seems par for the area... when my brother was camaro shopping.. they tried showing him everything BUT a camaro... dad went suv shopping.. told them he didnt want a van due to the engines sat so far back under the firewalls.. they kept trying to push a caravan on him.. we tried telling them we work on our own vehicles and like the room you get to work on them with of the longer nosed vehicles.. their excuse for showing us vans "you only have to change the plugs ever 100K miles.." stupid idiots didnt seem to get the point.. why i hate car shopping...

 

Well with experiences like that I understand why you hate it. My thoughts are that they were probably on the lot for a while and had a flat on them. So the salesmen make more money if they sell it.

 

was older.. had a smug look on his face the whole time like HE knew better what i wanted than i did.. table we sat at was on the back side of the show room closest to the windows on the right side (if your looking towards the front of the building).. had a couple salesman awards on his desk...

 

bingo..... found the card burried on my desk.. Bill Minyard.. "Senior Sales Associate"

kew i had it somewhere.. im a card junkie... tend to collect them..

 

It's funny you say that name cause as soon as I read smug look I knew it was him. He always has that look. He's snaked some sales from me. If you come up there I'll make sure you don't deal with that problem again.

 

maybe when mom goes to get another car... she doesnt like the impala she has anymore.. but till dads cars paid off she wont get another... she wanted a flex at one point... but its been discontinued

 

one of the tires i was wanting replaced before id buy it... the gouge was so deep in the tire i could literally see the shiny steel belt inside... there were 2 tires like this on that truck... he tried telling me they were fine...

 

I have no clue. Considering it was $70K I guess he didnt think I could afford it even when I pulled out my checkbook. Needless to say, I worked him over like a man on fire put out with a wet chain.

 

I haven't heard anything on the flex being discontinued. If it is, I'm about 90% sure manufacturers have to have parts available for like 10 years.

 

Man, that's insane. I treat him everyone like they have a million dollars. Even the teenagers. How do I not know they aren't some teeny bopper Ive never heard of? My grandfather once went into a Harley davidson dealership looking like a hobo. He had $50k in cash and they turned him down. They didn't know he had it. So he went to Cadillac and bought top of the line and then drove to Harley Davidson so they can see what they missed out on. Of course this was years ago before Cadillac's started reaching almost $100k.

 

1st rule of sales. Everyone is a potential no matter what they look lie.

 

last i heard 2014 was supposed to be their last year.. she liked the flex cuz it was one she could recognize... and it had a refrigerator in it...

 

Good morning Ginians, happy Humpeth Day!

 

As far as I know it's not. In fact, I think theyre adding a few colors.

 

Morning Virginia.
