Auto sales lulz
So I was ooot and aboot today visiting various stealerships because I fell in love with the Genesis Coupe. Wanted to make sure there wasnt something I like more, so I went sales surfing. First visit was to Langley Hyundai where I was met with a salesman with a speech impediment who I could barely understand, but he was a nice enough guy. Unfortunately they didnt have the car I want, so I cruised down the Langley auto strip, and for fun and comparison I stopped into the Wolfe Subaru. I walk into the showroom, and I thought maybe it was closed, since there was absolutely nobody around. I stood there for a minute, not a single person approached me, so I walked around the lot looking to see if they had any STi's, and maybe a salesman, finding nothing, I left my truck in their parking lot and strolled over to Bits'o'sushi across the driveway. I walked in, was actually acknowledged by a sales guy, but alas, he seems like hes a salesfail. I asked him about the Evos, as I know NOTHING about them, and I havent even sat in, let alone driven a base model Lancer. He gave me pricing on the different models of Evos, and I asked if they had any on the lot. He asked this broad that worked there, and she says "Oh, we are getting them on an order sold basis, so we order one when you buy it." I laughed out loud, and said, "Im not paying $40,000 for a car and not driving it first", and walked out of there laughing. I ended up heading over to Surrey Hyundai, and when I got on the lot, I didnt even know if they HAD any Gencoupes. I had to walk around to the BACK of the lot, to find 4 3.8 base and premiums. DO NOT WANT. Walk into the showroom as that place also seemed dead, and was approached by an asian chick who I could barely understand, and she tried to sell me on a car right there. I went along with it, and ended up leaving after about 10 minutes of her trying to get me to put down a deposit. Apparently "I need to sell my truck first" doesnt mean much to sales people. Its about what I expected though. I think I will be buying it from North Shore Hyundai, they dont seem like douche bags. I love car shopping, such a shitty experience. |
