What would they tell you happened to your keys when you came back?

Lost them, now let's go see what kind of payment we can get you while we look for them.

Roof of the building.

Wow. Just wow.

This is really good to know actually. I pray for the poor soul that ever tries this on my wife or myself.

I also now will never go on a test drive while they "evaluate" my car ever again.

When I traded in my Jeep, I gave them my spare. They tried to play the keep away game with my keys, I pulled out my actual key set and you could see the sales guy deflate.

And, don't EVER get you're vehicle serviced from a dealership. Its always best to find a local shop that specializes in that particular brand!

I've been selling cars for 11 years and heard the story of the lost key thing and never once have seen it happen or know someone who actually has done it.

Now I actually did loose a customers keys once, but it was for the car they were on the way to pick up.

I'm looking for a Mustang or some kind of performance car. I looked at a Camaro and a BMW, I would like to keep my truck or sell it myself because screw the trade in game.

I never personally saw anything that shady in my very short stint as a car salesmen. There were salesmen that were just all around trash for sure. One guy told me about having a co-signer "sign" for the car in the back room, when that person was actually in jail. That same general manager I spoke of came back from a test drive of a potential trade in vehicle and told me he went 60 mph down a side street and stood on the brakes and got the car sideways before coming to a stop. Other than that, the utter trash of the sales people only usually extended to their own personal lives.

I've heard of a salesman selling someone's trade in before it was actually traded in. The worst I saw was a promotion company's guy selling a 2002 Z28 Camaro to an 80 year old man ($8k gross profit) and then the old man coming in the next day and trading in the Camaro on a Toyota Solara ($6k gross profit). Sales guy made $3500 on the oblivious old man in less than 24 hours.
