Helping my daughter look for an FJ Cruiser on-line, I came across one at Milton Martin Toyota in Gainesville, Georgia. I called them, set up an appointment for Friday evening, and my Mom and Daughter went to go look at it. It looked great but had a few blemishes; scratches, dented bumper, and stains in the seats. I asked if they would agree to fix those items, I would take it. No problem they say, and that the interior guy was coming this Thursday to clean the upholstery. I said fine, I'll bring a Bank Check on Friday for the full amount, sign all the paperwork and pick the FJ up.
Saturday, the next day, unfortunately I and my daughter are both working. I get a call about the FJ, the sales guy tells me that they are trying to show the rig, but he has the keys. I tell him, "I'll put some money down on my credit card to hold it but I can not get there till this Friday. We want the FJ Cruiser." He says, "OK, let me check with my manager." He calls me a few hours later, and ask if I can come in to sign the paper work. I told him, "I'm working and can not get there today, but I can on Sunday", but they are not open. I asked if he could bring me the paperwork on Monday (today) and I'll sign it.....He says, "Let me check with my manager."
Get a Text this morning (Monday) saying they needed to meet the "QUOTA" for January and the FJ Cruiser was sold late Saturday night!
And they wonder why "Used Car Salesmen" get a bad rap.
I feel bad for my Daughter, she was actually looking forward to getting on the "IH8MUD - FJ Cruiser" forum.....Oh well, our search will go on!
