So before I bought my Wave, I was checking out some used car dealerships just to see what was out there. I'm female and not at all car-saavy so they really tried to mess with me.
I was checking out a decent-looking '05 Corolla. These 2 guys came up to the car. One was a sales guy and the other one PRETENDING to be a CUSTOMER looking at the Corolla. Sales guy is speaking loudly enough for me to hear saying what a great car this was and how it just came in. He told the guy that these cars just fly out of the lot and that he GUARANTEES it won't be there by the end of the day. The guy pretending to be a customer whips out his cell and says he needs to call his wife. The sales guy says call your wife and get her down here cause 3 people have been asking about the car within the last hour and it was going fast. Hurry man! He shouts as the guy sprints across the lot on his cell...
Anyways, I asked to see the Carproof of this car. In reality, the car had been sitting there for 3 months. It had been in 3 seperate accidents totalling about $20,000 worth of damage. WTF?! They were asking almost $10,000 for that write-off piece of ****. It didn't fly off the lot that night. It's still there a week later. I can't believe that sleazy place has actors pretending to be customers.
Left that junk yard laughing.. Bought my Wave elsewhere the next day.
Anyone else have funny dealership stories to share??
The best one I had was in the mid-90s when the internet was just catching on, I went into a dealership with the edmunds.com information about their invoice, rebates, marketing support, and holdback. It was a toyota dealership on a crowded Saturday. The manager threw me out! They never saw anything like it before. Now it is commonplace.
I bought a lifted 97 Silverado a couple years ago from a used lot. This salesman was telling me what a sweet deal it was, and all these performance parts it had and stuff. There were 2 similar trucks there that were Chevy 1500's. So I asked how the small block ran, he says "All these 350's run great and this one has a cold air intake and blah blah blah..." Then I brought it to his attention that this truck he supposedly knew so much about was a badgless 2500 454ci big block. Also the shocks were blown and leaking oil and he said it had "custom" exhaust...it was just unbolted at the headers. I was like "Didn't you ever wonder why it had 8 lug wheels?" All in all he was selling it for 10K, I drove outta there for 6500. It was a good truck after I fixed it. It had shaved door handles, but the popper was in plain sight in the front passenger wheel well in case the battery dies. I love black Chevys. We went some places.
