Stupid Salesmen and Their Cars

 Today royally sucked. I woke up this morning puking my brains out. And if you have kids, you know this does not detour them. However, I was laying on the bathroom floor on the verge of absolute death (I was sure I saw the light) and Snoopy (my daughter) brought me a pillow and her favorite blankie. Sweet girl. And of course today had to be the day I receive a phone call from the dealership that the car we've been waiting on has arrived on the lot. I tell the salesman, Robert, that I would be there within the next hour. So I pull myself off the floor and quickly get ready to leave. 

I puke a few more times while getting myself and the kids ready to go. I stop at the bank and withdrawal our down payment. As I head to the dealership, I'm still getting sick. When I finally pull in, I see the car. I jump out and quickly look inside it. Perfect. Everything I want. Captains chairs, third row, clean interior. Awesome. I'm actually feeling just a bit better.  As I'm walking into the office, a lady comes out and drives away in MY new car. 

What. In. The. Actual. Hell? 

The salesman meets me at the door and says, "I'm sorry. She's really interested and has arrived before you." Are you kidding me? YOU called ME and said MY car was ready. I grabbed my wallet and said, "I have my cash right now. Here you go!" His reply, "I'm sorry. You should have arrived sooner." I started to cry like an emotional tit-bag. I was angry and sick. 

I have never heard of this before. I understand they have to sell their cars and they cannot hold a car for a customer, but he should've called me. He should've showed common courtesy even if it was just to say there is a lady here wanting your car. That was a complete waste of time. So, I called the best person I know to handle these situations. The angriest, most intimidating person who HATES a pissed off, really upset wife. Hubby. He called the salesman who avoided his calls and the manager told him I should've arrived in a timely manner and its not THEIR fault they have such a shitty inventory that customers are fighting over cars like sharks and seals during shark week. 

Hey guy! I arrived within the hour, WITH vomit breath and whiney kids. You suck and so does this dealership. I will be finding another dealership and I will let everyone know that wasn't cool and definitely shady. But I guess that's what you get when you deal with a smaller dealership. 

I picked up Hubby shortly after that fiasco from work. He's a truck driver for a major company in town. We grabbed the kids some food, went home and all took a good nap after lunch. We ordered pizza for dinner and all lounged in the living room watching Duck Dynasty. Hubby and Diablo Blanco (my youngest son) went to bed. Snoopy and I watched Breaking Dawn. We're a little Twihard. :) 

I got a phone call from my sister about a new car that will probably work out better in our favor and in the long scheme of things. I hope tomorrow for Sunday Funday, I feel better and can get some things accomplished. Until then....i will pull my big girl panties up and DEAL. 

Have you ever had a terrible experience with a car dealership or salesman?
