So I went to pickup "my" S2k today, 2004 model Suzuka Blue. I really want a Suzuka Blue S2000 and found one in great condition, low miles (15k), Honda certified with a clean carfax. I spent time with the Service Manager looking at the car on the rack, went through it with my HDS scan tool to make sure it was good...checked the warranty history for obvious hack-jobs by technicians. This thing was perfect.

The dealer had it on "hold" for my since Monday until I could get the $$ out of my stock market account with Etrade. Well, goofball me didn't sign anything other than a handshake that I would be back Wednesday afternoon with $ in hand to drive it away.

Well, this morning the dealer sold it. I'm not pi$$ed too bad, but it would be nice to be driving a S2k with the top down on the way home.

No point to this thread other than the lost opportunity.

On to the next one!

Thanks for listening.

I shake dealers hands and tell them ill be back the next day alllll the time, so you really can't expect a hand shake to go that far

 

Man that Sux but u F**cked up my friend u should of left a deposit if u really wanted the car i did when i bought mine and it worked out fine Good Luck Stealership don't care they just want money like all things in this world

 

Sorry about that, but maybe it wasn't meant to be- you will find another.

 

A salesman once told me that money talks and Bul**hit wallks.

My S was in the back of the dealership waiting to be shipped to another dealer the next day for a customer wanting the color.

It went home with me instead.

 

salespeople are dirt

 

had this happen to me before, huge letdown! sorry to hear it. hope you find the (next) perfect s soon!

helmet155, i've been on the other end of that situation.. before i bought it, i had my s2k shipped from another location, with a deposit on it.. when i got to my local dealer, to my surprise it was out on the showroom floor. dealer claimed they didn't know and that nobody had taken it for a test drive.. ha! got some freebies out of it though

 

Do you mean car salespeople? If so then for the most part you are right. They are some of the worst salesmen I have ever met. There are however some good ones out there

 

Gotta put down a deposit.... live and learn.

Good luck on your next attempt!

 

I always avoid dealing with the "sales associate of the year" winner at the dealership.

I presume he/she won the award by milking the most money out of the marks that come thru the door.

Dunno if it's true or not...just makes me a bit guarded.
