I understand the pain dealing with dealers....not all are like that but unfortunately they are out there....personally, I find it tough for salemen to take me serious while shopping for more expensive cars (bmw, mercedes) just because I'm younger....BMW of Riverside, CA, 2 salemen ignored me while I made my way through the door, the 3rd greeted me, I guessed he got no choice since I'm nearly in front of him.....I can tell he wasn't enthusiastic enough, didn't even opened door or let me sit in the car I was looking at, well I left...
The followed week, Savage BMW in Corona, CA, I was dead set at a "08 M3, after half an hour hanging around, I finally found a saleman not too "busy" to talk to me....I would like a short test drive, and his response is, "you can't test drive it unless you agree to buy the car first"....hmmm, I failed to see his logic...I argued, how the hell would I buy a car w/o touching it first, he said " it is an expensive car so they don't let anyone drives it"....I walked out in front of his face......
Ended up got a 330i from South Bay BMW.....
This was 4 yrs ago so hopefully they changed their practices.
