Tired of Waiting for your Prius? GET YOURS IN WEEKS HERE!

Now you are showing your immaturity. Pete, my comments would have been exactly the same if you were 25, 35, or 65. What is so difficult for you to understand here. If you 'sell your spot', someone who has not been waiting will get a car sooner than someone who has been waiting. See sooner means that they've delayed someone else. We're not saying that you're currently preventing anyone else from getting a car, but once you vault someone else into that #1 spot you've delayed the number two person by at least one car and thus everyone else in line by one car. If you were that #2 guy and you'd been waiting what is it now? About 7 months? for your car. And you found out that 'technically' you're #2, but only b/c the #1 guy already got a car somewhere else but hasn't claimed his deposit back and now, suddenly, sells that spot to someone else who just read about the Prius and thought it sounded cool and is going to buy it with no wait at all. Wouldn't you be peeved? I would.

Also, you say that your spot "cost" you $500--are you saying they won't give your deposit back? If that is the case then you should file a small claims suit (unless you know it to be legal in your state for the dealers to keep deposits) against the dealer for the return of your money.

I guess the saddest thing is that you don't see how this is wrong. If you can't be introspective enough to understand that then all these arguements are, indeed, pointless.

I'm not trying to be your father or parent. I'm trying to be a voice of reason and to discuss this in a rational reasonable manner. I said in my first post that I respect you for some of the mature decisons you've made. I respect what you want to do and I expect you'll go far. But it's the little things in life, like this, that really determine what kind of person you'll be and how people will percieve you.

You can decide how you want to take all this. If I've come across as overly patronizing, I apologize. I've tried to treat you as an adult and with respect, but you still have many juvenile characteristics about you....and that's OK and that's normal and I'd be REALLY worried about you if you didn't have some, but this is an open forum. You chose to share your questionable plan here in an open public forum. This is an appropriate way for people to respond to an openly expressed percieved wrong... by anyone regardless of their age.

I'm going to REALLY try to shut up now... :|

 

They 'may' need the credit card--basicly they prefer to refund the CC rather than give you cash...safer for them, and cheaper. But, there really isn't any reason the business office can't do that over the phone.

I would call the dealership, ask to speak to the business office or someone other than your salesperson. See if you can convince them that you just need them to credit your credit card since you're reclaiming your deposit. If not, insist that he salesman do it if they balk (which might happen, they have safety mechanisms built in to make it harder for you to call and change your mind without listening to another effort on behalf of the salesman to keep your sale).

Finally, I'm glad you're changing your mind and finally understand what we've been saying. FWIW, if you will go back and read my very first post in this thread I said much the same thing. When you didn't understand I elaborated further in my second post.....I just spelled it out in painful detail in the third. I think that maybe you were so taken back by the negative responses that you got defensive instead of trying to understand what we were saying and how we felt it was wrong to do.

In any case, learning, growing and maturing is not an easy or painless process, and you're trooping through it with vigor.

Best of luck Pete.
