      Answered
      I went to Covert on Tuesday night after 6pm. I signed the contract for a used car that was needing me to provide insurance. I spent the next 12 hours getting quotes and setting up my new insurance. Dealership called to ask when I could come by and take delivery of my new car. I explained I would be unavailable during any hours before 6pm. No one said anything to me about coming and dropping off vehicle or working with me to get my new car home. On Tuesday (as they were not open Monday) I asked to have my vehicle ready I was coming to take delivery. I was told they sold it. The reason they gave us that people come in all the time and sign contracts. I have never signed a contract I didnt live up to nor am I aware of any others who perform this practice.

      We committed to purchase a vehicle for our family and were approved for financing through our credit union. I had confirmed three separate times the vehicle was being held for us while the paperwork was getting processed. Two days later after the sales person returned from a day off I was informed the car had been sold. We really liked the car and now are trying to find the same car. While there are similar models and colors out there it is taking more time and potentially cost more money for shipping as the ones recently found were in a different city. The responsibility the dealership had to us was not upheld and has cost our family grief, time and potentially money. The Covert salesperson said her manager would call to discuss but we have not heard from the manager even after our efforts to follow up. I am not a new customer to this dealership. I have bought one company vehicle and one personal. In all three cases I have had to do considerable follow up. I am finding the lack of professionalism to be a common theme at this organization.
