misunderstood your last exchange with Mari. I agree, she should've reached out to you as soon as she knew it sold. I'm not sure on the timeline of things as they unfolded. I do apologize and I truly hope you enjoy your new vehicle. I will double back to Mari and discuss the best time to inform a customer that the car they were interested in is sold. Wish you all the best!

Hi, David: While I appreciate your sentiment, that is incorrect. I was in-route to put my deposit down, so there was no "another customer thinking about it". And NO, Mari did NOT call me to tell me the car was sold - it was not until I called her to let her know I was minutes away from the dealership. So the "right thing to do"...no...she did not do the right thing as it took me calling her, not the way in which you described in your response. I understand that salesmen are there to make a living but in order for you all to have a business for them to make a living from, there needs to be some rethinking the strategy in which how you all handle customers (i.e., why wasn't there an offer to do a deposit over the phone). This situation was poorly handled on many levels and I just hope that it is a lesson learned for parties involved to find ways to properly handle customers. Thanks for your well wishes - take care.
