There was no "incident" but I bought a car from a dealership. The salesman didn't let me take it on the road, only around the parking lot ( so I didn't notice the problem). Since I had driven a similar car at another dealership on the road, I didn't think anything of it. (Dumb, I know). When I drove away, I immediately noticed that the speedometer wasn't working. I turned around at the next exit and headed back...less that 30 minutes. Me: "The speedometer isn't working!" Mgr"we have that part on order and will call you when it comes in." Me:"I told (the salesman) I was going out of town Tuesday (this was a Saturday) and I need a working speedometer." Mgr: "You can get out of a ticket that way. If you get pulled over, just tell the cop that your speedometer isn't working and that will get you out of a ticket." Me: "Where is my old car"? Mgr: "I don't know" Me : I want it back. I want my old car back! Mgr: "Once you sign the papers, we don't return cars." When I got back from out of town, I told the finance mgr what was said to me....He said, "did you get stopped?" Me: "no" FM: "Then, there's no problem" Me: "Sending me out without a speedometer is pretty important. Almost like sending me out without brakes" FM: "Oh, it's not that bad."
