This Car Buying Thing is Getting Fun!
Car dealerships (or at least their employees) seemed to be baffled when someone walks onto their dealership driving a 2005 Camary (my parent's car) to test drive used cars they don't intend to buy. It seems to baffle these dealerships (or at least the people who work in them) that no matter what is said, these used car test drivers aren't interested in buying for months. Yet, these car dealerships (and their people) accept in the end that neither my friend and I are interested in their cars. It takes three hours (three dealerships, two test drives, and no sales) to escape from their grasps after they question (so many times that I lost track) whether or not we were certain we didn't want to buy today.
It was just an experement, to test drive the cars we were thinking about maybe driving someday. A little extra research, but not an invitation to pitch your loan offers to me. Both times we stated the fact they we were just driving a too see if maybe, three months down the road, we were interested in buying these car. Three months, someting we stated up front, from buying any cars.
These sales pitches weren't really something that annoying. We got to practice saying no. Good practice saying no. And we both learned, New Beattles aren't as comfortable as you think, but PT Cruisers are nice to sit in. I may be turning my eyes on those form now on. They sit high and handle like a compact car. Gives all the comforts I like in cars (like stoarage and roomy cabins) and don't handel like a station wagon or a mini-van. That and they look cool, but that's only a small factor.
