I'm going to pay another visit to the dealership, and let the sales
manager know:
1) How much I appreciate their low-pressure showroom staff
2) Just how much I dislike having some arrogant little twit
telling me I don't know what I want, and to instead switch
to buying what he happens to have on the lot.
Someone I know had a different experience.
He was driving along and though he might like to buy a convertible (he
does this). He stopped at a Honda dealership and asked to test drive
their convertible. He was dressed very casually at the time - shorts,
polo shirt, $2000 watch - and the salesman replied with "You can drive
it when you've bought it".
He just shook his head and went away. On his way home he passed a Mazda
dealership and saw a limited edition MX5 on display. They said that the
limited edition wasn't for test driving, but he could take the standard
model which drives the same so he could get a feel for it. he came back
from the test drive and pointed at the limited edition and said, "I'll
have one of those".
The salesman asked him to come inside to fill in the finance forms and
he just handed him his credit card and said "Just put it on this".
The salesman looked a bit shocked when he went in but was smiling when
he came out and said that the car would be ready on Wednesday.
