Sold vehicle out from under us
We committed to purchasing a Chevy Tahoe from Phillips Auto on 920 S. Main Street Payette, ID 83661 208-642-2186 Fax: 208-642-2187. After several telephone conversations with the salesman and the owner of the company discussing the purchase of the vehicle last week and the committment on our part the vehicle in question was sold to some one else prior to us signing the papers and paying for said vehicle. In addition we offered to place a deposit so that such a thing as this would not happen, and they decined.They said that they trusted us in the fact that we had full intentions to buy said vehicle. On Monday my wife called to confirm the deal and the owner of the company stated that there was another couple there and they were waiting to see if thier loan application went thru so that they could purchase the Tahoe. The owner informed my wife that he would know with-in the hour if they had been approved or not. Some 2 plus hours later and no response, I called and talked to the owner and he said that he was sorry but that the Tahoe was sold. I know that there is little that we can count on in this world these days, and now I guess that as a consumer we can not trust anyone especially when they say they trust you and you can trust them. Just one more piece of evidence that used car salesmen and Dealer/Owner's are truely liars. So consumers beware and be cautious when not only purchasing a vehicle, but in the purchase of anything that you go to purchase. As a final thought, I believe that this company should not be allowed to do business in Idaho or anywhere else on this earth.
