We had made a downpayment on a car on a Thursday evening. We applied for financing at a bank the following day and left for the weekend. That application was turned down on Monday so we couldn't complete the deal. When we came back for the downpayment check, the owners both raised their voices and blamed us for not purchasing the car. They said they could have sold the car to someone else over the weekend but could not reach us. That is true, we were out of town. But had they reached us, we would have confirmed we still wanted the car, since we thought the financing would come thru on Monday. In their business you would think they would have learned by now that the customer is always right, that you win some, you lose some, you want to treat people nicely so they'll come back.
Pros: Prices seemed reasonable
Cons: Hostile, Discourteous Attitudes When Deal Fell Through
