New car shopping sucks.
Yes, my car is less than a year and half old but I suddenly have this urge to buy an SUV. And since I have an obsessive personality, I have to have an SUV RIGHT NOW!!! So yesterday I went to test drive my new found love- a Nissan Xterra. *sigh* He's so dreamy :o)
The test drive was great. The salesman was great. Then we got down to business- negotiating. And well, they saw a young girl alone in a car dealership and figured I'd be totally clueless and an easy sell. So when I started asking too many questions and causing the salesman to run back and forth between the manager and me the Dickhead Manager (DM) got a little annoyed. I mean, who was I (the consumer about to drop way too much money on a car) to ask questions??? So DM summons me to his super secret enclosed-in-glass-because-I'm-too-good-for-a-cubicle-like-everyone-else office. And he proceeds to talk down at me, snap at me when I ask a simple question, and freaking avoid answering my questions at all. This douche bag actually expected me to blindly enter into a deal on this car without being fully knowledgable of the terms, pricing, trade in, etc. Then when I asked to have the figures written down so I could go home and think about it he got super pissed off. It's not like I asked him if I could borrow the car for a few days or something. I mean, get over your sleazy self for God's sake.
And the funny thing is, they must need the sell. Cause less than 24 hours after I'd been verbally assaulted by the manager, the salesman called to see how my thinking was coming along.
Fucking twats. Don't they know I religiously watch every season of The Apprentice?
