So the salesperson I dealt with at Dawson called me back yesterday, apologized again for the deal going south. Â I explained I didn’t blame him at all, he mentioned the car had sold 20 minutes after I left, was currently ‘waiting on financing’ – I mentioned just as passing conversation what my next offer would have been, he said if anything fell through he would be in touch and run my offer past the owner. Â My ears perked up a bit on this one. Â Could the car have sold? Â Sure. Â Was this maybe a little slight of hand to gauge my interest in the car,and perhaps get me to ‘up the ante’ – I kind of feel like that is the case. Â I’d still buy that car if the opportunity arose.
He mentioned that he would keep an eye open for another Fusion with similar options *cough* – and is hoping he can find one before I do. Â We’ll see.
