I saw an ad on craigslist for a Honda Grom (ad was posted in the wrong category, supposed to be in motorcycles by dealer not by owner) The ad was spammed on there everyday for a few months. The ad specifically said "Everybody is guaranteed approved, first time buyer programs, $0 down and everyone rides." So I didn't want to try the $0 money down so I saved up $1500 and have been at my job since 2011 and called the guy in the ad [redacted] He said go to this website and fill out the credit approval and I will let you know what happens in the morning. 2 days past and still nothing, so I call him and he says "oh, forgot to call you but great news come into the store and we will fill out the rest of the paper work and you can ride the grom home." So I drove an hour and a half to Melbourne, and when I get there [redacted] says "okay, we need to start your credit approval to make sure your good to go." I immediately say "I already did that on your website and you said I was good to go just to finish paperwork." He responds "oh no, that one didnt count we have to do it here and see if it goes through." So we again fill out the paperwork and sit there for 4 hours and no answer, by this point its 8 p.m and he hasnt told us anything except stay on the couch in the store. I finally get to the point where I just wanted to get home and eat dinner so I told him just call me when you get an answer... Next day no call OF COURSE. So that evening I call and say "What's the deal can I ride today?" And he says "no you werent approved, you need to bring us at least $2500-$3000 to be approved" I was so [redacted]... The ad said the bike was $2899. The ad also said $0 down everyone approved. I put $1500 down on a $2899 bike that everyone else gets approved with zero down with?
He also changed the price of the bike when filling out the paperwork to, the ad said the bike was $2899 and when I got there he changed it to $3400 without tax.
After I told him forget it you are changing what you said and I dont have time for this and I will just go to the Kawasaki dealer he went on to try to sell me a used cbr250/300 for $5000 blowing my phone up spamming me with text messages trying to get me to give him more money... After I was finally rude and told him to [redacted] he went on to try to get me to buy his "Buddies" wrecked bike. And I finally blocked his number.
