Banned from an internet car lot?
Guys, forgive the double post, but you must read through the following series of e-mails that transpired between a dealer named TEXAS TOYS and myself during my pursuit of a Ridgeline. I can't even begin to count how many cars I've bought in my lifetime, and I'm a fairly shrewd negotiator, but I have NEVER, repeat NEVER, encountered treatment such as this. Am I crazy? Was I out of line (at first)?
Please read and comment, this eating at me like a cancer.
Little upset HA!!!! Still looking time invaluable gas prices going up????
Again look elsewhere and waist someone else's time we are banning you form our dealership!!!

Yes, I think you're lying. Why didn't you take it when it was offered?
I also think you're a prick and a shitty salesman with broken English. You could have sold me this car... I hope you own that fucking place because you don't deserve to have a fucking job you goddamned moron.
