^^ Looks like we found the dealer

Spread like wildfire?

Oh geez... I just spotted a blurb on it coming up on CNN in the next hour. I guess it has spread. They need something to report!

Gulf Blue has landed in the USA!

Hilarious.

I'd consider this free advertising if I were him. He sounds wound up. Might "go postal" on someone.

He didn't even post who he was.

I think now that you've jumped in,it would be great if you can comment who's fault is it...?
I tend to agree it's not your fault since the SA " almost passed out " when he saw the car...

I don't really see where it is anyone's business, besides the client, dealer, and PCNA.
And yes, wildfire. I can't seem to get off the phone...

Odd, I understand all of the Townson staff passed the "What color is the Dress" test last week, with flying colors. Same color either way, just the Golf Blue comes with little tiny dimples that catch the light differently, do wonders for top speed and control in spins.

I would think getting unlimited phone calls would be a blessing for a dealer??

Why don't you use it to your advantage?

Geez, I'd be polite, introduce yourself, and offer to send your contact info. Obviously you can't do anything for this car, but calm down a bit. You're sounding very defensive.

Old dealer is probably happy that it was not accepted--now he can charge $50k over...
