Dishonest Used Car Lot - North Texas Autosports - http://www.ntxautosports.com
I had brought this up a while back with no details until I explored what legal options (if any) I had. Since I have none, I will go ahead and reveal the company name and situation. My advice is to avoid these guys like the plague.
I went to look at a truck they had, and took it for a test drive. It had some wheel noise that they said they would check out and fix and call me once that was done. A week later I call them since they hadn't called me, and they say yep, its fixed. Since I already had looked it over, and liked it, we went back and forth, and agree on a price over the phone (their location is over an hour away) and they send the necessary paperwork to my bank to finish up the financing so i can pick it up that week. (I was already approved at the bank before I made the offer) The bank gets everything needed except a copy of the title, which the dealer says he will find and send over. Two weeks of phone calls from myself and the bank, and all we get are excuses from the dealer saying they are still trying to "find" the title. After two weeks of getting the run around I check their website again (I was checking it daily) and they have sold the truck. So obviously the deal we made was too cheap, and they kept stalling hoping I would walk, and when I didn't, they sold it to someone else, even though my bank had a signed purchase agreement from them.
A funny side note, a few weeks later I was watching Fast and Loud, and Richard (main character of the show if you haven't seen it) ran into the same issue. He flew up to Montana (I thnk) and made a deal with a guy for two Shelby Mustangs, and a few weeks later, the guy gives the same excuse, he can't get the titles.
If you can't make the deal, man up and say so. I actually would have gone higher on the truck had they not accepted the offer I made. But instead of trying to work with me, they lied about it until they could find another buyer.

Truck wasn't meant to be.....maybe you were their backup offer!

Not a hard question at all. I have just been too busy to get back on here.
No, they had nothing signed from me either. As I said, we agreed to the price over the phone, and my bank called them to get the paperwork to complete the loan, so I would like to think they would see that as a serious offer.
I had driven over an hour to their loacation the week before to look at it, and called them to see if they had corrected the noise in the front end, even though they said they were going to call me, so I was showing what I felt to be genuine interest.
I made an offer, they accepted it, he even called it a "phone call handshake", they sent a signed sales agreement to the bank, and then suddenly they couldn't "find" the title. They had the title, they just changed their mind on the deal.
LOL, good point JS on me being their back up offer! I didn't think of that.
