[QUOTE="primus2211, post: 578120, member: 6227"] phonzy, Let it go. Look at the scenario, you paid a booking fee for a car. No doubt you told them that you're unconfirmed but for the sales person, he/she would still need to hold the car for you in case that you do confirm. If someone walks in and asks for similar specs car from a different sales person, they'd have to say that there is no more stock. Would you compensate them for the loss of sales due to your actions? No? Would you compensate the sales person for the time that she/he used up entertaining you and potential loss of customer during that period? No? To make matters worse, he/she did not even get the RM 200 that you forfeited, it went into the company's account. Next question is, why book when you still want to look around? Why not be upstanding about it and bluntly tell her that you're going to look around and will get back to her in a specific time frame? I went to AB for test drive and upon finishing I told her that I'd look around for stock of the right colour and right deal. If she comes back to me with something I'm happy with THEN I'd book. She did not and I found the right car and deal at Ingress and my wife's a happy camper now. If you'd booked and the car was not there, they delayed the process, etc.... fine but no, you found a better deal....even from an ethical point of view, who can say who's got the rights to stand on higher grounds? Lesson learn, don't get engaged until you're sure she/he is the one, same goes for booking cars. Let it go and enjoy your car. [/QUOTE]
