Lexus dealerships near me (Eugene, OR)

I contacted Kendall for a very particular car I was interested in. We exchange paperwork and the dealer went ahead and run a credit check. Only for me to get a text message that the vehicle was sold. I could only conclude that they dealer was actively selling the car while they were engaging me (yes I know they were under no obligation to sell to me). I found that rather odd. I hope the credit check will not hurt my credit rating. Thank you.
