A SALESMANS LIFE.....

So today was an INTERESTING day. we come to find out that one of our customers traded in their car saying that it needed a timing belt on the motor well turns out we spend all the money for the trade a descent amount and what is to be found no motor at all....... How low can you go thought you Dallas peeps would get a kick out of that I know we did!

SCION FUEL IS ONLY 3 DAYS AWAY YAY!!!

Even if the car isn't running, you at LEAST inventory the big pieces, don't you?

Body - check
Wheels - check
Tires - check
Seats - check
Window glass - check
Engine - uh, guys? Anybody see an engine?

well they didn't lie because it would need a timing belt......and a whole lot more. Seems you guys would have some recourse against them.

Only in TX. Oh wait, we can't start the car since there's not T-belt...that's clever. Okay...let's sign the paperworks and take 'er away.

Wow, honestly I can only feel so bad about this for ya. We drive, check, and re-check every trade we even consider taking in. If the car isnt physically there to appraise we make them sign a waiver of condition and then the deal they sign is still contingent upon the trade agreement...

David i have an awesome idea. What is the dealer going to do with the car???? are they going to send it to a junk yard?? i was thinking depending on what they do with it, they should have a spot set up at Scion Fuels where somebody would pay like 5.00 for 5 licks with a sledge hammer.. what you think, it would be bad ___, the car would have to be set up in like a 10x10 spot taped up to realease liability.
