Hi guys,
I am new to this forum. I just got my license and i was about to buy my new bike this week but i got screwed over. Here is the story: i found a good deal on a new bike from a dealership in montreal for 2016 model. I called this morning confirmed the price which is also advertised clearly on their website and the sales manager confirmed it. I asked if i can put a deposit down, he asked when i am going to come from Toronto to pick up the bike and I said today or tomorrow. He said they will have enough and no need. So i took the day off today, rushed to rent a pickup and other equipment needed to transport the bike. After all was done and ready. I called again just to make sure they don't sell out before i get there. I was gonna offer a deposit again since they only had 3 left. The guy (sales manager) said oh sorry we changed our mind we are not going to sell the bike to you. His reasoning was we don't make much on it and we want to sell it to locals. I asked why you didn't tell me this morning when i asked and you said to come when you knew I was from Toronto. I went through a lot of trouble preparing everything and time time and money was wasted (spent 200 on equipment and rental car to bring it here). He said we changed our mind. I told him they should honour the deal and told them i will also need gear and will buy bikes in the future if they honour their deal but he refused. So at the end i felt what they did was discriminating and told then I may seek legal advise for the way they treated me a customer and the costs i already incurred including my time away from work. He didn't seem to care of course. Are there any lawyers who can provide advise or help or anyone with similar experience can share their thoughts as to what to do at least to teach them a lesson not to do this to other people. I will highly appreciate your inputs.
