Default so bummed!

I was so close to joining you guys with an IS. I found a used 06 IS350 in Houston with ML/NAV/black on black for $28.5 with 24k miles. I live in San Antonio so I called the dealership and said I’d take off work in the morning. So I went to my bank, got financing, insurance, etc. I called the dealership that evening to make sure we were still good to go and he said the car sold! I was so bummed and felt kind of dumb because I was telling everyone I was getting an IS350…guess it wasn’t meant to be…the search continues.

Don't worry there's plenty of fish in the sea.

Should have put a couple of hundred dollar deposit on it with a credit card to hold it for you until you could get over to see it.

Yeah a lot of IS250's but his looking for a IS350. Now those are rare specially used. You should of put it on hold I think $500.00 over the phone on a credit card should of hold the car for you.

yes...I should have put a down payment, but since the car was on the lot for 2 months I didn't think another day would have mattered.

If anyone comes across a black or GFM IS350, black interior, nav, ml, under 30k miles for a price around 30k or less please let me know! Since I was so close to getting one I really have the itch now.
