Car salesman (Pointing at an RSX Type S) : “Oh this car has more power than you can handle, it’s real fast. It’s fast because it’s light.” Me : “Uh, did you see the car I came in?” (My S2000) Car salesman : “Yeah, it has more power than your Honda.” ---

OOOO my favorite. I pull into Mitsu dealer with my car. “Hello sir, can I help you?” - Hi, I’m looking at that white evo that’s over there. “Ahh Yes. It’s fast and furious!” - Please don’t ever say that again. “Why? It is what it is!” - Ugh. Walk over to it and gives me the run down. Then he makes his fatal mistake… “Yeah, this thing will run circles around your Galant. AWD and turbo, you can’t beat it.” - Uh, my Galant is AWD, and turbo. And AWSteering. “How much did it cost for you to do THAT?” ---

a dealer on oliver while i was in NT,(yeah why was i shoppin there idk) i get there, cars only 3500 for a 97 talon, 2 years ago, very cheap for a dealer, i drive it, makes some noise, nothing bad. I ask whats wrong with this car, “Absolutly NOTHING wrong”. i’m like ok, but im gonna have it checked out. I was pretty serious about it so I took it for inspection, the mechanic comes out with no lie over a printed page of things wrong with the car and he wasnt done yet. He said this car is in no way street legal and should not be driving. drop paper off at dealers and leave. Then I get a call, it was the assistant manager, ? , right, so he says don’t buy the car, its not worth it i dont like my manager and i no the cars broken. 2 days later, I get a call from him again… Well since you really want it, I can go to 2300, theres barely anything wrong with the car, we’ll put on new tires! (all that was wrong with it were the piston rings, whole front suspension, right back linkage and suspension, paint job, battery, interior, i think tranny, brakes,list goes on) ---

[font=Verdana][font=Verdana][size=2]looking at a 2006 TSX for my fiance @ ray laks: saleswoman: oh it has heated seats and mirrors, memory seats… _me: does it have a heated steering wheel?_ saleswoman: oh no, only lexus and bmw have those. _me: uh… my maxima right there outside the window has a heated steering wheel…_ :gotme: saleswoman: … this was after she told me that the 2006 maxima doesn’t compete with the TSX because it’s not a ‘luxury’ car. lol, yokay. [font=Verdana]i also enjoyed listening to another salesman tell a customer how ‘new’ and ‘innovative’ it was that you could roll down the windows with the transmitter. :lol: i wanted to say _“yeah my 1996 maxima did the same thing; this car is what, 10 years newer?”_ lol[/font] [/font][/size][/font] ---

Think about the poor suckers that end up actually buying them. no effect on the vehicle what-so-ever…The only thing you could really fuck up is if you really go into it and fucked the suspension or suck at driving and fuck up the clutch… My car is fine, as fast if not faster than the average stock EVO, and the first time i put it in gear it went to redline.

It pisses me off the most car dealers don’t know their shit. My gf bought a new car last summer. During the course of many test drives, I only ran into 1 guy (worked at Northtown Jeep) that actually knew his shit - and not just about the jeeps, but about other manufacturers that Northtown deals with. He was a true salesman - not a waste of space like the rest of them. Is it too much to ask that you know a little about what you are selling me??? If you work at a honda dealer, then all you need to know about is Civic, Accord, CRV, S2K, Odyssey, Ridgeline, Element, Insight, Pilot, and Fit. That’s 10 cars. While they sit on their ass all day, they should read the brocures that they pass out. Anyone that has worked in a sales field will know that knowledge is key to performance. And 10 products is easy compared to what I needed to know when I was in computer sales. ---

One of my first jobs was selling Nissans back in like 97. I studied my ass off! I researched micropolishing and liquid filled engine mounts. I had the hardest time getting someone to explain to me how a viscous limited slip differential worked. What did customers want to know about? Power windows, locks, keyless entry, sunroof, CD player and floormats. For every stupid salesman, there are a hundered stupid customers. To be honest, a good salesperson knows more about people than they do about their product. Usually they only know enough about their product to sell it to their average customer.
