Default What a Jerk!!

Local seller posted a 99' 996 cab with 88k miles for $13k. I called and he said come at 6 pm. I show up at 6pm and he acts like an @$$ say yes. I told him I am here to look at the Porsche. "Oh.... it sold"

I sent him a text, so I knew he had my number.

This jerk didn't even say sorry... nothing. He couldn't even get off his cell phone to talk to me.

A total waste of my time. I called him a @$$ and had to walk before I got tempted to pop him in his head.

Call the sales manager or dealer owner and let him know that you will be happy to spend your $13k somewhere else.

Could be a blessing in disguise, possibly saving you a ton of repair bills.

You are right! 996 had a ton of issues and if his lawn was any indication of the treatment of the car... I would be in for trouble!

I hope you didn,t drive far. I,ve seen rude work both ways. Often I have sat around waiting for someone who doesn,t show up after making an appointment I ask people to call if they aren,t going to show up and probably 50% don,t

Nope, just 5 miles each way... otherwise I would have lit him up! It was more that I sat around for 1.5 hrs waiting to go see it ... then I show up and meet Mr. @$$.

This week in running a simple ad for the RS America I've had 3 guys say they were absolutely, positively coming over late afternoon/early evening. No call, nothing. I'm home, so really no big deal. But if you're freaked out about a 140K mile car, why even inquire in the first place????

You should have paid him $14,000 for that.

What a ****!!

Look at it this way; would you really want to buy a car from a guy like that?

If he treats his cars like he treats other people, you are probably lucky to have missed the opportunity.
