No **** there I was...I pull into a dealership in Jackson tn in my Z (see below for mods all current at the time this happened) with my mom because I let her drive mine and she loved it so much she wanted to by one herself. So we get out and they have a 2012 touring and they ask me in all seriousness...So do you want to trade your car in for this one here. I look at him like dafuq O_o?!?! We then tell him that my mom was actually there looking for one and wanted to know how much they are asking for it. They would not give us an asking price or any price for that matter. They pretty much acted like we couldn't afford it so we just left and she went to Memphis the next day and looked at them and ended up buying a Miata...that's when I disowned her lol just kidding.

It's funny when people complain about salesmen not knowing the product. It usually doesn't translate to a lower transaction price for those that know more about the car. Learn how to negotiate and it will get you much further than product knowledge.

This is one thing that I would very much like to get better at. I'm actually a good salesman and I can negotiate, but I no nothing about auto pricing and where the inflate the prices, so I don't know what's reasonable to fight them in and what's not.
It basically goes, I want a lower price, they say no,it's below msrp (or whatever) and I don't know what reasons to quote as to why they should do what I want lol.

I will say that when I bought my wife's audio A4 they tried to put a $990 "dealer document fee" in there. Googled it and found that it was just a bs markup so I called them on it, got it taken care of. Ended up getting a 2007 Audi A4 with 35,000 miles in great shape for $18,000. Not to bad but I wonder if I could have done better...

Zdayz 2014!!

Went to one dealership for my first oil change and he told me I should consider getting new tires pretty soon.
He said they were at like 4/32nds. He SUGGESTED THAT I ROTATE THE TIRES LOL.
go foward about five months for my next oil change and somehow my tires got some thread back or something.
I had like 8/32nds
wow .

When I was in search of my Z, I specifically told the salesperson that I'm looking for a black Z. He brought out a cherry Z and told me they look pretty much the same in color.

When I was in search of a 350z, one of the sale person tried to look for the battery, he said the car battery is "internal".

I bought my 370Z at a Toyota dealership and they didn't know anything about it.
Test drove a GT-R at a Toyota dealership as well and they didn't know anything about it :icon17:

On a plus note my salesguy at the Porsche dealership that I bought my IS-F and 911 from knows his stuff. He said all the sales people are sent to Porsche driving school regularly and get to test drive various models.
When I was test driving my 911 he was giving me a bunch of driving tips and showing me what all the buttons and stuff do. Now that was a great salesman! No BS, no hassle, knows his stuff :tup:

My neighbor sells BMWs PT and makes good supplementary income doing it. He bought his 750 and 525 from Germany on two different occasions. Picked out what he wanted, drove it through Europe before turning it in for shipment back to the US. Tell me he does not know his shyte and I'll show you chicken with four wings.

When they brought it outside to put on the plates, 5/6 sales guys came out including a few managers and one of them asked if the 370z comes in auto:inoutroflpuke:
I told them yes, 7A:bowrofl:

I went to the dealership for an oil change when I first got the Z and brought my own oil (Pennzoil Ultra $30) and oil filter (Mobil 1 $10). The service advisor asks why I don't just use the factory oil and filter because its "all the same". I said how much do you charge for parts and labor? He said $85 total (give or take). So I ask him how much does labor cost? He said $12. I said well I guess its not all the same then...he nodded and I said do the math. He was still confused. :rolleyes:
