Same kind of experience for me here in Alberta. The local dealership here is a large volume mover of trucks and is probably #1 in Canada for that. So they obviously know how to sell vehicles.

I went down with my brother-in-law one day to look at Camaro's. We were there almost 2 hours and not a single salesman came over to ask us if we needed any help. Not impressed. Went down again a couple of weeks later, and the same thing. However after about an hour a salesman came up and asked if we needed anything. One of the Camaro's there was locked and I wanted to look in it. He said not a problem. He goes across the showroom, grabs the fob for the car and unlocks the doors. However he never comes back. Again, not impressed.

Next day I phone the Sales Manager (good friend of mine) and ask if they have been allocated a HWSE Camaro. He said they were not allocated one. I then proceeded to tell him about my bad experieces with the sales people the last two times I was down. He said he would make sure to talk to his staff.

Phoned another dealer in Sherwood Park (4 hours south of town) and they had allocation for one HWSE, so I put my deposit down. 2 weeks later the local dealer phones me wanting to know if I was still interested in the HWSE. I said I wasn't as I had already put my order in at a different dealer. My "friend" goes on to tell me that I should cancel that order and get the car through him as this other dealer does not contribute to the community, etc. I told him no because I have a truck that I take for service at his dealership, along with the car we bought for my wife. Also my parents have bought 4 vehicles from his Dad who owns the dealer over the years.
