My first car dealer visit.
Thursday, September 8, 2005 @ 2:20 pm by -DS-So, yesterday I went to two dealers, Honda and Toyota.
Toyota
The guy that attended me was a little too quiet, he limited himself to show me the car and that’s it, I was expecting for him so say something and since he didn’t said anything, I left. The car was really spacious on the inside and kind of pretty, I like it, a LOT, but the targeted price was a lot more than I was planning to see, anyway, that doesn’t matter because I know I can get a good deal I have the upperhand because I am paying in cash.
Honda
I droved the Civic Sedan, it felt pretty solid and stable, but, the brakes have a slow reaction time. I felt pretty uncomfortable because the car is really cramped, more so than my Accent which seemed impossible. The salesperson here was more interested in me, asked a lot of questions and because of that I felt like asking questions too, maybe it’s because the salesman was a woman my guard was down. Anyway, I don’t like the car.
Keynote.
At the moment I told her that I got financing at the Pentagon her eyes almost popped out of her eyeholes, which means that I have some negotiating power.
Today I am planning to go to another Toyota dealer and see if they don’t ignore me. I want this car and I WILL get it at around 15,500 or less with all options. Beware mofo’s, because when I put something on my mind I make it real! >:-(

Aparentemente el vendedor de la Toyota que te tocó es:
a) Un mamao
b) Un pésimo vendedor
c) Estaba enfermo
ó
d) Estaba a punto de renunciar y/o cagársele en la madre a su jefecito
… yo no tuve esos problemas en la Toyota donde compré mi Echo, pero creo q te queda un chin chin lejitos (el dealer de Pepe Abad, en Cayey
)
Now, how about that car?

Sencillo. En la Toyota estan acostumbrados a que la gente no va en busca de comparar ofertas y los distintos carros en un price range. Entran simple y llanamente a llevarse un carro.
