Getting the dealership run-around on test driving

TonyD · 11-18-2011, 02:05 PM

You never know what yer gonna get. I say find a new dealer....

For the Z my wife and I took the sale's manager's personal car (a loaner he was using) with about 4k miles on the clock and was told to go crazy with it. (Which I did). In the end the dealer was trying to sell that car as "new" because it had never been registered. It had 4k miles and EVERY single sheet metal panel had a ding or dent on it and 3 of the rims had curb rash.

I took a Subaru STI out by myself even though I was clear with the dealer that I was not buying soon.

Drove a Mazda 3 Speed and the sales guy came with me. Same with a few other cars.

Who knows what goes on in their heads?
