Yeah, you sound like a nice guy. Go to a car dealer if you're looking to buy a car. Otherwise, stay home and read a car magazine.

Cool story bro

Wrong forum, bruh

Just an hour? You sound efficient.

I spent ~3 hours when shopping for my FR-S at a dealership when the guy tried to get me in a 535i instead. I let him run his game, call all his managers, then walked out after 3 hours. It was hilarious.

That price offered doesn't sound too off actually...

Demandred7 · 12-07-2014, 08:56 AM

Maybe it's just me, but, isn't the OP more unhappy about the trade in price for his 10 Series than the price of the RC?

Braces · 12-07-2014, 09:07 AM

Unless I'm serious about buying a car ... I don't want to waste my time or the salesperson's time.

This just in: Dealerships want your money.

More at eleven.

Demandred7 · 12-07-2014, 09:21 AM

I think that if you are talking to a salesman, just be straight up with him that you are just toying with the idea and not necessarily looking to buy. At least you are saying that if a more prospective buyer comes in, don't waste a better opportunity for a sale. Then the onus is on the salesman how much time he invests.

How do you know he wasn't looking to buy?

illest86 · 12-07-2014, 12:59 PM

More like you spent your own hour getting an evaluation on your car.

This is just weird.

Lexus dealers love people like you as much as most people like car dealerships.

And I for one don't really understand why. He went into a dealership to test drive a car he had some interest in buying and to find out what kind of deal he could get. The deal wasn't good enough, so he walked. That happens every day.

These people saying he shouldn't have visited the dealer if he wasn't 100% ready to buy aren't making any sense. How is he supposed to know if he wants the car if he doesn't test drive it? How is he supposed to know what kind of deal he can get if he doesn't ask? How is he supposed to know which car he wants to buy if he doesn't test drive and ask about all that he's interested in? If there are five cars he's interested in, is he expected to buy all five of them or not bother the salesmen? I suppose the people criticizing him must have just bought the first car they test drove and took the first deal offered to them without shopping around.

A good salesman isn't going to mind taking the time to talk with this guy and let him get to know the car. They can't know who is ready to pull the trigger and who isn't, so they're going to cast the net wide and accept that most of the people who walk onto the lot are not going to buy. But if OP does decide to buy, that salesman has already started a relationship, and it will be worth that hour if OP comes back later and wants to negotiate.
