Weird experience at the dealer today
- Thread starter PROJECT321
- Start date
Well that's the other thing. I have been talking to Travis at Sunrise for the last week or so going over options, colors, availability, etc. and he has been nothing but professional and informative. That's another reason I was so surprised at the behavior of the local dealer. And I never mentioned to the local dealer that I was already working with someone else. Ofcourse they never gave me a chance. Oh well. Thanks again Blu for the recomendation of Sunrise Ford!
Pictures, you bet! We plan on using this car to develop a bunch of new
add-ons and dressup accesories so I will post pics of what we are working on from time to time. But maybe more exciting... I am trying to talk Dustin into letting me fit the new 4.0 compressor on it. Not even sure if it's possible yet.
There are some serious space constraints. We'll have to see.

I had a similar experience at Village Ford in Dearborn when I was there a couple of weeks back. I was in the lobby looking at the GT500KR and no one even approached me. I finally had to go up to the desk and ask if anyone could talk to me. Very non chalant and it seemed like they didnt want to sell anything. I left without a real conversation with a sales person.
Meanwhile I was in detroit busting my hump dealing with my customers there any way I can to keep my accounts alive and well.
Makes no sense.

Jake,
Mike and I were in the same situation in Fort Myers. They had 5 KR Models. Grey,Black,Red,Blue and Silver. The stickers were all around 47k and all had a 40k adp-additional dealer profit added on. We were in two seperate Lexux SUVs and were not approached. As we finally left a salesman on a golfcart meandered in our direction. To little to late.
Still waiting for the GT Valve covers, no pressure here buddy. Tony/Paced

I'm kinda astonished by some of these reports.:eek
Around HERE (unless someone pulls up in a car they're literally LIVING IN) the average person usually cannot place his left foot on the ground before a salesman materializes seemingly outta nowhere. :willy
'Only dealerships I've noticed where the sales people consistantly have an aloof attitude are the ones with a rearing horse or a bull over the door...though I've been in a couple of those where that's NOT the case, too.
So, I guess what it all boils down to is: if a salesman approaches us - he's being pushy. If he DOESN'T - we're being ignored!
Those poor people just can't win no matter WHAT they do!:lol

It surprises me that so many of you have had that experience! Even when I go to a dealership with high end cars and drive a car that suggests they are well out of my price range, there are usually 2-3 people who come up to me right away to try and offer assistance.

That's because most of the sales staff are men and you look much better than the rest of us! Of course if Sam shops for BMWs in SF he may get a lot of attention.
Speaking of which Smarty Pants, I went this morning to check out a Non-BMW at a BMW Dealership in SoCal. My two boys went with me and both were really upset they did not bring a camera along. Place was full of Queers with bizarre clothing looking at all the convertibles :ack:ack:ack. I could not stop my two sons from laughing so hard.
Thank God I brought the Hand Sanitizer....
