Ricko @ Richmond Honda back when RSX/CRV just came out.

went tire kickin' there, just looking at the CRV, he came up
just having a convo, i asked this is the same engine as the
RSX? (at the time didn't it was a 2.4) his response

"i dono about them, but this one has IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Vtec"

also herd MB sales telling my friend's mom that CLK had 4wd.

went car shopping to get a car for my sister, went to a used dealership, with only one salesman working, and we were walking around..
and he comes outisde, and told us hes busy now, and he'll be dun in like 15 minuts, then he begged us to wait.
hes like please stay, ill be quick, ill give u a deal, just please stay

that's the place...

i went with my buddy to other places too, and one guy was like, "this car's only been here three days, and i already have an offer, this other car's been here a day."

my buddy told me later that he saw the postings in buy and sell a few weeks ago.

wow he's desparate.... :p

I have openroad toyota fucktard tell me that his RAV4 is better offroad than my sister's Vitara with mechanical engaged 4WD and ladder frame...

Yes I know it's not the best story but that's just.....stupid.

Haha, I've heard that one before.

a LONG time ago..i was lookin at prelude's ..and i went to 888 on kingsway( just to see the car that i want..make sure i really watned a prelude)...
yea so i ask the guy to open the hood...he does and then he stands infront of it to block me..and i see some frayed wires...hahahha and the funny thing is..he's trying to tuck it away...at this point i'm laughin in my head
so i ask him for the car history...he goes on about how it's no accident and it's only 16000 km..hahah
i ask him for the VIN...he says i have to put a 1000 deposit before he gives me the VIN...AHHAHAHA
so i tell him to give me 20 mins..to talk over...he leaves ..i look on the window for teh VIN..i call my frend who works for ICBC...
the car was at over 90000 clicks and it was a rebuilt..ahhahaha

Going to Miracle Auto Sales and telling me that their cars are in mint condition:haha: :haha:

But by answering yes to "Do you have E39" then he's implied that he knows what a E39 is!

my idiot friend bought an 2g eclipse. mistake # 1

he bought it from miracle auto. mistake # 2

they told him that it was a local car with no accidents. he believed them. mistake # 3

right now, its sitting in his drive way collecting dust because of crankwalk lol!!!!

Some place on King George

The mechanic said to my buddy

"Your B16A is fake, its just a single cam with a fake double cam valve cover"

next dealership across the street

Me "Is that rust??"

Sales Man "Dont worry about that, ill touch it up"

when referring to a civic si...."it hauls ass"

funniest shit ever

"My name is Triple H, and I am the World Heavyweight Champion."

I'm like, WTF? Someone's been watching too much WWE. Then I head over to another dealer in Richmond Auto Mall.

HAHA wtf, good thing u booked it.

PWNED. HAHAHA.

my turn lmao.

so i went to nissan/infinti in port coquitlam like 3 days ago.
i wanted to see if they could import skyline/240 parts directly from japan.

so the guy comes out and said

sales: "hey my name is XXXXXX, im the sales manager here, nice to meet u"
me: "hi there"
sales: "how can i help u?"
me: "oh i was wondering if u guys could order parts for the r32 skyline directly from japan?"
sales: "u mean the skyline that was made by ford?"
me: "oh ok thanks for ur help"

i jus booked it. wtf man? skyline made by ford? :O

actually.....jetta sedan are made in mexico.......only passat, touareg and all model of wagon form are made in germany.

Sales manager =/= parts manager.

You got owned by yourself.

This is a good thread, keep it up :)

I haven't had many opportunities for a story as I've always bought privately, however I was with a friend checking out one 240sx at some ghetto place in Surrey.

It was an '89 hatch, guy said the motor had been recently replaced with one from a '92 240sx (which would have been a DOHC motor) yet clearly this was still the SOHC motor. It also apparently had a new clutch - which felt like crap and was slipping after starting on a hill. The last ghetto thing about the car was a few small squares of duct tape around the engine bay. I peeled them back a bit only to find rust holes (lol).

Another story:

I was with another buddy who knew all about 240's and purchased one from this sketchy place in surrey as well. All he cared about was if there was much rust on the car, and the condition of the body/paint (both of which were decent) so the car was bought. On the way home we stopped at Wendy's and since we were in Surrey we locked the doors. After lunch we couldnt get back into the car... the key they supplied us with ONLY worked in the ignition, not in either door or the hatch. Also, there isnt even a key that DOES work for the doors, at all. Needless to say, the doors havent been locked since, which sucks.

a sales person said to me "you know this wrx has the same engine as the porsche boxster?"

me: what you talking about, the boxster is a 6cyl NA and this is a 4cyl turbo.

sales man: oh I was just testing you, you are pretty smart.

One Mazda salesman fell asleep during my test drive...

"the RSX is perfect for drifting"

"this Mach 1 Mustnag gets great fuel economy"

"all the gilrs will be looking at you in your tiburan"

"civics are fast"

of course civics r fast

Im not sure what crankwalk has to do with no accidents.

I was at the Toyota dealership, and told them I was going to go check out the Hyundai dealership up the road for Tiburons. The salesman from Toyota shows me a magazine article saying that the Tib is one of the 5 most unreliable vehicles for that model year. I go to Hyundai and ask the salesman about this. He says "Yeah, well the other cars on that list are Mercedes, BMW, etc. Those cars are worth 50, 60 thousand dollars. They're comparing the Tiburon to the Benzes, and those are VERY nice cars."

The article wouldnt have compared JUST the Benz, BMW, etc, to a Hyundai. I think you are the idiot for believing a Hyundai salesman.
