Is it just me that it bothers me to see people sell car/parts in suits?

[NWFRS]

I would buy cars from these guys no matter what they were wearing.

She's prolly tired of you asking her to demo how to get in and out of an FR-S, too.

What do mean you want me to take you on another test drive? You have had the car for 4 months!

Really depends, walking into a luxury dealership Id expect a little step up in terms of clothing they wear. Similar to when you walk into a fancy restaurant you wouldn't expect them to bring you a lobster in cut off shorts , flip flops and a tank. On another note some mechanics are the biggest thieves I've ever met. I think you might just have a stigma against a suit..

In something like Lexus it probably would make sense to wear a suit but I assume 95% of the buyers on a weekend with their family in the dealership would probably be wearing tshirts and jeans.

Imagine yourself walking in a dealership where everyone is wearing a suit, you and your family are wearing casual tshirts and jeans. Of course they won't give you the look because you are their valuable customer but you would feel uncomfortable by the atmosphere.

It's similar to walking in a fancy restaurant dressed casually.

In the UK it is the norm for the front of house staff in car dealerships to be suited & booted. It's not uncomfortable - they're at work and wanting to present a professional appearance to the customer, you. Some of the luxury dealerships get a little snotty if you're in casuals but it's there loss as you simply go to another one. Sometimes it's the whole dealership but other times it's a particular sales exec. It's always funny walking into a dealership for the cars break-in service & saying 'hi' to the salesman who got all snotty at you.

Nice perspective of the original analogy, I guess I agree to some extent but often I think it really depends on the level of comfortability? I know a lot of indian people who go in wearing their business's uniform on and dont mind at all. Different strokes I guess!

other than a female(more you show, the more I'll buy), how many of you are being "tricked" by someone in a suit?

Wearing nice clothes/suit is professional. You wanna see a new product shown off by a dirty mechanic? Would that complete the fantasy for you?

Especially during the hot aussie summer.

sad to see that people associate suits and stiffs. Class > Swag.

suits > polo and dress pants. The latter screams, "I work a retail or low service job".

Yet then again our global double standard has preferred women's dress as more business-like than not in most upper service/retail environments

I'm surprised no one has asked you to point a dashcam in your car for your next dealer visit yet.
