Been shopping for a newer truck. Went to the dealership and they had a Chevy Silverado 4x4 crew cab - told them it was ok but don't like the short bed (needs to pull a gooseneck) and the interior was cream which is no good for someone working on a horse farm with a kid and a dog. Also told them I don't like white.
The next day they called me and had the same truck which was a LTZ with longer bed and leather seats. We already had the money from the bank, they had pulled our credit which was excellent etc and they gave me a price on my trade in. My husband is in Afghanistan and so I have POA to sign for him. They arranged for me to go last night, take title on my old truck, insurance etc, do a conference call with my husband and sign the papers. I get there at the set time and they told me the truck sold 15 mins earlier but I could still have the original Chevy and they would put leather in it for a few thousand or low and behold, someone just 5 mins earlier traded in the same truck but in black with a few thousand less miles on it if I was prepared just a little bit more, like $4000 more.
I told them to stick it. I am so livid - is this considered bait and switch because if it is, I am reporting them!
The reason for the leather interior is that hay and shavings are always stuck to my clothes and then they stick to the fabric, had the same trouble with my prior truck and so swapped it to leather. also cleans up better from child spills and dog hair
