that is funny. when I was a young hotshot, I had just gotten a raise.
I had always wanted a Alfa Romeo Spider. so I went to a dealership
in Larchmont NY. now, you have to relize I was bearded, long hair, and
wearing not really respectable clothes...I started looking around, and
there was,I guess the big deal salesman, in fancy clothes, looks down
his nose at me, and calls a young girl, looked like she just started. I
guess
I was pawned off...but anyway, before I left, I had written a check for a
brand new alfa. I think the guy was burning...served him right.....
Another time, in the 70s, I was coming back to Connecticut from my
mother's place in Long Island... in jeans and an old ski parka. I
Stopped at the Mercedes dealer in Greenwich and went inside...... there
were maybe 6-7 salesmen along the edges of the showroom..... they all
pretended to be busy. I know they were just hoping I would leave. I sat
in a few cars, no one said anything, so I left.
I went outside and was getting into my car when a salesman rolled up
from lunch..... "Can I help you?" Hmmm... that's better I thought.
"Yes, I want a 300D, navy blue, sunroof, tan leather...."
"I have it over here....." we walked over behind the building and there
it was! The exact car I described, as if I had ordered it."
We walked into the showroom, the other salesmen all watching as I sat
down and wrote a check <g>
Considering my last experience, buying this truck, I have little use for
dealers right now...... what are you looking for?
