    The call it "Friendly" Yamaha but that's a deceiving name. They are anything but. I attempted to buy a 2007 Harley-Davidson from them. The bike was valued at $6999. I applies online and was pre-approved. Spoke to a woman as "*******" in sales the next day after I filled out my online credit application. She asked how much was I willing to put down and since their website indicates with 10% down how much your note would be so I told her $700. She said that would be fine and even went on to say there shouldn't be any problems getting approved. This earlier on a Saturday. They would close at 3:30pm so she said it might might take a day or two to process. They were closed Sunday and Monday. I managed to I touch base with her late on Tuesday and her response was that they still hadn't heard from the bank but she assured me she would call them and find out. A few hours later she texted me and told the bike I wanted had been sold and was there another bike I was interested in. I said yes (I'm sure she was hoping I'd say no). I gave her info on a 2012 Sportster that was a $1000 less. She "great!. I'll run this through and you'll know something in a few hours." I never heard back from her. Now what she didn't know was I had also been contacted by a woman named ****** out of the Slidell office. She had been trying to find out what was taking so long with the approval. Funny thing was, ****** called the bank and they said NOTHING was ever sent in under my name at all. On top of that, the Harley was never sold. I didn't have the best credit score going in so having a hard pull really hit me bad. It pulled it down so I was now under approval scoring. So when the option to re run it under a different lender came up I naturally said no. I'm very familiar with the bait and switch that car and motorcycle companies use to suck you in but for once I thought these people were different. Why the lie and the bait-n-switch ****? Just say my credit wasn't good.
