Replying to: thenebean (Nov 01, 2006 8:35 am) Its about having control. I admit, I did not have control of those people and because of that, I wasted alot of time. If I had control, If I told them to drive the car, most likely they would of. I was too nice just to invite them to drive. The way I look at it, I have steps I go thru in every sale, and all though the order sometimes changes, they all have to happen to be a succesfull and profitable transaction, not only for me but for the client also.This is my job. I do not go to the doctor, and say "Hey doctor, you really do not have to check my bloodpressure, I know its fine" Why should a customer, come to my house and tell me how to do my job. I am sure I am going rile some feathers but oh well....I feel a little spunky and cranky...long halloween night. Boo. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 01, 2006 9:34 am) Salesperson insisted I "tear it up" on city streets. He had a planned route....up a big hill (where we stopped at the bottom and he told me to floor it up the hill to experience the torque), through switchbacks (going 20+ MPH above the posted speed limit). He said I was being "too easy" on the car during the test drive....and, I was hitting 35 MPH zones at 65 MPH in spots.

Replying to: jasmith52 (Nov 01, 2006 9:00 am) In 1995, when a car salesman backed out of a deal we had made, I was not upset. Therefore, the sales people should not have been upset with good old boy Jim.

Replying to: bobst (Nov 01, 2006 10:35 am) Honestly, you weren't upset when someone backed out of a deal? I'd be upset with a salesman just as I would be with a customer. (Especially if they wreck one of our vehicles and spill coffee on me.  )Verbal contracts are binding. I've got an unbelievable story from yesterday I'll write up in a bit. -Moo
