I was at dealer today for almost two hours working out my trade deal and price on a 2012 special order.

Sales guy drives my car over to the used car building so they can check it out. 10 minutes later he comes back over to new sales and asks me if I have a spare key. I say yeah ..all the original factory keys are at my house.

Well .. turns out they locked the key in my car ... and it was still running! So we go inside for like an hour going back and forth on the deal. In the meantime the service department is supposed to be cutting a valet key so they can get into car.

The hour passes and we walk over to the used car lot and my car is still Running and still locked! They had put a large fan in front of the grill to keep it cool. They cut two valet keys from the VIN and none of them worked. SO now another 15 minutes go by and a locksmith they called shows up ...

Locksmith charges the dealer $190 to open the door .. and it takes 2 minutes to open it .... LOL .....

And they didn't reimburse me for gas! SOB ....

 

Oh man that cracks me up. I guess someone in the used car department will have to eat that one. Were you able to work out a deal on a new car?

 

It would have been cheaper for them to give you a car and send you home to get the spare key!

 

Ha and what Dennis said.

 

Which dealer was that? I want to make sure I stay far away from them

 

When they first told me I told them give me a car and I'll run home and get a key. They said don't worry we will just cut a valet key.

 

That's funny. My dealer always rolls the windows down just for that reason

 

A new twist on the "we can't find your keys" ploy from the old days.
Seems like it backfired right into the locksmith's pocket...

How did the deal go ?
