Looking for a replacement vehicle for Perry, we first looked locally online. While some cars have a price, others say to “call for a price.” Even if you’re really interested, that is a set-up tactic, and I hate it. Once a salesperson has your number, they will drive you bat shit crazy.
Dude, we don’t want your car.
I know I’m awful when it comes to car buying — I wouldn’t want to be my salesperson. I know that dealers “pack” their cars with an amount to blanket cover all sorts of things. I know how to look up a car’s value. Having been in banking, I know about loan value VS retail value, etc. Please note that as a customer, I don’t care what you’re making — I care about what I’m paying.
We saw a vehicle online that Perry liked but it didn’t have a price. We called the dealership and the dude there gave me an amount that I felt simply wasn’t a good fit. That doesn’t mean someone else won’t pay it — it means that I won’t. Then he told me he was only making $1,000 (I call BS), and proceeded to text and call because he wanted to “earn me as a customer”. 4 calls and 4 text messages in less than 8 hours — dude… again… we’re not buying your car. STOP IT.
The hunt continues and I hate it.
I hate car shopping as much as those selling cars hate me. And much more than I hate rain…
I remember a time when Ben was car shopping when he was a kid and found something he wanted. The salesman called me… we talked… and then he asked Ben to leave the showroom because he couldn’t deal with his mother. Ooops! 🙂
Wish us luck on this car buying experience in hopes that we find something soon.
