Gilliangirl Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 This one was a 2003 but the bums sold it out from under me. I had put in an offer to purchase but when I went back yesterday it had a SOLD sign on the window. Now the sallesman isn't returning my call. I'm putting an ad on Craigslist for a pseudo-boyfriend to go car-shopping with me so I don't get taken for a ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have gotten better, but still not good. Whenever I go into a car dealer with my wife, they talk to me, even if the car is for her. We walk out.......

Gilliangirl Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Good grief! See, this is exactly why simple is better. I abhor all that fancy-schmancy doomahicky electronic stuff. I love my RX7, which is just slightly more than a go-cart. Manual steering, manual brakes, if the thing won't stop you just shut the engine off. Sometimes less is more.

You're my idol. I get a tap on the head from my boyfriend when I mention wanting to learn. One way to get respect when you go into a dealership is to have a list of questions. Ask your mechanic what questions he'd ask before even LOOKING at a car and write them down. I bring a notepad and write stuff. I quiz the sales people. They can't SELL if they're being interrogated. Interrupt any pitches with an observation of a flaw in the car ("mpg on this has to be horrid"). Basically, go in there like you're researching a murder. Don't even look at the guys and go all over the car like it's a crime suspect. When you're done tell them you have other dealerships to go to, ask for a card and go. If you're confident and did your homework, they'll refrain from "selling." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
