As we were chatting, we asked about some of the details about the car's towability- and the salesman sort of blanched, and went to look for directions, and then came out and told us that the car couldn't be towed 4 flat for the 2012 moldel.
This was after we specifically had this understood, had brought the new towplates, blah blah blah. I flushed, I sure, then just got up and walked out.
Bette was left to sputter her complete frustration, and we left. They were going to try to find a 2011 Fit, which we told them we didn't want, and were going to call us.
Well, they did call us, and turns out that in fact the car can be towed 4 flat, and there are in fact instructions in the owner's manual-
So now the deal was back on- we spent a frustrating hour and a half trying to get the salesman to show us where the fuse was to tow the car that had to be pulled, and he had no idea, then we had to sit through a dealer attempt to sell us long term maintainence stuff, extended contracts, stain repellent, low jack retrieval systems, etc.
We finally left the dealership with the car.
On a side note, Bette went back for the third time to the imagining center and got the all clear today- as we thought we would.
The new tow plates are due to be delivered tomorrow at the house, and we'll have them put on Monday, I reckon- the new Sirrus radio should be here soon also.
Slowly, we are breathing normally, and will move on and be ready to tow the car down to Miami on Nov 21 when Tina and Cooper arrive and we head on down.
Off to the hospital to call on neighbor Helen, who had an 11.5 hour procedure fusing 4 vertebra on her back yesterday.
