Dave Smith in Kellogg I dee ho! I haven't purchased from them, but family members say they are the best deal in the Northwest!
Their bread winner was internet sales. I sent them a request for a internet quote and they responded that Dave Smith motors does not do internet sales any longer.
Fugg those stealerships, especially GM stealerships. They are giving you the anal probe and shutting down the sale you are already engaged in and have negotiated. The stealership manager probably held off on the sale to see what type of bail out money or incentive was coming along, and not for someone buying the vehicle out from under you. I promise, there is no line of people rushing to dealers’ doors trying to buy $60k+ vehicles out from under you. Not too long ago they were offering $10k “off invoice” and 0%/72 month financing just to move the pos vehicles that they currently have sitting in inventory. Unless the truck you are buying is something very unique or limited production, there will be inventory available, even with the plants currently shut down. I would NEVER deal with a dealership like that, and it has happened to you twice already. Try a buying service like Costco and see what they can do for you. I can guarantee no sales manager will pull that garbage with them.
I just went through a similar situation with one of the boat owners I work with, who was going to take delivery of a new C8 Corvette. The car is built and sitting in a lot waiting for delivery. The stealership told him that they suddenly could not deliver the car for the price they quoted him, and the car price would now increase by an additional $10k. This on a car that cost $90k and that he had paid a deposit for back in August. What the stealership failed to understand is that this guy had previously purchased a number of corvettes through them, including two C7 ZO6s, an C6 ZL1, and a few top level Camaros as well for his kids.
He bought the C8 to drive until they produce a ZO6, that he likely would have ordered from them as well. He told them to go fugg themselves and keep the vette, as well as advising them they had lost a long time high end customer. They tried to sweet talk him and tell him it was a mistake, but he was having none of that. He said he sat down in the Sales Manager’s office, got a cup of coffee, and called one of the big name corvette dealers on speaker making a deal for almost exactly the same car for only $550 over what he would have originally paid. He said he did the whole deal on speaker with the stealership Sales Manager sitting there, and should have the car next week. Fugg them.
