I went to Planet dodge to purchase a new truck. I explained to the salesman what i wanted to purchase and that i would be financing only through my credit union. After choosing my truck, We were not able to come to deal on it so i was about to leave.
Thats when the sales people convinced me to look at a lower priced truck to attempt to make a deal. I was finally convinced into purchasing the truck i really did not want, but after several hours of being there with no food or drinks they did that. I explained again to the sales people and finance person that i would be only financing through the credit union, They said they understood that they could not match the rate i would get from the CU. T
The sales person and finance manager then told me to sign what they called a "courtesy contract". They told me that i could take the truck that night by signing the "courtesy contract". I explained again to the people that i was only going to purchase using the CU. Then they tell me that the contract is only so i can take the truck off the lot and they have some paper work in case something happens thats all. So i sign this "courtesy contract" and go home.
The next morning i go to the CU to fill out the loan App. Thats when the loan officers tells me that there are some problems and i would not be able finance the vehicle with them.
I rush straight to the dealer and explain that i will not be able to purchase the vehicle due to some problems. Thats when the sales man says that i have already purchased the vehicle through them the night before by signing the "courtesy contract". I asked what are you talking about, You said that was only so i can drive home that night. He said that the was a binding contract for the purchase of the vehicle in case i could not get financing elsewhere. Then with a smile he says"Look on the bright side you have a new truck".
So let it be a warning to all, they will tell you anything to get you into there vehicle. I will never recommend Potamkin planet dodge in Miami or purchase another Dodge thanks to them. This was my $40,000 life lesson.
