good catch :lol

WVW = Germany
1VW = America
3VW = Mexico

Regardless, the car Kumbo was referring to is a German-built vehicle.

*edit- deleted*
ops didn't read "USED" car sales... :p

was it John from Morrey Mazda in Northshore? LOL
he was pretty energetic when he was telling me his glory days in amature track racing back east!

hahahaha, laughing my head off, great salesman opening - line.

Ahhahaha....how did you know?

...or did you remember I wrote this in a post about 2 years ago?

I was looking to trade in my Jetta Wolfsburg for a C-class. and a while ago I found one at The Volvo dealership in the Richmond Automall.

So i showed up on a saturday, well groomed as usual, cleaned up my car so I was ready for a trade in that day.

I had to wait a long time until a sales approached me. I asked him if i can take a look at this c-class because I'm looking to trade in my Jetta. He looks around, and said

"sure, where are your parents?"

I was surprised to hear that to say the least, needless to say, I left.

what i should have said was:

"I don't know, where are your parents?"

i heard ONCE in metrotown mazda, i was getting my dad's old mpv service, and i was lookin' at the rx8, and one of the sales man come over and introduce me the rx8 and said "RX8 are DOHC engine with 250hp" and 5speed.

i was........ehhhhhhhhh...then i ask
"can the car faster then s2000?"
he said" can even beat a nsx on corners"

then i just leave... lol

my jetta wagon is made in germany...

umm ford did make the Skyliner in the 50's, where the entire roof goes into the trunk.

Vancouver Motorsports telling me that their cars are mint. and then showing me a pic of the car i was looking at prior to being rebuilt after i called him on it. nice.

and also, 2 honda dealerships told me i wouldn't want an EP3 cuz theyre standard. (because im a girl i guess?)

yeah.. but qbanyau doesn't know that much about cars.

Went to a ford dealership to look at the new mustang. The woman salesperson opens the hood and tells us,

"see all the fluids that are yellow? Those are the ones you have to replace"

"its got fire retardant insulation underneath the hood"

"the hood acts as a crumple zone"

All of those are fine and good, but you're not selling the car's safety features or to a mom who's looking for a mini-van. Crumple zones??? Plu-lease, what new car DOESNT have them. lol.

When i asked her what displacement the engine was (testing her) she had to look at the sticker to tell me it was a 4.6L :p

In this day and age of internet, what good are sales ppl?

You can (and should) get all the info on the net before you go to a dealer.

If you don't you are just asking the sales to rip you off.

And if you did why bother "testing" those poor sales :p

Actually, at least she wasn't dumb. She told the truth. Maybe she was a rookie. I don't think this is what this thread is about. If you didn't know anything about cars, then everything that she said is completely valid.

.

I was talking with my buddy the other day and he was saying that him and his girlfriend went down to vancouver to check out this 93 civic, the guy said it was a girls car who had gone travelling and stuff blah blah, so they negotiated a price of $4800, no accidents, well taken care of... So as my buddy goes to get the cash he says ah, whatever the dude sounds pretty trustworthy, but he went to go run the plate or the vin, or whichever it is at icbc... and the car had 12 icbc claims! including, multiple accidents over 2000$ stolen 3 times! and a total rebuild.....

hahah!!

Sales: So you drive that Benz?
Friend: No no, it's a rental
Sales: *uneased look* so what do you drive?
Friend: Integra

me and my friends walk into mazda in richmond auto mall.

long story short. he was looking to buying a new MPV.

anyway
my friend: can we take a look at the black MPV that is parked to the side?

sales: (in a fob chinese voice) buddy, u sure that is black?

(i look over again to the outside from the showroom)

me: yea looks black to me.

sales: Brothers! u guys need to get ur eyes check. it is green!...(trying to talk like a black guy now)

we:. ooo kkkk anyway can we take a look at it?

sales: the green or the black one?

by than we are like WTF ...

can you elaborate? i'm pretty sure he's right

Sorry, Bootymac. You're outvoted on this one :D

Looking at a 01 Grand AM GT for my cousin awhile back. The salesman said it was "tip top shape" so I do a routine check. I notice that one of the motormounts wasnt bolted onto anything... I than look at the oil and it was somewhat "milky" so hmm... I asked the salesman and he replied with "the headgasket went on a testdrive but its all fixed now" yeah... right. Nice milky oil... I asked about the motor-mount and he said it was how it was supposed to be. So... we went for a test drive and when we used the brakes, the ABS sensor went CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK... the whole car shook with vibrations. He said that was normal for a car of this age :rolleyes:

I told my salesman i wantCarbon Grey for my car...he was like, There's Carbon grey for your car?? I didn't know that...looks like you know more than me..

Haha, I was told the same thing at ocean park ford about an 05. Sold!

was just looking for the ad, and couldn't find it. But some dealership in van had a subaru legacy gt for sale...apparently this car had 6 cylinders and was fwd...funny...I always thought that car had a 4 cyl boxer engine with awd??

I wanted to call and see if I can get the car cheaper because I'm getting 2 cylinders less than advertised :p
