One gallon of gas, one match.....leave it on juniors lot and burn it.
Go somewhere else get another and roll by while they scurry to put the blazing truck out and laugh and drive off.

No dont do that, just stick with the lawyer, and as others have said get the media in on it too.

Good luck with it, let us know how it turns out.

 

Yea, let’s bring in Geraldo Rivera, he’ll get to the bottom of this.

 

It does me a great story for the local news!! I'd give 'em a call.

 

Thunder, who was the dealer? I don't want to give a cent of my money to someone that treats their customers like this.

 

Whoever the dealer is......isn't it about time someone E mailed them a link to this forum and thread.

They might see the error of their ways then !!!

 

I was thinking the GM screwed the pooch here royally, the owner may be ok (doubt it but maybe)

However the opinon of the GM and Owner may change significantly when they start speaking to the lawyer.

They obiviously were trying to bluff there way through and miss-read the perspective owner.

I wonder when they get thinking about how deep the caca they are now, in the attitude may moderate.

To thunder, Banks were closed friday for the national holiday, and if paid by check you can likly stop payment monday and freeze the whole deal until it gets corrected to your satisfaction...

Their position weakens considerabley when they don't have your money!

Hey, this is Brian's wife writing. I just had to comment on this after Brian told me about it. I think that you should get the truck for FREE!! And some extra money for some mods, mods and more mods! How inappropriate and unprofessional of the General Manager and his punk little son! I am totally offended. I could not even imagine what I would have done if this happened to my husbands 04'. Give them hell, I hope you get all you need!

Ethically- If that Sum ___ch knew you ordered the truck, and awaited delivery- no way should he have let ANY flippin one drive YOUR truck, especially a snot-nosed teenager. If he's a GM, he damn sure should have another equivalent F-150 he could've let Junior drive instead of yours.

I would NOT take delivery (If I hadn't signed any titles), and they'd give me back any down payments I put down or, take a good @$$ whipping right on the showroom floor.

Legally, your truck IS still new, since it has not been titled. case in point, if you ever by a truck off the lot that's been test driven, it may have 15, 50, 250 miles on it. No one's ever "bought" it, so it's still new. I drove my truck for 3 days and put 400 miles on it, negotiating- and if they hadn't met my dal, I would have left it there. Somebody else would have had to buy it, with 400 miles on it.

Since your truck has never been titled, legally it's still new. What they'll do is make your waranty expire at 36,347 miles rather than at 36,000.

Legally they're right.
Ethically, they're wrong.
Customer service- Dead wrong.

You can't title a car sight-unseen, so legally- this is not your truck. But, if you left the lot with it, you just won the BOHICA award.

Bend Over Here It Comes Again.

 

Unbelievable, I've got to think that one of the local news stations would love to get a hold of a story like this. Did you put a deposit on this truck by chance?

 

I'm prettey sure the 3 day contract rule applies here. You have three business days to cancel any contract. Don't worry, you're covered.

 

I agree on contacting the local news channel. I bet you would get more action with that then the potential lawsuite. (cost of 1 vehicle vs the potential lost profits of many)

 

I am extremely sorry for your misery. I can not believe how awful your story is. I would sue them if at all possible, get an attorney immediately. The officer can be supeonaed & the dealer will loose. The problem is, what is the loss in dollars? I suppose you could sue them to cancel the contract because the dealer did not deliver the vehicle that you ordered.

Lastly, thank you for teaching all of us a lesson. I will put on the contract if I order, a maximum number of miles, & also not sign till the vehicle is inspected & ready to be driven home.

 

Unbelievable! Seems to me that if you signed and paid for everything on Friday and the truck was yours, then the dealer and the little punk stole your truck for the graduation party that night. You were only leaving it on the lot until you got license and insurance squared away. That's another point.... How did he show proof of insurance and ownership of the truck when he got pulled over? Insurance follows the truck not the driver. If the truck belonged to you then he was driving it uninsured.

I don't think driving it 97MPH is good for the engine before the so called "break in period". What would happen if you have to take it in for warranty work and the service dept reads the PCM and finds that it was driven at an excessive speed and RPM with such low miles?

If that were me they may have called the paramedics along with the police.

 

A commom misconception...
There is no "cooling off" period on major purchases.. Don't believe the hype.

I believe in Florida there is some type of cooling off period, I believe its 48 or 72 hours.
