G I Motors bad service.

In spite of some negative reviews about G I Motors I decided to deal with the person who had recent positive reviews and for several days have been communicating regarding a particular vehicle which has been on their books for 5 weeks. As I am in Cape Town, I arranged for someone to go and check out the car on Saturday. I asked for their banking details so that I could make a deposit but was told to wait. The car was checked mid-morning on Saturday and reported to me. I phoned the salesman (who was not in the store) and arranged to complete the process on Monday morning. Monday morning I received a message to sat that unfortunately the car had been sold! My son had made arrngements to take off work and fly up to Pretoria to collect the vehicle. I understand that things sometimes go wrong but I find it strange that a car that had been on the floor for 5 weeks suddenly got sold in the hour before closing on Saturday, especially in the light of the previous Hello Peter complaints about side deals. The inconvenience to my family is considerable and I certainly will not trust a deal with G I Motors again.
