Dealer says "grinding into second is not abnormal"

oh, i wouldnt have ventured that far out anyway, but honeslty, a lot of them are really incompetent on LI. I went to test drive a NISMO at massapequa. i had scheduled the test drive a week prior at a specific time. i get there to test drive that car as it was the only manual at any dealer i called, and its sitting in the middle of the show room, and the spend an hour trying to convince me that i can just test drive the automatic and its the same thing. then they spend a half hour getting it out of the showroom, and the battery is dead. if i stalled it, it woudn't turn back on. of course, i stalled it 1/2 mile from the dealer. 1/2hour later they finally bring a jump box, after first bringing just another car to jump it. total waste of time.
