Hello, I showed interest in Echopark's inventory and test drove one car. However, the estimate provided by the salesperson exceeded my budget, leading me to decline the purchase. The next day, I selected another car for a test drive, but despite its listed availability, I was informed it was already sold, so I left without a test drive. After multiple confirmations with their customer care, I returned the following day, only to find the car available, which was surprising. I liked the car and agreed to run a credit check as a newcomer to the country revealed a higher interest rate due to my limited credit history. Despite this, I obtained the estimate and explored options for a co-signer or an alternative loan. Meanwhile, I found another car of interest and requested a test drive, hoping to finalize the deal promptly with higher interest rate. However, after a 40-minute wait, an executive returned, stating they couldn't find the keys, preventing the sale. I'm perplexed by whether these incidents were coincidental or intentional. The first time they claimed the car was sold despite availability, and the second time they lost the keys, with a month-long wait for replacements. Now, I can't buy from another dealer due to the recent credit check, which already affected my credit score. Another inquiry will lead to further score reduction and higher interest rates
