When I started to ask the right questions.. past deceptions came to light and the manager even attempted to lie about the retail cost of the laptop forgetting that he had me pick out exactly what I wanted on their Best But account. They'll tell you that they will transfer the paid balance from previous items.. what they will forget to tell you, happened to me twice, is that they can only transfer $500. The manager even took out far more than I told to in advance.. I told him 2 weeks... Instead he pulls over 2 months worth of payments. Which forced me into opting for the buy out option. Asked him to put it on paper and he refused. Once I clear this laptop from them . I'm done.
