Ida kicked him square in the balls and left

Ida kicked him square in the balls and left

id have done the same followed by lots of laughing at him and the customary calling him a dumbass

 

[drunk_medic]

Pearl white manual hardtop for $8k? What a joke. I would have offered him $3k and a square kick in the nuts. It's be a perfect candidate for a clean swap.

I once went to look at a first generation GS300, and when I get there it was an ES300, I wanted to kill the guy for wasting my time. Didn't buy any Lexus though.

 

[Reign_Maker]

Yeah, I agree with everyone on the balls destruction, however, my biggest rant would have been on trying to offer an NA for 8 grand... I would've been like, $800 maybe?

 

[mcpcola]

Some people just don't know and instead of looking he problably thought all supras are turbo. Between mis-prints and mis-infomation that how the world goes round.

 

[MK3Brent]

What's the fascination with the turbo badge?
That was the first thing I ripped off when I bought mine.

 

[gixxer750]

mine is gone as well.

 

[shaeff]

[supradan22]

There will never be one on mine or a wing :evil2: so from the back people will think im n/a but they'll know im turbo when they see my huge frount mount.

I ran into the same bull with a different twist. I found an Awesome looking 95 Red Supra, so I email Tustin Mitsibishi for some questions answered and the guy e-mails me back saying that car is sold but they have something just LIKE IT LOL. I wrote them back and told them what jerks they were and that I would forever badmouth that dealership for it's dirty tactics. I almost drove up there to Tustin to see it before emailing them. That was three years ago, a year later there was the same ad at traderpubs.com. Last week I looked and there it was again, everyone should e-mail the creeps there and give em heck. I put a link to it so everyone can see the Supra that doesnt exist except to suck some poor individual to the Tustin Mitsubishi dealership.

[hottscennessey]

thats horrible, i cant believe some dealers would stoop so low.. they have an email.

 

[mcpcola]

Job boards do the same thing like Monster and Careerbuilder they post up jobs that are old just to keep things moving

 

[bryanintexas]

it`s the dealer`s way of getting you in the door. they figure if they can @ least get you in the door, they can send you home in a car. like the adds that are sooo incredible, but in fine print (only 1 available @ this price). bastards!

There is a fine line between bait and switch and creative advertising, which is legal. Just like a McDonalds sandwich picture.

Crooked salespeople know just how to straddle that line.

Badges, I dont need no stinking badges!

i also went through a problem like that back when i got my first car. i found a 95 cavalier z24, so i called about it and the guy was like "yeah its red, 5 speed, low miles blah blah blah." so i go 2 hours to take a look at this car that i was gonna get. it was at a custom paint place so i figured they would know something about cars. sure enough there was a red car there. but it was a 4 door sunfire with an auto in it lol. his excuse was "oh i never said that on that on the phone, that musta been some other car you called about." so i said WTF ever and went back home pissed off.
