Hey Guys,
A few things:
1. I think maybe this post is going the way of the Dodo: that is, the point was to relay the story of a bad experience. Point was made on the first page and now it is just kinda non ZODAish.
2. Loanmaker probably did call the dealership. As I previously said in the letter, a dealer named Peyton stepped up (after the dealership received phone calls from Military AutoSource's Customer relation department) and helped out. I said that in the letter.
3. Loanmaker: As I said in the letter, my wife was called the next day by that Sales Mgr. That is when he gave her the analogy of, "It's like buying food at one restaurant and taking it to another to eat it. That's why you are being treated so rudely" analogy.
4. Loanmaker: I wouldn't view that 'follow up' call as an appeasing type call trying to ease her concerns. It was more of an argument.
5. I have no voicemails or calls from that guy after that call to my wife.
I think this thread has run it's course, you know? I want people to know how that Sales Mgr treated us, how he posted cars for sale that they didn't actually have so they could lure customers (I still don't think that's right), and how he justified their hostility. They thing I don't want is to paint with a broad brush that every salesman on that lot is evil, etc. As I said, that guy Peyton stepped up (after the phone calls to the dealership by MAS) and really made the situation more pleasant.
BTW, have any of you all ever tried to sleep where it is daylight basically 24hrs/day? That is what I have been trying to do for the last 2 weeks during an Exercise in Alaska.
