Also, saying a car is niche and that having to order shouldn't be a problem is pretty ironic. The whole idea of something being niche, IMO, is that it's unique and not something easy to find/get ahold of. Actually, the definition of 'niche' literally means "specialized variant" of a thing, in this case a car, which exactly fits a special ordered car.
I've seen people on this forum who said they winded up going with whatever color they saw and because they just wanted the car and some regret not getting some other color.
So the dealers were trying to help you make "the right decision".
But okay, let's complain about all the things.  |
How is a dealership helping me make the right decision by having me order a car I have never test driven? Seems to me that's just selling a car. The reason I want to see and drive a car is do I won't end up crying that I hate it. If I liked it enough to buy it I would have then ordered it in the color and with the options I wanted. Why are you taking the fact that I feel as a consumer I should not have to go out of my way to buy a companies product personally? I don't live in my mom's basement, hiding behind a keyboard bashing people I don't even know just because for some reason they feel emasculated if someone says something negative about the car they drive. I have life so yes 3 or 4 hours to test drive a car (any car) is too much. If your such a fan of the car great. Point out it's positives and if your trying to be helpful point out what they may find as negatives but let a person make up their own mind.
