2 1/2 hr drive to Tampa is made bearable as a passenger when you've got this awesome group of Zers to hang wit! (*group hug*)

So my not good car buying experience. It had a steady low pay job ($8.50/ hr) and the Hyundai Tiburon had just come out. I had a stream of used cars, nothing special and my project cars. A 55 Ford that I rebuilt the motor in my side yard, a 65 Impala that needed bodywork that nobody would do and then my 280z that I replaced everything in it. Anyways,LOL, I went to a Hyundai dealer in Buffalo. The salesman had me test drive the car and I liked it. We talked for a few minutes after and he said that he was putting my finance application in and we would know tomorrow. He called in the morning and said come up everything is set. I get there (1 1/2 hour drive) and he says that the financing was rejected. I was like WTH you said to come up and everything was good. He said that he could get me in a Accent, I needed a car so I said ok. I had a volunteer fireman's plate he said the DMV would not let me use on the new car?? As I was driving home I noticed that there was only a temp. reg on the windshield?? I called and he said the perm would be sent by the DMV. NY gen. doesn't give out temps. Well after 8 months I finally got it in the mail. Yes I called frequently about it. A month later the dealership called asking if I had a perm. registration. I said yes I just got it. They said that their sales man was stealing the registration money, giving out plates from other vehicles and had a person at the DMV that would issue temp. registrations. He went to jail for it and the person at the DMV was fired and received probation. :eek:

I loved my sales rep though. He worked the deal to where I only put $300 down and gave me an extra $2k on my trade in to push it through. :)

Meh, for the most part they're shysters and whatever magic they perform with smoke and mirrors makes no difference to their bottom line. I think the only thing that sets one apart from another is whether they make you feel comfortable, or whether they're azzholes. I actually had one salesman ask me if I was interested in a test drive or wanted to just get started "cranking numbers"! :eek: :shakes head:

Needless to say...that dealership did not get my money.

I'll be the one driving home at 3am after only sleeping for four hours whilst she sleeps in the passenger seat, with feet propped up. :)

I have a few things to do this afternoon. Should be able to start at 1:00 and be done before the Nationwide race.
