What makes your experience different is the personality of the salesperson. One person may not have the same experience as another person if they're talking about the same dealership because they dealt with two different sales consultants.
I'm 22 years old but I take every customer seriously. I've gone on a lot of BRZ test drives and I don't even take the dealership route...I take them to the twisty roads because that's where you truly experience the car.
If a person doesn't want to buy the car, all I do is give them my business card and wait for them to call me. I don't even ask for their number unless they ask me if I want it.
Everyone is different. It's too bad you're out in Florida. I'm positive I could give you an experience you'd never expect especially since I'm an enthusiast for the car  |
well if you're serious and can actually buy the car do the following.
go on truecar.com and get a price for the car. it will give you dealers in the area that they participate with and likely a couple will call/email you. pick the one you like the best and go there. tell them that's the price you'll per the website and if they don't you'll walk. this only matters if you're actually willing to walk and have all your ducks in a row to buy the car right there.
that's what I did and it was so simple I thought I was missing something. I had an idea what my car would trade for and told him a reasonable number for it. now the dealer I bought from was not a "truecar" dealer. didn't matter. I called up the dealer and asked the receptionist who her favorite sales person was and buttered her up a bit so she'd shoot me straight. when I finally talked to the guy I broke it down from him. I told him the truecar price I'd pay and that the other dealer offered to do the same but the sales guy was kind of a douche' but money talks so if he wanted to play ball I'd make this the easiest sale he's ever had. he agreed to all my terms. I went down to sign everything and picked up my car the next day when it came in.
easy as pie. we're buying Subarus/Scions not vintage collectable Ferrari's. the price point should be all but set in most any market.
