Hello guys, First off thanks Don for coming in. It was good to meet you and the wife. Sorry, you guys had to be late to the beach day, and that my retail guys attacked you.

I will mention here that even if your at my dealer just to look at my FR-s please make the receptionist aware that you are here to see me(Nathan). If I am available I will jog right down and greet you. Otherwise Retail Salesmen Attack!! (This is for everyone not just you Don.)

I will ask this question, Could any of those guys answer your questions?

Just came back from doing some chores & went to local Toyota SCION dealer... I gotta say, they made it into my blacklist in very unique way. No they didn't raise the price... no, they didn't go crazy on me... it was unique experience no less

Got into the parking lot. I see about 6~10 sales ppl hiding in the shade (don't blame them, it's hot outside ). Got out of the car and walk towards the building, I was kinda worry that all those guys gonna tackle me (lol)... but reality, every single one of em ignored me. I'll admit, I wasn't "well" dressed. c'mon, I just barely came back from Home Depot & other home improvement stores, I'm wearing tshirt & jeans. So I go into SCION side of the door, I see one sale rep talking on his phone, so just waited til he finish talking to ask him about FR-S. He saw me and lil bit and walk outside... well, I guess that's out of question then. lol I looked around iQ & few other display cars for 10mins. No sale rep say hello or nothing. Maybe I was wearing invisible camo or something LMAO

After 10mins, I just went to front desk to ask for some rep for SCION. She just a dude sitting playing w the phone for 10 mins (or maybe more) to help me. I just asked simple questions. 1. Are you guys getting any FR-S? 2. If they're all reserved, how long is waiting time? 3. What options does it come with & how much gonna be?

I gotta say, & not to be rude to that sale rep guy, but man, it was funny watching him. I can tell heat or work is beating him HARD!!! He didn't even have any excitement or any energy or maybe he had a hangover. lol It was one of the hardest 10mins not to laugh.

He did answer all of question (kind of) & yes, they're selling it MSRP no mark-up BS (which is good thing), but all the info was given by website. I was like "thanks, but I could of found out at home"... BUT they don't give a ****. After chat around w that guy, I walked out of the main door (w all those sale reps front) and noticed a lady walking towards me, I said hello passing by while all those morons keep chatting themselves. lol

I was like wow~ I'm glad they didn't bug the crap out of me nor mark-up the price... but IDK how they gonna be selling ANY car in general. I'm not saying every single sale reps need to say hello, but ignoring might not be a good idea. lol I had a better experience w Karl Marlone Toyota SCION. When & IF I do buy FR-S, I'll prob hit up Karl Marlone Toyota SCION.

I'm in sales (not car sales) and I once heard that...

Sales is the easiest, lowest paying job, or the hardest, highest paying job.

Doesn't sound like they were very "hungry" and first impressions in sales is everything.

Yeah, few yrs back, my step-father bought truck from them & gotta say, they had a good experience, so thought to check it out myself... but maybe they like "older" ppl, I'm still end 20's lol
