Replying to: kdhspyder (Feb 10, 2006 12:25 pm) Today, I have a bit more money than before (nothing big, but enough), I know I have an excellent credit and I'm not afraid. The other day I wanted to take a look at a Volvo V50 and went on Saturday morning to a local store. Since I entered through service and parked there, the salesguys did not see my car coming in - I just showed up on the parking lot. I caught myself getting annoyed when nobody came to me - I think I looked too young or something, so they decided I wasn't worth the trip outside. How do I know? Usually, when I drive to the front door with my WRX, I get a proper greeting. And yes, I am one of those "just looking what is in the market" guys with test drives way ahead of the possible purchase (don't do it too often, though - three-four times a year, tops  ). Point is - the more money one have, the better they treat themselves, the less "afraid" they are of the salesguys. I really don't get those 750Li people in Rover's store. The only possible explanation is is they were windowshopping and then they realized it and got ashamed or something - got to go...

Replying to: martian (Feb 10, 2006 12:21 pm) I usually can smell B.S in the first 10 minutes. The guys that come in with the bling and always on the cell phone and talk about thier "business" look at A6s and then after we drive want a 499 lease payment, because they are making several "business" changes so they need a low payment. Audi A6 and A8 buyers know what they want and all about the cars so when they come in they often want to be left alone until they are ready to buy. They come off aloof but they can be if they want they are buying and $85,000 car.
