Not really dumb or anything but I was at a mitsubishi dealer and my dad made the threat we are going to look at the civic, so the dealer manager made some bs lie about how his friend got into a accident in the civic and was bleeding pretty bad from his legs and that would never happen in the lancer. And then later my dad said something about 'dealers always have enough money to play around with the price' and the manager got pretty upset and made my dad apologize, anyways we did walk out with the mitsubishi.

While at a Mitsubishi dealership while back I overheard a salesman tell a customer that an Evo has the same engine as a Skyline R34 GT-R :bowrofl:. I got up and left.

Rolled into my local dealership to buy a supply of oil plug gaskets for my G and Z. Guy in a tie walks out and says "ready to trade your Z in?" Yah.

Nissan dealer looking at another 370: oh well I am taking it to the auction Wednesday and think I can get atleast the list price. (it sat on the lot for another month and they dropped the price by about 1500).

Bmw service department: we don't have anyone who can run a diagnostic in on Saturdays.
Me: you what? You know it's just literally printing a receipt and confirming the codes on Google right?

Service : we don't have a qualified individual on site

:shakes head:

Condition: Left side of vehicle is one INCH lower than the Right side.

Salesman: Oh, that's to compensate for the crown in the road. So your car rides level.
<-- Ignores @55hole and walks to service.
Dealer Service: Oh that's within spec.

:shakes head:

This happened when I was shopping for my Z 5 year ago in a Nissan dealer.

Me: I would like to test drive a Z.

Sales person: Are you going to buy one?

Me: (Being honest because I was also considering a S2000) Not sure. That's why I would to test drive one and see how good it is.

Sales person: We don't allow people to test drive the Z unless they are buying it.

I caught the service department taking my Z out. They were "diagnosing" my car as they were hauling *** to Burger King to pick up lunch in my car. I was totally thrilled they needed to rip on my car when it had a broken engine mount.

I'm never going back there.

My brother, a buddy who owns a performance shop, or myself are the only people that touch the car now.

I had just installed the Hawk brake pads on my car and was at the dealer for an oil change.
Technician says to me, "You know that aftermarket parts aren't manufactured to Nissan standards right?"

I basically ignored him, but felt like I should have said, "Yeah. I know that. They are better because the Nissan pads are Sh**".

You should have said: "You know Nissan doesn't make brake pads, right?"
