Re: Bad experience with Erin Mills Acura salesperson
I think it is too late for me. I think I actually had the chance to reverse
the order or negotiate for the change of tires but I was so tired of arguing
with them that I decided to sign the contract and pick up the car. Although
the salesperson was able to talked me into signing a contract on the day I
test drived the car, on the day I picked up the car I was asked to sign
again the contract. I asked them why I had to sign again. One of the guys
raised the voice 'Just sign it and get the car!'. I was so shy to stand up
and leave. Later I regret I did not, or at least did not call my mechanic
about the fact that they asked me to resign the contract. If they asked me
to resign the contract, does it mean the contract I signed before was not
legal? I noticed later that the previous contract I signed had no signature
of the salesman, only signature of the sales manager. One thing the name of
the manager is not clear and different from the latter. The acceptor
registration no. is also different. I guess they just fooled me in the first
contract. If I really fought hard then they would have returned me the
deposit. Another thing I was so tired and lack of confident of arguing (I
did call the manager, whose name is Ramil, and asked for cancelation with a
return of my deposit. He said that I could not get the deposit) that I did
not ask for splitting the cost of tires replacement. If I did I think I
could get it. Also, when I asked the salesperson about the maintenance
record of the car, he said that he could not because it had the name of the
previous owner of the car! What a lie! I called another dealer, Acura 2000,
who sold the same car with less milage, only 55K instead of 73K. He told me
that everything is available for his car, including maintenance record.
Now as it is too late, I just want to remind people of Erin Mills Acura. I
wish anyone who are thinking of buying an Acura at Erin Mills Acura will
read this. What a bunch of bastards there!
