Audi West Houston

I made contact with the dealership at 11AM inquiring if the vehicle displayed online was still available. I was informed at 11:23AM by Mr. Samir Khatib that the vehicle indeed was available. I informed Mr. Samir that I was very interested in purchasing the vehicle that same day & wanted to immediately get started with the application via online to gain the approval. I was upfront with Mr. Samir and expressed that me & my husband was currently at work & that we had no interest in sitting at the dealership for hours. Mr. Samir explained that it was no problem and that the process was as simply as gaining the approval, then checking out the vehicle once we got off work. I stayed in communication with Mr. Samir throughout the whole day, providing him with me & my husband's personal information and all needed documents. I received a telephone call from the financing bank to confirm me & my husband's identity & was informed by the finance company that the approval was secure & that they would be notifying the dealership of this information. (Mind you) at this time I'm still in active communication with Mr. Samir in regard to the vehicle. I expressed to Mr. Samir at 6:15PM that my husband was getting off work and that we would be in route short to check the vehicle out. Mr. Samir responded, "Okay sounds good". While in route to the dealership, I received a text message from Mr. Samir stating "Hi Jamayne, I just finished with a client and another sales guy sold the A4. I might have another one similar to this". Confused, baffled, unprofessional, and very bad for business! I was approval for the vehicle, so why was me as a customer not taken seriously? Was it because were African American gay men in the market to purchase an Audi? Why were we not allowed to purchase this vehicle with a secure approval? Why is there lack of communication at this dealership where another salesman can underhandedly sell the same vehicle that has already been sold to another customer who has an approval and is in route for checkout with the vehicle? Once I arrived at the dealership, I overserved the vehicle in question still at the dealership. [non-permissible content removed] (who claimed he was the manager.... who I don't believe was the manager) expressed..."We don't hold vehicles around here because our inventory is very low...first come first served". I explained to him that no one asked you to hold a vehicle because Mr. Samir expressed at 11:23AM that the vehicle was still available, and I supplied you with all of my personal information & the approval has been secured by the financing company. The so-call manager calmly sat back in his seat & expressed that there was nothing that he was going to do to make this right. Even that the right thing that he should have done was show the new customers the same other A4 that he was trying to sell me after the fact & give me the vehicle that I secure an approval for. I'm highly education, clearing over 6 figures a year, with buyer's credit! I also have many years of experience as a finance director at a major car dealership in the Houston area, so I'm very familiar at how the car buying process work. I also have a statement e-mailed over from the finance company expressing to me the secured financing approval. I'm very disappointed that Mr. Samir and his "so-called manager" (who I later find out wasn't his manager) wasted my time & still has all of my valuable personal information. I know that this is not the values and morals that Audi West Houston stand for & I will continue to climb every platform possible until I can receive the correct information needed to address why African American gay individuals who are qualified not granted the right to purchase vehicles at Audi West Houston. I'm open & willing to continue this conversation. Mr. Jamayne Carter-Casey [contact info removed]
