What Should I Do ???

Never let a dealer bump you up after you've agreed on price. They will laugh and call you a "sucker" behind your back for life if you fall for it (common stunt).

Walk, and don't let them talk you back into the car when they agree to give you back your old price (they will).

I know it's sucks to walk away, but if there going to pull that kind of sh@t screw-um. My car check out fine when I bought it. about a week later I had a cat go out, took it back to the dealer (after the deal was done) and they replaced the cat and both o2 censors at NO cost to me.

 

Don't fall for it!

Rare, 348? What model is it?

 

Isn't that called bait and switch? What rare 348 is it? I think your options are either demand your deposit back and run or require the dealer to fix the problem as part of the sale. Depending on what state you're in and what your agreement says, you may have a legal action for consumer fraud, fraud, misrepresenation, or fraudulent inducement. I've never heard of a dealer refusing to sell a customer any car. What dealer is this?

 

That is pure BS--as people have been telling me, that is one reason to buy from a dealer in the first place. Walk or make them fix it. What dealer is it?

 

Personally, I find it hard to believe that the timing issue was just now discovered...

How does one drive a car 1,500 miles and not realize that the timing is off?

Sounds to me like they are trying to pull a fast one on you. Even if they address the problem at no charge to you, I would still have the car checked by an independent mechanic...

 

If they represented a "perfect car" and you agreed in a signed document on a price for said vehicle they are legally obligated to deliver it to you at that price! There is no reason why you should pay more if anything I would have them lower the price because the vehicle is obviously not "perfect" and take it to your own shop to have it fixed.
THEY ARE AT FAULT HERE AND SHOULD BE AFRAID OF YOU! You have the upper hand as they have clearly and simply lied, and in a calculated effort misguided you- As a dealer their analysis of a car to be "Perfect" is considered an expert opinion and thus is legally binding.
Best of luck and in the very least your deposit should be returned in full. I would hold them to providing you with a perfect vehicle upon the agreed price.

 

Get your deposit back and find an honest dealer.

 

Everyone here is right. What a load of crap!!!

Ask for your money/deposit back and go buy a good F355.

Sorry to the 348 brotherhood.

Personal preference!!

 

Run Forrest Run!!!! Find another one. This one has issue. Besides who is to say that they will even service it. Run Forrest Run!!!!

 

Which idiot dealer was this ? It is amazing how other people think we are so stupid. Good call on talking to us. Sorry to see you lose the car, but turn around(with deposit) and dont look back. There are many other cars out around being sold by much more repsectful people. IMO

 

agree. what dealer is this? they need to be exposed if this is the way they are treating you.

 

Tell them to include the repairs at no additional cost, or buy my 348!

 

Nice move, pretty smooth wingfeather! Better to buy from a fellow F-Chatter than a shady used car dealer, just my $.02. Dont forget my commission wingfeather!

 

I second that. I would definitely buy from an f-chatter. I will be posting my own horrible dealer story soon. I've been waiting for the dealer to step up first. I believe in being fair and patient. My patience is running out though.

FWIW, I bet the cams were not timed properly during the belt service. They usually don just jump one tooth. I bet they knew about it based on performance and their inspection. Don't go for that crap.

 

I had a similar thing happen to me with my Duke 748RS, they weren't sure how it happened but it did. They came to the conclusion that the belts were defective. In either case, they covered me and then some. They should give you the same service since the deal was sealed! Just look at another before reconsidering that particular F-Car.

 

Alright already it's been a couple of days what happened and WHAT RARE 348 is it? I hope you told them to stick it.

Where are you? Did the dealer kidnap you??

 

RIGHT ON DUDE...

 

Sounds like they're dicking you around. How rare is this 348 that you're talking about anyways! I mean there's the SS and the Challenges, is there another "especially rare" 348's out there that I dont know about!? Anyways, its not even worth the troubles now unless they're willing to discount the car dramatically.

Oh and please tell us which dealer this is, for future reference!
