[QUOTE="Kraftei, post: 1322854, member: 30456"] I understand what a lot of you are saying, but being in sales I have to interject. I don't judge people based on their style of clothing or the vehicle they drive or how much they swear. Its a general overall sense of the client, an experienced salesperson will generally get it right although no ones perfect. Sorry, but if you look like a **** head I am going to treat you like one, 9 times out of 10 I will be right and for the 1 time I get it wrong I am okay with that because I saved my time on the other 9. New salesman and desperate ones will break all the rules and that creates cracks in the industry. Understand the salesman does not get paid unless you buy, if they feel you just want to test drive a vehicle and buy elsewhere, whats their incentive?, maybe you just want a joy ride ? Be truthful up front, slip them a few bucks for their time and test drive away. A lot of clients think they are being sneaky, a good salesman will see right through that. I personally have never had to slip anyone any money for a test drive, they simply appreciated the honesty, no one likes getting lied to.. When I bought my Hellcat I beat the Dealer up bad, the sales lady cut was only $150.00. I asked her why do the deal for so little money, she said she needed the stat as sales were down and she had never sold a Hellcat, a sale would be help full for future sales. I slipped her a tip the day I picked the car up, she did not know it was coming. The car arrived in Jan (winter here), when I got it home I realized there was cosmetic damage to the interior, no questions asked the saleslady had the dealer on it, they sent two mechanics to my home and they replaced approx. 4 interior pieces. Later I noticed a minor paint defect, they then sent a employee over to photograph and document the scratch in case I wanted to pursue it later.
