Default GTO Stolen.....

Well, put a deposit on a black w/ red int GTO yesterday. Filled out the purchase order, signed it. All set to pick it up this morning!

Get to the dealer this morning and they say "sorry we sold it to someone that wanted the red interior"...I'm like WTF????? I had a deposit on the car and it was agreed I would be picking it up this morning. Sales Mngr said oh no problem I got another one with blk inside....and some goofy stripes on the side, i'm like uh no I picked out the one that is here on this p.o. along with the vin # and I would like to pick up my car. Well the car is long gone, dealer says too bad, I get pissed, dealer tells me to leave.

What do I do now??? Does anyone know how to contact the Pontiac Regional Zone Rep? I need his direct #........

Go over there heads to the Regional manager or Pontiac Hq itself. Don't let them get away with it!

Get a lawyer. This is a clear case of breach of contract. You've got signed papers by both parties and you've deposited funds.

Go get 'em.

They cannot do that. They have to get you that car. You had a signed contract and they have to honor that. That is if they know the meaning of honor. Thats a bunch of Good Luck!
