Hey out there, I am ISO a 2013-Newer BoConcept Smart CABRIO. I was set to fly out to Louisville, Kentucky (from Seattle) to buy one that I loved but the dealer sold it out from under me (poor business standards if you ask me since we'd been in negotiations for 4 days)... so I'm throwing feelers out there for another (long shot I know). Let me know if anyone has any leads?
Thanks

That stinks, but I found out that holding a car with a deposit will help MOST of the time.

Yeah I had 'asked' if I could put a deposit on it via text but they never responded until it was already held by someone else. I think the other person might have just been more convenient as I was having to fly from Seattle.
You can bet to make the sale, they told the customer looking at it, that someone else was interested and it wouldn't last. They had a live potential buyer in front of them.
I have had it happen to me many times. Even if you call, just to see if the car is available, that gives a salesperson a heads-up that someone is interested and they will use that info to make an immediate sale. Stinks but I understand it. It is the old "One in the hand, beats two in the bush."
