Default Horrible SRT Dealer in IL

I was looking for a Mag SRT online and found one at "Naperville Dodge" here in Illinois. I went there and searched for it. I approched a salesman and he bowed his head after I asked them if they still had it. He paused and then said yea we have 1. I asked if I could see it he said yes then told me immediatly "You know this is a 2007 model not a 2006" I replied "HUH!" I knew at this point something was way off with this guy. SO I went to move my car and came back around and he yells out "It's gone bud, the owner took it home." He then proceeded to just talk to a porter and the kid says what did he take home and "Beck" the sales manager or lack there of said that SRT 8 and the kid says "That's a 2006 not a 2007" Now we all know that had to **** off "Beck" He doesn't even know what he is selling. So I asked him if he would call me when he got it back. SO he reluctantly took a reciept out of his pocket from a pay at the pump gas station. I gave my # anyway. Yesterday I returned to the dealer with a friend. We went in and I said to a salesman "Hey did you get that SRT-8 back yet" His responce as he gave me a dirty look and continued to walk was "Go talk to one of them" Again I though to myself "HUH!" This place has to be F'd up. SO I walked up to the desk where 5 or 6 salesman were standing and I walked up to "Beck" ( I don't even know if this is his name, it's listed as "Beck Beck" on the dealer website...so who knows) He looks at me like he has never seen me in my life. I said "Hi, did you get that SRT 8 back yet?" He again does this prayer thing where he bows his head and blanks out for like 10 seconds then asks some guy at the computer next to him if they got it back yet. The guy at the computer does the same thing then "Beck" looks at me and says "Are you even a serious buyer?" I said..."I gave you my number last week...you never called...why do you think I am back here? Is this car even for sale?" He says "Well it's the owners car and he is a multi-Gazzilionair so I don't even know if he is going to want to sell it" I said you know what, forget it" As I am walking out to entice me to come back to the sales desk he yells to me "Are you willing to pay 10G's over sticker?" What a looser. I am not suprised they have an over abundance of everything on the lot. No one wants to buy from them. Well, just wanted to share my story with ya'll. If any Chicagoans or anyone out west this way has had an expericane at this place or any other dealer please post it. Hey Beck great sales approch! "Are you willing to pay 10G's over sticker" WoW what an Idiot!

That's a freakin' weird dealer, very odd [&:] Can't even get the year right...yet alone a reasonable price. I would have walked out from that place too.

Man that is sad... Hell, I live here in Minneapolis, MN and have been preparing to buy my Charger RT w/ Perf Pkg from a Gregory Dodge there in Chicago. http://www.gregorydodge.com/en_US/ They're offering $99 over invoice on any Charger model. (I haven't asked about the SRT8, but according to their web site it would be included in that offer.) There's not a single dealer in the Twin Cities here that would even touch that deal. 95% of the chargers here are going for MSRP, and those that are discounted seem to have the mysterously high test-drive milage on them.

The Internet Sales manager is man named Mark if my meory serves me right. Again, to compare against local dealers, he seemed to know his cars. I've already had a few rather awkward moments around town here, where I've had to correct the dealers about what equipment is part of what model and what options package.

As it stands, I'm all for a $50 one way buddy pass on an airline to go buy my car if I can save nearly three grand, take a two day vacation and break in my new Charger on the way home.

I thik he bowed his head with this in mind.....

"F@ck.....we don't even have this car...what the hell am I going tell this guy...we never should have advertised we had it" Then the second time when I went back "****, I didn't think this guy was going to come back" Incentive offer will keep him away "Wanna pay 10 grand over?"

After he asked if I was a serious buyer I was thiking of going back the next day and telling him Yes I am a seriuos buyer and then show him my Vanity plates I already ordered in advance. Then tell him...I was going to bring the plates I ordered for my Viper also but I thought the site of these would be enough to make you feel like a real Jag @ff. Then ask him what his commison WOULD have been fr sellimng me a $90K car and a $40K car?

The only thing you can give Beck credit for is his honesty to tell you that car is 10k over price! That is a complete show stopper for me!
