McFly then secures financing from his bank to pay for the Coupe, makes the necessary travel arrangements to go pick up his car (he doesn&#8217;t live in Kentucky) and calls the dealer to put down a deposit with his credit card. This is when things begin to go bad. We&#8217;ll let McFly take it from here:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>I talk to the front desk secretary, ask her how to make my deposit for an Internet Sales deal I have, and she immediately transfers me to Eric Manley. I talk to Eric briefly and he laughs at me over the phone, &#8220;Sorry buddy but you&#8217;re not getting it for that price, he says.&#8221; I tell him it&#8217;s a deal that I have worked out with the Internet Sales guy, and I&#8217;m ready to make the deposit. He laughs at me again, and says, &#8220;sorry buddy, not for that price.&#8221; It&#8217;s obvious that this guy knows nothing about it, but it&#8217;s odd that he won&#8217;t let me make my deposit. He&#8217;s clearly either confused or not the right guy.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/20\/hyundai-dealer-auctions-genesis-coupe-for-16k-doesnt-want-to\/#continued\">Make the jump<\/a> for the rest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/20\/hyundai-dealer-auctions-genesis-coupe-for-16k-doesnt-want-to\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Hyundai dealer auctions Genesis Coupe for $16k, doesn&#8217;t want to honor deal *UPDATE<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/20\/hyundai-dealer-auctions-genesis-coupe-for-16k-doesnt-want-to\/\">Hyundai dealer auctions Genesis Coupe for $16k, doesn&#8217;t want to honor deal *UPDATE<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:58:00 EST.
