Big Dealership Mistake!!!

i went to RT 66 automall (i think it is called Sansone) tonight after hours to look at a cobra. I went at like midnight. I was walking around the lot and heard a noise. Someone left 2 cars running there with the lights on one and the ac on in both. they were running for like 4 hours. I called the cops and they came and turned them off. If it was a cobra i would have taken it for a test drive. Be careful if buyin cars from there. That is totally sloppy. Sucks for whoever buys those cars. One was just about out of gas. Just figured id warn everyone.

Now that I remember I went to a dealership about 5 months ago and I was looking at a 2003 Harley Davidson and it was unlocked. So before I left I went ahead and locked it.

Hey when I dropped my car off at the local Ford dealer one night after everyone had gone, the garage door was wide open. There was nobody around, all the tools were out and customers cars with keys.

I closed the door and locked. I guess thats why they all say not responsible for lost items.

I didn't think idling for a long time would hurt anything? That is sloppy and careless. I have never heard of car shopping at midnite. I guess if you go at midnite you don't have to worry about a salesman laying in front of your tire to get you to stay. If you act interested in a car they will just about do anything to keep you on the lot. They will really come off that price if you get in your car and proceed to leave.

I do the same thing... I hate talking to car salesman so I go late at night and check out the inventories. Then, I'll go during the day if I like what I see.

Yeah i look around at the cars and then if i see exactly what i want i go back in the day and fight the salesmen back with a stick!!! I was coming home from my friends so me and my friend stopped in to look. It was a grand am pontiac and a ford taurus. Ah well, it was quite a shock.
