Buyer beware

I went to Mike Thompson's RV in Colton, Ca. to buy a new Travel Trailer. I had spoken with a person that I was told was a manager two weeks ago, and explained my complete sitution, money, trade-in, downpayment, credit score, everything. We had to wait until today to go back, but I have talked to this person over the phone during the last two weeks. She told me to bring my trailer and she would get me a "fantastic" deal. My wife and I completely unloaded our trailer and took it down. I was shuffled off to another sales person, by the "manager" I spoke with eariler. Our information was taken, and then we were told, by the sales person because the finance manager couldn't stop eating his lunch to talk to us, that our credit score would need to be 100 pts higher (to the exccelent range 750+) and we would need to pay off our current TT because he couldn't role it into the loan. Also a 50% down payment would be good. I think it was 50% because we were never told what the price of the TT would be. The MSPR that was listed is the highest in the Nation, I looked, and they didn't seem to want to give any discount, even with the nationial average of 30% being a norm. I feel the treatment I receeived was very rude and uncalled for. I warn anyone going there to be prepared for a rude awakening.

Sorry to read of your troubles. I hope you politely told them to put the deal on the back burner, with the heat off, permanently.

How far did you have to tow your existing trailer to be treated in this manner?
