Maybe this guy got saved from making a silly financial decision buying a crap Dodge product? I'm also amazed the suckers that are willing to pay this sort of money for a Dodge product.
All my veteran friends absolutely hate being pandered to or given special treatment and attention because of their prior service especially the "Thank you for your service" they get often. According to them, it's something that really didn't start happening until the 2001/Iraq/Afghanistan. They feel it's awkward, unnecessary, and just plain weird.
And for those wondering, this crap Dodge dealer apparently is trying to make things right. According to them, the wife wasn't overly responsive regarding arrangement to buy and pick up the car. Then it was going to be someone's dad, etc. Per them, that's when they choose to sell the car another sucker willing to pay $100K over MSRP. My God. It's still not clear to me if the original person actually put a deposit down or something else. This sounds like a combo of a super crappy, greedy dealer and a bit of miscommunication on the buyer's end.
