This might offend, but most real car enthusiasts realize that being a car salesman is a scumbag job due to the lies and manipulation involved in the process of car buying and wouldnt dare take that kind of job.
Truth hurts, and if you are a salesman that doesnt fit in this category, sorry....but you can thank the rest of the morons out there for stereotype and I wish there were more of you out there. I know there are individuals from dealers who come on here and post and support the forum by answering questions and giving information....THANK YOU to those of you who do, youre a rare breed.

While it is a rare breed of salesperson who can even compete with a car enthusiast, stereotyping the entire group is just as ignorant as bothering to do business with one you don't like or who didn't earn your business. While I was selling I remained GM Training certified on EVERY product chevrolet carries. To be honest, I feel like you are either spewing hate with the above comments, or attesting to your own ignorance because not only are you judging an entire group based on the stereotypes of some...but you are also doing it in a place where tons of sales people, managers, and Chevy employees are lurking, and looking to be helpful.
Also, during the 7 years I was a salesperson, and during the 3 years I have been a sales manager I have NEVER, EVER lied to a customer to earn their business. I also don't allow it from the sales people I am responsible for managing. With that said, do you HONESTLY think anyone today decided to tackle being a car salesman knowing the stigman associated with it, or just got in the business to "move product, and earn commission"
I think working 5, or in some cases 6 days a week, and trying best to handle people who come in to your dealership feeling like you do...is unfair, and outdated. Customers are given surveys post sale, Dealerships are awarded more money, more product, help in their service department with "questionable" or "just out of warranty, warranty items" by remaining top honors with customers, and staying certified with GM. SO while you troll forums, spewing hate I respect your enthusiasm concerning Camaros, but don't take a dealer experience you had, out on the rest of us.
*EDIT* Apparently Both Chevy dealership sales managers in this post have the Miracle in their name, I find that hilarious
