[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']OK, a friend of mine just totaled his car. He needed to get a used car in the $7000 range to fit his budget. He found a Ford Taurus 2006, 30000 miles advertised at AutoWorld Kia in East Meadow Long Island. He called the dealership in the morning asking if the car was still available. He was told yes it was. I had an appointment in the morning and couldn't hook up with him until that afternoon. We live about 35 Miles away from this dealership and called again at about 1 PM to see if the car was there. We were told it was.

We arrived at the dealer about 1:45PM. We were greeted by a salesman who was very new to the business. When we asked about the car that was advertised, we were told it was not there and probably sold that day.

I was furious. I had sold cars years ago and I would have never done that to a customer. He did tell us he had another 2008 Taurus for around $12,000. Very obvious bait and switch. After spending about 1/2 hr at the dealership waiting for the salesman to show us the car that was advertised we decided to call other dealers we saw had cars right in front of the salesman. He tried to show us a car that was just bought at the auction that had been in a wreck, and was not maintained. I know this by the new body panels we saw and the fact that the transmission oil in the car was brown and smelled burnt.

After looking at these 2 cars and wasting my time I decided I would thank the sales manager for wasting my time.

I walked up to where all of the salesmen were talking to the manager and stuck my hand out as if I wanted to shake his hand. He started to shake my hand and then I thanked him for wasting my time. His response was amazing. "Come back again tomorrow, we can do it all again!"

This is the kind of salesmanship that gives auto dealers a bad name. I can say this much. I will never step foot into an AutoWorld dealership again.[/FONT]
