| - Typical car salesman....pushy and arrogant!! I went in to look at and test-drive the new Elantra. After walking around the lot looking for one, the salesman said, "I guess we don't have any." He claims they are a hot item and they're sold right away.
After going inside where he could get my information, I mentioned that I was looking for a standard transmission and he just about popped his lid. He said he didn't know if there were any manual Elantras. After finding out there were, he said he didn't know if they could get one. I said something about ordering on-line, and again he blew his top and said, "What am I here for?" I commented, "I don't know, I just came in to look at and drive a new Elantra."
My question is: If this were such a hot seller, wouldn't a dealer have a demo to drive for people like me who are specifically looking at this car?
All I heard from this specific salesman was that he didn't need my business because "I sold 26 cars last year." Well good for him, he's not going to sell one to me!
This is the second time I dealt with this dealership. I was in there last summer looking at a used manual Elantra. I test drove it and like it. When they offered a discount of $2000, I noticed the sticker price they showed on that written offer was $2000 more than what was plastered on the window of the car.
By the way, I went across the street to the (not even opened yet) Fiat dealer. They had the Fiat 500 demo right there to test drive, which I did. I am in need of a vehicle and I think I found my new car.
All it took was an available demo to drive and no pushy salesman. That's how cars are sold professionally!!
