your experieneces with dealerships( HyundaiKia, others

[hjr]

Alright, I had went looking aorund recently at some dealerships. here's what I found (sales people).

1) Scion , around Dayton(OH) airport:
Car(tC) was great, the sales man, a "I am better than you" attitude(towards me and my Sonata/Hyundai).
The guy was belittling Hyundai during the test drive!

No wonder they have to try harder there to get customers(went there ebfore, and one guy called me 3 times in a few weeks trying to sell me a Prius a few years back, when I told him we were just curious/test drive).

That, combined with Saturday's experience, turned us away from them.

2) Chevy dealership: They have a take it or leave it attitude. Seems they do not try to sell you anything or be helpful at all.(maybe due to them seeing our Hyundai, they got an attitude? Seems ot be the case at most places).

I kjust looked at AVEO an not one person said a word, despite seeing me looking around.

3) Dodge: Same as above, when we looked at Cruisers. Strep outside of the showroom, look at you, (and I motioned for the guy) and he walked back indooors and ignored us, so we left.


Are all dealerships like this? Either they are arrogant and bad mouth your car, or ignore you?

There are many horrid dealerships, where the people take what they do very lightly.

But let's not ignore those whose are working hard to be helpful and the ideal dealerships....

a good dealership helps you out as a whole, about any cars... like the Mercedes dealership that told my family that their vehicle was not for us, and then some alternatives we might want to consider instead!

that last one that you mention was similar to a situation that happend to us in BMW dealer... we took an ad from a newspaper saying USD2000 off if the customer puts USD2000 down on a 3 series... well we went the suit came to us and said can we help you..? and my dad said yeah i would like to see this 3 series you have on special... the guy said you need to put down 2000 my dad said ok... and the guy said you need 2000 for the special.. my dad said ok... then again he said this is when you put 2000 down... and my dad said ok i dont care show me the car!!!... man was it cuz we didn't dress to impress..?man... and all of that happen while we were at the entrance of the dealer... we weren't even inside the showroom yet... i HATE NEW CENTURY BMW...
