Disgusting and heartbreaking story. People can be so cruel.

Call me rather skeptical. I'm having a hard time believing this.
It seems to me the buyer would only have had to show his cash and he would have been taken to the sales manager.

We all know that good customer service at Chevy dealerships can be HIT or MISS!

These kinds of stupid things do happen. It was about 1969 or 70. I had been driving by the Ford/Mercury dealership and looking at a Cougar Eliminator. It was black and the motor was a 428. It was a very nice and pretty much rare vehicle. I went to the bank and took out around $5000 in cash. They put the money in my brown paper bag. The bank asked me why I was going to walk out the door with that much cash. I told them about the car I wanted and where it was at. The bank sent one of the police officers with me in the 4 or 5 block walk to the dealership. Very nice of the bank. We walked into the dealer and walked over and I showed the police officer the Cougar. We waited for someone to come up to us. No one ever did. I should state I was not dressed very well that day, about normal for me. Nicely dressed people came in after me and got promptly waited on. The police officer said he would get someone to wait on us and I said no lets just wait. No one ever came up to us. When I had had enough I raised my voice and said may I have you salespeoples attention or something like that. I came in here to buy that Cougar Eliminator and none of you offered to even talk to me. I slammed the paper bag on the counter and it burst open. They could easily see the cash was there to purchase the car. The police officer and I rounded up the cash and walked out of the dealer and back to the bank and I put the money back in the bank. The dealership found out who I was and called me at home later. I told them I would not ever deal with them then or in the future. So, my point is, there are extremely stupid people in dealerships... At the time I had a 1969 SS 427 Impala and ended up buying a 70 SS 454/450 Chevelle LS6 a short time later...

Pretty disgusting if true, hard to believe but in todays world anything is possible. Certainly if you think about it you can envision some moron sales person handling it this way.

This is just another unsubstantiated horror story.
If the guy had a known terminal illness (crap, he died in a few weeks!) and the bank rightfully turned down his loan app, don't blame the dealer.
The fact some even believe a dealer would turn away a customer with an appropriate cash payment amazes me.
