Went to my local Honda dealer to trade my MY2004 for a MY2006. They told me they would be happy to give me great deal on a MY2005. I explained that I really wanted an 06. They said the boss wouldn't be getting any 06's in until the 05's were all sold. I was like . I said it sounds as if you don't want to sell me a car. No, no...we really do...as long as it's an 05. Can't you get one from another dealer??? Afraid not So I went to the next closest dealer and drove off in my 06 a week later . Seriously

I had a fellow at a Mazda dealership tell me that the Miata was FR and the S2000 was FF.

I went to a local dealership they own both nissan and VW lots. My gf was looking at jettas and gti's while i was last lookin at 06 350z's. so the sales guy comes up and tells me it has lambo doors.. i was like cool then he went on to tell me it was turbo.. so i said can i see it... he popped the hood and it was stock.. he said yea you see that metal cover.. the turbos under there, they hid it so no one knows about it. I didnt even bother to ask why there was no piping, intercooler, or signes of engine mods. i just walked back to my car

If I'm a salesman trying to sell a car to Quasimoto, I'd tell him he's good looking, too.

A few years ago, shopping with the ex to replace her Explorer.

The guy at the Nissan dealership asked what we were trading in and upon learning what it was, he said "oh, the 'exploder'?"

My ex got pissed. Needless to say, the wise crack didn't earn him a sale that day.
