| - 2 weekends ago my wife and I were car-shopping on a Sunday afternoon (note, some car dealerships are open on Sunday's in NC). She saw a 2004 Boxster is very nice shape, so we decided to get it. So to be proactive, the following day (Monday), I called Hendrick Porsche at a few minutes after 8am to set an appointments for late afternoon after I could get away from the office to drive the car and purchase it, if it met my qualifications. Note: I've owned a 986 before and quite familiar with Boxsters. Since Albie, the salesperson was off the clock at 5pm, he supposedly set me up with another salesperson who was supposed to call me and provide service history and known background of the car. While on my way from the office to Hendrick Porsche, I get a call (around 5pm) from the other salesperson to tell me they sold the car earlier in the day! Wow, I was shocked! No one had called to let me know someone else was interested and/or actually buying the car! This was just plain bad business, heck they told me someone from over 500 miles away had called in and put a deposit on the car Monday afternoon! Had they informed me when I called in very early Monday morning that I must place a deposit to hold the car until I could arrive Monday evening, I certainly would have done so! Very bad business ethics, untrustworthy people here, so I highly recommend shopping somewhere else where honesty and integrity are the business standard!
Part two, I want to thank HENDRICK Porsche for the reply, however it still would've been appropriate to call me as soon as they had the other individual placing a nonrefundable deposit on the car so I wouldn't have planned to take off from my office early and drive down there only to find out on the way into the dealership that the deal was dead. Also, I would have placed a deposit on the car, had they mentioned it was possible to do so, early Monday morning when I called in.
