Can understand your frustration if you had that experience. Does sound like the boss ultimately defused the situation. My dealings with them over the last 13 years as a private seller (4 cars) have been excellent and I know several others with similar experiences. My first experience as a buyer (FGX XR8) resulted in a fair deal, met the man himself who congratulated me getting the first FGX they sold and first-rate communication from the sales staff ever since.
