ARRGHHHHHHH. Something similar happened to us with the same dealer but
at his Unadilla, GA location. I was talking with a young salesman
about a 1991 WL. I saw its' photos online and the cabinets just looked
like a light color. I put down a small deposit via my credit card on
this coach. Jack and I drove 8.5 hours from Florida to Unadilla. We
were tired. We got to the dealership, had to wait 45 minutes to see
this coach and that should have warned me. When this sales weasel
finally got around to showing us the coach, I walked in and saw those
PEACH colored cabinets!!!!! I thought that I would faint!!!! I was
looking at about $5000 to change out those cabinets!!! Then I really
got angry because after all the conversation I had with this salesman,
he never said anything about the color of those cabinets. So-o-o, I
was POed at him but REALLY POed at me for not being more inquisitive.
This particular coach was $150,000 and I think that it is STILL in
their inventory. The only positive thing about this was that my credit
charge was not charged for the deposit.

I wound up buying from a private owner and the final negotiated price
on our 1993 was reasonable.

I can certainly commiserate with you being out the price of those
airline tickets.
