Today my wife and I went car shopping, for the first time in both of our lives. I usually have bought cars from people I know or from friends of friends, and my wife has had the same care since she was 16.
Our first stop was a Dodge store, in which we were looking at the new Ram 1500. The salesman we were with, left us after 10 min to get the keys for a car, and we never saw him again. We then found the newest salesman there, who just turned 18. We took a Durango out, and it was nice, but not as good on gas as we would like.
Second we went to a Hyundai dealer, on the way up we hear there call out for new customers, and people flock to us like we are a piece of meat." Assistance needed in lot 2" This guy was nice, but a typical salesman, let me tell you I can get you the best deal, and stuff like "I just do this for fun, I don't really need the money, just here for the benefits." They had a nice car, but a little out of the price range.
Third we went to a Honda dealer, and the highlight of the day came when the 20 year old sales man told my pregnant wife how a pregnancy scare works. "Well you know my girlfriend was late, and by late you know I mean didn't have here period, and I am just to young to have a kid. It can just happen...." I almost started laughing, because I am sure my wife knows how that works and all, but the fact that he said missed her period was just so funny....
That pretty much summed up my day, but they just like to waste your time, and I have meet everyone's manager, and have already got follow up cars. I hate the pressure of car sales.
@bigram13 Thank You for interacting with my comment on the @steempickem posting, I knew someone would support me for taking a KNEE on the NFL this week...........I know how that car shopping stuff goes I have not had to do it for 20 years.

I went to look at cars when I was in my mid-20's. The salesman turned out to be a guy I knew (not well). I found a car I liked and he asked me how I intended to fund my downpayment. I made the mistake of telling him that I had some cash and that I was going to be able to borrow from a relative. We talked and it turned out that I would be able to use only my savings (without having to borrow more) and I'd still get a reasonable monthly payment.
Before I handed over my cash the salesman insisted I take the car overnight to ensure that I liked it and it would work for me. I didn't want to but he kept insisting. I caved and took the car. When I came back the next day to finalize the papers he tried to tell me that our arrangement wouldn't work after all and that I would have to borrow money. I told him I wouldn't take the car then. I apologized for wasting his time and told him I was going to have to stick around for a few minutes until I could find someone to come and give me a ride home. I went to get the few things that I had left in the car. That was when he decided that he could probably make it work at our original agreed price.
I understand your troubles. I knew that salesman when I walked into the shop but needless to say, we never became friends. Car hunting is insane business.

I feel your pain, we haven't even talked about price yet on a car, and I already am getting the run around, like well this is the price, but let me talk to my manager...

Hopefully ya’all welcome a sorta lengthy response but @bigram13 just reminded me of a car shopping adventure I recently was sucked into. A few years back I did the car shopping thing, took me a couple weekends to finish it up. Man I was set on the Lincoln MKZ. This is after I learned my lifelong wish of owning a Cadillac came to an abrupt end once I drove the XTS, STS, CTS, ATS, turbo, non turbo, you name it.. my summary is Cadillacs suck! All they do is stop good, just cuz of that I no longer want to build an 69, very disappointing. But anyway after driving and shopping every America ‘named’ not ‘made’ car, I fell in love with the Lincoln MKZ. I told the dude “keep my payments under $540.” That’s all I asked, I didn’t think it was a big deal. After a few of his failed negotiations he actually said the best he could do was $546. I tried helping him understand that 546 and 540 is $6 off but he wouldn’t budge. So I left! What I ended up doing was fixing my car for substantially less and I still don’t have a car payment which is obviously a blessing but ya man, he lost that sale over 6 bucks. Funniest part is about 4 weeks later that guy actually called me and told me he got the price down to something like $530. “No thanks sir.”
