Nightmarish Story (with happy ending)

Nah, the one I bought had just come in like a week or two ago and I'm almost positive I was the first person to put a deposit on it. You should try to get more hands-on in the process -- find out what dealership it is so you can look it up for yourself, get the VIN to see build date etc. Maybe I'm just crazy but that's all stuff I needed to know. Also get the mileage to make sure it's not a demo.

Trust me I've been really hands on. The last dealership I was actually dealing with did the same thing to me as happened to you. Took my deposit, told me they had a car and then couldn't produce any information. Ended up they had nothing. I'm going to be in touch with my dealership tomorrow to find out the availability of this car.

I'd love to know how these dealerships get away with this ****. Well good luck man, I hope I didn't take the one you were looking at lol.

haha thanks. It's all good man. After being f'd over so much by dealerships I'm not expecting to find the car I'm looking for until I put in an order for a 2010...So if I can get it than great. If not than I guess I have to wait longer. But I have hope since you told me your car wasn't locked up by anyone prior to you buying it. So maybe it was a different dealership.

Spoke to my dealer today and it wasn't the same car. In fact I was able to go put the deposit down on it and it'll be here sometime this week. Phew! That one made my heart skip a beat :-P Platinum Graphite 6MT Sports Package here I come!
