Don't waste the time of a salesperson taking the test drive unless you really think you might want to buy. Honda did a similar thing a few years back. They gave out a pair of walkie-talkies if the "customers" took a test drive. Did that ever bring out the strokes!

Don't waste the time of a salesperson taking the test drive unless you really think you might want to buy. I didn't. First Buick dealer (in the town where I live) had no idea what I was talking about. They had to speak with their regional manager to get the information about the promotion. They promised me a call back the next day. Didn't happen. The second Buick dealer took my paperwork and immediately processed it. Didn't take a test drive, even though it was a weekday afternoon and the place was practically deserted. That, plus they didn't really have anything that I was too interested in. |

The Buick dealer has Pontiacs too, so I asked to drive a G6 convertible, since I want a 4 seat convertible to replace my Miata, so the kids can come along. That's win-win, if they listen to the customer they generate showroom traffic that might result in a sale. Too bad the structure had too much quiver, including a disturbing rattle in the A-pillar.  I passed. |

Some additional charges (waste fees etc.) may apply. Don't see an expiration on the coupon. link

Replying to: steve_ (Mar 15, 2007 6:56 am)  My dealer had a $20 special and it cost $22 plus tax, the extra $2 for that fee. Well, then, it's not a $20 oil change any more, is it? It's misleading. Still managed to be very cheap, though. I spend about that much on the oil and filter to do it myself. |
