My biggest adventure in a car dealership
So there I was yesterday afternoon, meeting with a fairly sleazy car salesman
(lets call him...Zoltan) at a very reputable dealership.
Quick background: for various reasons, I now own a car with "negative equity".
Now, on the phone the previous night, Zoltan promised that he had the perfect "diabolical plan" to alleviate my plight.
After a few test drives, we went back inside to discuss the "diabolical plan."
Quick disclaimer: I have no proof, other than my word, that the following happened.
Plan 1 consisted of him asking if I had "gap insurance", which I do, but I played dumb. Plan 1 then consisted of him suggesting that he facilitate my car "disappearing for good one night" and me getting the gap insurance money.
Plan 2 consisted of starting a new auto loan on the spot, and me defaulting on my current loan, leading to the car being repossessed. According to Zoltan, the new loan balanced out the repo, and my credit would not be damaged.
Epilogue: The brother of the dealership owner heard the heated exchange between me, Zoltan, and another dealer person...the told his brother about the altercation. The owner contacted me and was quite surprised by the story; he promised to make inquiries. About 2 hours later, Zoltan called to apologize and inform me that he had been fired.
Top that...I dare you.
