Does anyone else have the same impression that I do about car salesmen?
I know that some out there are good but it seems that the majority are soooo pushy!! They don't seem to get it that it is a big "turn off" and that you go in their lot with a different attitude right off the bat!! I feel my personality change when I enter a car lot and become very defensive. It also doesn't help that as a women the male salesmen "seem" to think that you are at a "disadvantage".
I am sooo mad... and it takes "alot" to ruffle my feathers...I bought a used Saturn about a month ago...took my time in looking around for a decent used vehicle. Being a single mom with alot of kids, I am really careful with my money and usually make wise decisions.
However, because I had made a few trips into the car lot where I purchased my vehicle, the salesperson said to me that they made a mistake on the price and that if I didn't buy it that day that it was going up 1,000 the next day. ......However, it had been on the internet under the AutoTrader for at least 3 weeks. Don't you think that they would have noticed it before the week that I actually showed interest in it? So, the salesman said "Are you going to buy it or what?" I ended up buying it but I just felt uneasy about the whole transaction. (stupid me, I should have gone with my intuition)
I have since not been happy with my purchase and, have been looking around for something else. I figured I would have to pay a little more but today was told, from someone that I know, that I got an "orphan"!! He said that I would never get my money back out of that vehicle and the salesman (that sold it to me) said as I walked out the door..."You got a great deal...you could sell that and get the same or more than you paid for it when you decide to sell it....Yeah right!!!!!!!
I am tempted to call them to ask what he meant by that statement...I am just past the 30 days. I really hate this vehicle now that I was told today that I got an "Orphan".
Any Advice??????
(What really makes me mad is that they knew that I was a single mom)
