| Many moons ago, (93 i think) i bought a new GMC Sonoma pick-up, 2.8 V6 with a 5-speed. I specifically asked the salesman if i could get the truck with the 4.3 V6 with a 5-speed. He told me NO, that combination of engine/transmission did not exist. Several days later i found GMC trucks for sale, you guessed it, equipped with 4.3 V6 with a manual transmission. As luck would have it, I received a telephone call from a gentlemen asking me if I had a few minutes to take a survey over the phone about my recent purchase. I sure did, and I had plenty to tell him about the incorrect information concerning the engine/transmission availability. I had been referred to this particular salesman by a co-worker, who came up to me at the office several weeks later. The co-worker told me the salesman called him in a panic, said his boss called him on the carpet and threatened to fire him over this survey, etc. I was very disappointed in both the dealership and the truck(underpowered), trading it in less than a year. But I had no idea a single survey had so much power, at least it did 15 years ago. On a side note, I am currently serving in Iraq and time spent on Edmunds takes me away from this God forsaken place. Thanks to all of you... | |
