stop emailing me. This is harassment
Sent on the Sprint? Now Network from my BlackBerry?
-------------------
On other sites this dealer has tried to respond as if some strange trade in cows was attempted, or trades of equal value, etc. This is yet another outright lie by this dealer in an attempt to mislead the public. I was a cash money buyer. I had no trade. I had no need of financing. I was prepared to purchase a vehicle in $100 bills. We did not even get far enough in our conversation to discuss price or haggle. I let you read the above chain of emails for yourself and will allow them to simply speak for themselves.
-------------------
Now these are QUOTES - I will be happy to forward the actual email chain to anyone interested.
Is this how YOU wish to be treated as a customer? Is this someone YOU wish to do business with?
I let you decide!

EMAIL CHAIN - JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
---------------------------
FROM CUSTOMER
And if you would reply to emails and provide pics - you just might sell the stupid thing.
(In response to a repeated posting on Craigslist. I had politely
requested information multiple times prior to this without the courtesy
of a reply. I was frustrated at this point trying to get someone there
simply to respond to my inquiries.)

FROM CUSTOMER
Wow....
You do realize you have - in writing - violated so many
discrimination laws that your whole business can be and probably should
be shut down by state authorities? Any court in this state would find
against you and your business - likely with extreme legal sanctions. I
may very well need to turn your email over to an attorney.
And interestingly - no - I am white. I am a victim of discrimination - in your mind.
Best regards!

I suppose you have never received the love and affection of judicial
due process for bigotry and discrimination. I predict that may soon
change. This is not 1960 Alabama and the KKK.... Welcome to the
21st century.
Seems to me you are being the rude a*s. You had
ignored repeated emails asking for information on your vehicle and
photos. Finally you responded - in the manner you chose. Not only have
you lost me as a customer - you have lost 500 more. Of course based
on your other reviews - you may not care.
Have a nice day
