Dear Auto Salespeople;
I'm not really a hostile guy, but by the third lot and becoming the victim of my fourth swarm, I may be prone to snap.
I realize that you're working on commission and that some of you will not get paid, if I don't buy a car, but what percentage of people walk onto a lot and drive away with a vehicle? I'm going to guess that it isn't very many and most people are like us, they have a list of models they'd like to see and in our case, try-on. After all, we've got all these figures about head and leg room from Consumer Reports, but what do they really mean and how does it fit someone sitting in the backseat?
Through today's effort, we've narrowed our list down to two possibilities. More focused research will be done to compare and contrast these two options. We will also be checking the price difference between new and slightly used, plus now that we're familiar with your promotional packages, we'll be doing the math to determine the best way for us to pay for the vehicle. Sometime next week, we'll probably return to the city for a test drive and at that time, we may be willing to sit down and do the nitty-gritty.
Today was a reconnaissance mission. We needed to look at the actual vehicles and narrow our list. We will be buying something within the next couple of weeks. We've procrastinated too long and we need something larger for our family. No, Mr Toyota Guy, we weren't leaving the lot because we hadn't been assaulted by an over-eager salesperson. We sat in your option, pushed the seat all the way back and my knee was penned into a small area between the console and steering column. All of the vehicles are in a same price bracket, they all get good rankings and similar mileage. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do, if I don't fit.
