Welcome aboard 496BB!

Very interesting first post too.

Not all salesmen/women are as misinformed as your "friend." In all the years I've dealt with them, for the most part, they're friendly and well informed.

Was this salesman a younger gentleman? I ask because my only "issue" I experienced was in dealing with a young salesman, who when I showed him the dealer invoice for the SS I was thinking of ordering from another dealer, laughed at the price quote and walked away.

him - "They won't get you an SS at that price."

me - "Thanks. Have a nice day."

a few months later - I drive my SS to the dealer, talked to this guy, and walked him out to my brand new SS, where I showed him the paperwork relecting the deal I received elsewhere.

Some of these guys are too wise, in their own minds, for their own good.

Just have your parents throw in the extra cash.

All I can say is was it really worth getting all that upset about?

When in a position of disagreement like that, there are other things in life really worth getting upset over. (Starving children, people dying of various diseases, war, etc. )

Take it easy it isn't worth having a conniption(sp) over something like that.

I would be much more worried whether or not GM will be in strong enough financial shape to get this car on the street for a number of years.

Incidentally I have a "friend" who tells some tall tales. We all know hes full of shit all the time so we just accept it. About 2 months after I put my deposit down at my dealer (June) he came to me and said his friend got him high on the list at another dealer for the "SLP special edition", it was going to be 600 hp and about $60k, and don't tell anyone about it he doesn't want anyone to know... I said "surrrree no problem buddy!"

Oh i have heard of the SLP edition... it stands for "Stupid Lyin' Prick" runs off of methane from all the BS thats how it gets the 600hp

fastball · 12-02-2008, 04:44 PM

And some car salesmen wonder why I have a prejudice against many of them, untill I get to know them (like the good guys on this forum)

This kind of thing must be erradicated if GM is going to be able to swim through these rough economic waters. Top notch customer service and telling customers the truth is more important than ever now.

UPDATE:

Thanks for the welcome all of you! I thought you would be interested to hear the latest on this. So the body shop manager, where my Kenworth is being restored, took me to lunch two days ago and he mentioned my good old cranky friend. Apparently the guy is still fuming mad at me over calling his bluff in the body shop, so to keep his story alive he told the body manager to tell me that... "because of his close relation to the dealership, and the close relation of the dealership to a contact at GM, the General is selling one of the Z28 prototypes to him" (hahahaha, i almost choked on my hamburger I was laughing so hard) Honestly, I am getting a really good kick out of this whole "saga". Its pretty sad that someone will go so far to prove their lie is really true. I just smiled and told the body shop manager that when he does buy the "z28", then pigs will be passing him in the fast lane with their wings a blazin'. Great stuff everyone...

What I dont get is why he is trying so hard to one-up me... He DOES have a new Z06 vette, which i complimented heavily... so its not like im trying to get in a pee pee contest with him ya know? I just never have taken well to the wool being slammed over my eyes... errr when people fail to do so and it is apparent.

Thanks for the update. I can't wait to hear what happens next. To answer your question, some people just can't be wrong. Even if they have to paint such a ridiculous picture.

Anywhere close to Abingdon Camaropete? If so, you can come and see this soap opera for yourself... lol. Poor ol guy is trying so hard.
