Default Local Car Dealer Experiences

Several years ago, we had our car serviced at Sullivan Cadillac in Ocala. We were extremely dissatisfied with the service, so we switched to another dealership.

Today, I got a call from a woman who said, (And this is an accurate quote), "This is Sullivan Cadillac....In lieu of the tornado damage, we are calling to see if you are okay." First of all, "In Lieu of..." means...."instead of" and secondly, how dare they use a natural disaster as a sales promotion? What were they going to do if I had sustained damage....offer some kind of help.....like maybe sell me a new car or repair a damaged one at full price? I thanked her for her inquiry and then I hung up.

Hey Sullivan Cadillac.....I didn't like the service I got from you before.....and I am surely not going to buy something from you now.
