Well, clearly they didn't like that much because they made me chase after them to get my deposit refunded, which they eventually did. That was a month ago.

Fast forward to today. I get a letter in the mail telling me they denied my credit application. OK, but I dumped you first, so there! Ha! Seriously though, my credit is excellent. Why on earth would they send me that letter? Just to be childish? The order had been canceled already a month ago, deposit refunded, not to mention I could buy 2 more BMW's if I wanted to (I don't), so what's the point? Just a passive aggressive jab? That's all I can figure.

Why are most car dealerships so scummy?
scam artists and the whole industry … not all but most

maybe to hurt your credit score and cover their ass if you leave a negative review
