Are you tempted?

So here's an update on our car shopping madness... if you read the post about my week from hell, you know that we 'discovered' that the cars listed in the new car inventory of baliseauto.com doesn't necessarily mean that they actually HAVE that car on the lot, even tho they email you and tell you in no uncertain terms that the 'car IS available'... So.. in the interest of fairness to Balise I figured I'd give them a few days to update their site and see if that non-existent silver SX4 wouldn't disappear from the inventory listing...

So.. here we are a week later... and looking thru the inventory what do I see.. OH my... there's that non-existent Focus... imagine that... (actually you WOULD have to imagine that cause that's the only way your actually gonna see that car is in your imagination because it sure as heck isn't on their lot!) but see here.. There are a bunch of new Focus' listed on the site. So obviously they have updated their site to add cars but not to subtract them. lovely. and it gets BETTER!!!

What's this?? A liquid grey Focus.. standard... hey... that sounds like OUR car... you know, the one I have the deposit on... the one with the SOLD sign on the dashboard... and OH.. look.. here's the VIN#... DAMN.. it IS our car! So they brought the car onto the lot - already sold - and listed it in their new inventory... nice... so now some poor sap looking for a match to our car is gonna get suckered into thinking they can actually buy that car off the lot at Balise in Wilbraham... and at this point.. unless they put their foot down, I'm sure they'll end up with the $625 moonroof that they never wanted in the first place..

So... my question about the salesmen talking about being considered the dregs of society... it's a mute point... who cares if they think about it or not... they just keep proving it over and over... luckily I think we ended up with a great deal on a decent car and that's all that matters at this point, but with a little luck it'll be a VERY long time before I have to walk into another den of weasels!

Later...
