Here is my story; since the recent news that my wife and I are not only pregnant but we will be having two children instead of the expected one! I have been hunting for the perfect car for our new needs. Well after researching, reading reviews, and test-driving many different cars, suvs, minivans, and crossovers I decided that the Honda CR-V would be the car for us. I wanted and loved the tribute but interior was just too small. I went to the dealership last week and was offered 12,800 trade-in on my mint condition spicy orange MSP, which I thought was fair and after checking with people on the forum it seemed like a good deal. So yesterday I left early for work and went to the same dealership and dealt with the same dealer. He didnt remember me at first, even though it was only a week and half since I saw him last, but after I said my name and told him which car I was interested in he said that he remembered. We found the car on the lot, my wife and I took it for a good 2 hour test drive (we actually put baby seats in the car along with stroller and stuff to see how full we could cram this sucker) came back and started talking pricing. We worked on pricing and we got to a point where I felt comfortable with the bottom line price, after tax, title, etc.thats when I remind him of the trade in of the MSP. At this point he finally fully remembers our situation that we had talked about last time, he goes to talk to him manager and he regrets to tells us that he cant sell us the CR-V for that price and take my car in on trade for the original price he quoted. I ask for explanations but he only say he cant do it.
Whats the dealwe ended up not getting the CR-V yesterday and today I am getting pretty pissed. Anyone with any good recommendations for dealing with dealers in generalor anyone salesman here know why my deal went sour?
