WOW just got told off by a dealer

I think this might be a sales tactic. The sales person attempts to make a potential customer feel like they aren't good enough to buy a vehicle so they'll then want it more, because what we want most is what we can't have, or so they'll buy it just to prove the sales person wrong.

probably so....but I wouldn't buy from them. I would hate to see their face again after they basically said **** off you young, '99 corolla driving, havn't-shaven-in-3-days, burger flipping customer. In the OP situation, is it that hard just to open the door to let him sit and then pop open the hood. Seriously its not that hard, besides most of the sales rep would be inside jerkn to porn on their iphone. When I went to Nissan I had to find a salerep....

I agree with this comment. The salesperson is trying to put you in a situation where a defensive or insecure buyer might want to prove him wrong. While it was definitely rude of him, sometimes the best thing to do is to try to ignore it and let them continue their rambling but just don't listen or believe it. Its all dependent on their sales approach, some like to intimidate, others try to lie, etc. When I was buying the Z back in June, the sales manager was making up all kinds of figures, for ex. saying the invoice was only $500 below the MSRP. Instead of calling him on the lie or yelling at him, I just pretended I didn't hear him and kept pushing him harder. At the end of the day, if your price is reasonable, they usually won't turn down the deal.
