They told me that there were only about 10 Suzukas on the West Coast. I must have seen all those 10 people in the first 2 months of ownership. Du-maas-es.

 

"I know it is a 93 with 100,000 but it's mint!"

"It has never been in even a minor accident" as the salesperson put his hand over the paint oversprayed onto the window rubbers ....

"Just one owner." after the carfax showed there was three.....

"I don't know nothing about that!" when asked about the branding on the owership marking it as an insurance writeoff...

"I don't hear nothing. Had a certified Honda mechanic just check it over and he said it was perfect." as both stood there listening to the piston slap.....

"Bought it off the local dealer right here in the city." This despite the out of province sticker on the back......

"NO WAY! I'm telling you that is the original engine!" Despite the wreckers crayon on the block with the year 2001 on the 2002 car....

"Oh chit guys I'm sorry. I misread the title and thought this thread was about the bullchit customers said to the dealer. Lol....when there is money changing hands I have also heard it said "buyers are liars." And it rhythmes nicer!

 

"This Miata has a 6 cylinder"

Me- why does the sticker say 4cyl?

He pops the hood "oh I thought this one had the 6 well I guess we could order one"

 

when i was looking to buy my spec-v

salesman- this car has a nitrous system on it, once you get above 5,000rpm it really kicks in, "you can really hear it"

after looking at the car it was stock with an intake.

me- no the sound your hearing is secondary runners opening up giving it that deeper tone.

salesman- no im almost positive its nitrouse

me- show me the bottle

salesman- (pops trunk) mmmm, i think the previous owner hid the bottle

me- have a nice day
and walked away



by the way this was at colonial nissan in fairless hills, i do not recomend buying a car there.

 

When looking at a used S2k, the sales lady says, "This car has got a great stereo system, see.." She proceeds to crank the volume all the way up on the stock stereo and nearly blows out the speakers lol.

 

Not a sales comment, but the service advisor after scheduled maintenance..

"we changed your oil, new filter, topped all the fluids, checked pressure and rotated your tires...."

 

Don't be so afraid of speed bumps. Next time do us all a favor and rid the world of a few jack-ass car sales-pukes.

Many years ago I was looking at Camaros. The only manual transmission one they had on the lot was purple. I asked him to search for a different color for a possible trade. He didn't want to do it, but offered to install TEAL pinstripes. I am not sure how TEAL pinstripes would "butch" up a purple car, but whatever. He continued by telling me if I found the "perfect" house, I should buy it no matter what color it was. I said, ok YOU go buy a purple house, and then we'll talk. Then I left.

 

when i was looking at a used 2002, i asked why there were no side badges:
"honda didn't have badges for the S2000 that year"

ps- grand honda in elmhurst, IL sucks

 

When I was looking at getting my S i went and talked to the salesman that sold my brother his new Civic EX Sedan. I told him I wanted to get a S and i'm sure inside he was laughing thinking i'm some young kid. He then told me that I should get the new Si and that it was faster and better looking then the S. I never went back to him again.

 

"You guys have an S2000 on the lot?"
"no we don't but you might really like the Accord coupe V6. Its a lot faster."
"No." I laughed and turned around
Not as funny but offensive. An accord? I came to look at an S2000 and won't settle for something else.
