I called on a Shuttle Bus they had listed on Craigslist. I was told $16,500 over the phone. I was prepared to offer $15,700 upon arrival. They pulled the classic ""bait and switch."" The price changed to $18,800 ($20,400 with tax, title, license, etc.). I agreed with the salesman upon $19,355 to close the deal. Salesman Brad did a great job (nice guy) discussing his knowledge of the bus. The manager Mike agreed upon the $19,355. A phone call to the owner netted a response of $22,000 plus taxes, etc. I finally offered $20,000 ""out the door"" including an oil change, transmission fluid drain/fill, and a decent wipe down of the interior. They still didn't do the deal. This shop has poor ownership and utilizes slimy used car tactics. I will not be buying the bus unless they honor the 19,355 price originally agreed upon. It's implied the owner will call on Tuesday.
