I want to see if the G8 will drive the price down on the low mileage Grand Prix GXP out there. Nice car, but it wouldnt work out as an only car in this climate. And for 30k+ its surely would be my only car. ---

Yeah I mean if you are like 20 or so, then I could see it… and I think it all depends on what car you drive into the dealership, it really does show a lot to them. The difference between here and Cali… there are a lot more beat ass people in this area that would come drive it and never consider buying it… in Cali people easily got that kind of money to just buy a car like that… Just an opinion tho. ---

I believe quad offered them to run his credit before taking it for a spin, to show that he was dead serious about buying it. ---

Yeah, I offered to let them run my credit after I said “I can afford to buy this car, but I’m not going to make an offer on ANY car before I drive it to see if I like it well enough to buy it”. I asked the salesman if he’d buy a car without driving it first, and of course he said “no”, but that he was only enforcing Wright’s “policy”. The salesman said “I have to go ask Mr. Wright” and walked away. By then my wife was already aggravated by their attitude and said “Let’s go, we’re not buying a car here”, so we left before the guy came back. Reminds me of a saying, though. “Treat a customer right and they’ll tell someone else.” “Treat a customer wrong and they’ll tell ten other people.” ---
