Dealer Sold My Raptor 37 to Another Buyer!

[TXRaptor37]

If you're willing to take this down the line, I'd file a complaint with the state AG and the state dealer board. This is blatant bait/switch and non-performance. They're all licensed, and there are rules governing those licenses. I've had two lemon trucks over the years, and one lease where an Audi dealer tried to back-date the lease paperwork to hit their numbers for the month. When Audi wouldn't allow it, the dealer tried to change the deal. I said pound sand and returned the car after having it for nearly 3 months, they tried to keep my down payment/first month. I filed complaints with the dealer board and got every penny back, plus the state fined the dealer 5k.

Worth it I think as this has gotten out of control. I'd also let Ford know you're filing complaints, they have to take that stuff seriously.

Honestly I didn’t realize there was actually recourse for this kinda of stuff since technically wasn’t a “contract” just really bad business, but I think I will file a formal complaint now with Ford and see what happens.

I really do appreciate everyone on this forum understanding and offering advice. Really sucks and wanted that Raptor 37

Not surprised at all. Those guys are known for ADM and shady deals. I'm honestly more surprised that Haik was 'awesome' they are the rip off kings of GT.

Glad you found something that works for now and hopefully you can get a Raptor down the road. Just steer of the Covert Clowns.

PS - Name change to TXTemor maybe

Haha, funny I’m on Tremor forum now as that!

Thanks Bubba, def been enjoying it and surprised I like the Tremor so much. Unlike Raptor it’s needs some help from factory. Adding a coilover lift, tires/wheels def helped it put. Thanks again and good to hear you got a 21!

That's a good-looking truck, and capable enough for what I actually need. I'd certainly consider one.

Nice! I’m TremorTX13 been listing the new lift and 35s installed a couple days ago. It’s Not a Raptor (I know) but still a great looking truck and capable enough for 90%+ of people using it off road

Hopefully my next truck IS a Raptor and I can rejoin the cool kids on this forum

Yup. They are horrendous -- but the guy posting is from CA, and TX dealers (esp Haik) love CA suckers.

I purchased from Haik before. I have property in OK. Never was a Sucker, they try but never succeeded. Dealers are taking deposits. But, who knows now lots of crap.

 

[WKUSMC]

Lol...sounds about like the people they hire.

I would by a Raptor R from them! Will the try to sell me a mini 14 with it! Option

You have a signed sales order with the vin and you paid them a deposit. That's an offer, acceptance, and consideration. That's a contract.

Hey ProFlyer, that’s exactly what I told the GM and Sales Manager that this kinda is a contract?! and they both completely shot it down and claimed it was not.

By the end of the conversation with Covert I was so disappointed in how ridiculous the situation had become that I decided I didn’t even want to give them my business.

Looking back I should have did more and tried to force them to sell to me, but happy with the truck I purchased (Tremor attached) and will look to upgrade to a Raptor next year when hopefully this insane truck market starts to calm down.

Thanks
