Default Bittersweet Day!

Tomorrow is going to be a bittersweet day! I will be parting with my 03 Z. I sold it to a co-worker. I am finalizing my deal on an 07 Z with a dealership out of state. I attribute my success in finding the car I wanted, to http://www.jeffhardy.com This site is dead on!!!

I had a deal with a dealership in Baltimore "FOX Chevrolet" and had been sent the Buyers order to get my financing. I aske several times how am I garenteed that this car will not be sold to another indiviual. I was told to "SEND the MONEY". I ask if they would take a security deposit and they claimed they do not do this on the ZO6.
I found out today that the Jackasses sold the car on Saturday. My sale person never even bothered to call and tell me!
One would think, that when you buy a 77K dollar car that you might treated with respect. Apparently this dealership doesn't know how to differentiate between a Cobalt purchase and Flagship Vehicle.

Oh after pinning my sale associate in the corner on this she says " let me find you another one and get it here for you" PLEASE - Do you think I will do buisness with a dealership that operates like this?

Good news is I am getting the car I wanted and are arranging my pick up date. Can't wait!!!! The road trip home will be a blast.

I'm with them, even thought this is the C5Z part, I'm sure you could squeeze a few photos in before the admin locks it all up
