Lease Return Center

Lease Return Center reinforces the stereotype of a "greasy used car dealership". I called to confirm availability of a 2022 Tesla Model S with vin number 5YJSA1E54NF473408. Jason Sarwari confirmed that the car is en route to their dealership and I can put down a $1,000 deposit if I want to buy it. They sent me a deposit agreement form via DocuSign where I promptly provided my credit card info and signed the document. All of this occurred rapidly. Then Jason calls me to inform me that the car has some suspension problems and they're performing warranty work on it. I said I don't mind waiting if the car will be ready within a reasonable time frame and asked him to keep me in the loop. Fast forward a couple of days and I followed up with Jason and he gives me the all-too-predictable greasy used car salesman spiel of how someone else put a deposit down on the car before I did yada yada yada. I stopped him right there and ended the call. Going to report this to the Better Business Bureau. Having people sign legal documents and providing their credit card info as a greasy way to start a bidding war on their cars is unethical.
