Day 3 and dealer still can not secure a new car
Went to the local Chevy dealer Saturday and worked a deal on a new Equinox, Silver Ice exterior color, Jet Black Interior, 1LT and 4cyl. They did not have one in inventory so they provide a VIN of one in south TN and say it will be transferred Monday, well get call Monday telling me that vehicle sold, and this was repeated again today on two others.
I find it hard to believe it is this hard but I am not in the business, hoping they come through and find one tomorrow. Patience is running thin now. |

I can believe it. You should try and get a dealer trade on some cars.

yeppers, tomorrow I might stop in the dealer and inquire what is going on. The previous cars I purchased where all transfers and never had an issue. If they do not budge I want the personal protection package for nothing at least.

Why not just call around and find where the vehicles are yourself?
I've had dealers try to sell me USED cars from other dealers' lots. They said they had this car, blah blah blah, and I could plainly see it at another dealer online, and NOT an affiliated dealer. They just said hundreds of $$$ more in price and figured they'd go get the vehicle, I suppose. |

Yeah good luck on getting a dealer to trade cars with another one. When I bought my truck, the local guy said there was no way on Earth that he could get me what I wanted, in the color I wanted.
I drove 26 miles to another dealer and got what I wanted and saved $1200.00 too! |

I don't know if the OP realizes there's nothing that sez the other dealer has to let go of that vehicle if he doesn't want to. |

Find the dealer he is getting the car from and call them direct. Make an offer $500 less than what you agreed on for your trouble.

Tell her they don't have any 4 bangers available anywhere. Better yet tell her the 4 banger she drove was a concept car or some bullshit. |

Might be easier to pull off now they are having trouble finding the exact model. She drove it and really liked it.
