I always enjoy how these threads become a pissing contest about how much of a boss people think they are

I contacted about 20 dealerships looking for a GT3 allocation and reached out to all the SoCal dealers since I'm in CA. Not a single one was rude; actually they were all super polite...They just wanted $20k-$30k over sticker but were nice as hell about it.

This thread deteriorated rapidly...
BUT.... OP speaks truth. I have experienced this myself in visiting local BMW dealers vs MBZ and Porsche and Lexus dealers. |

Greeted promptly, asked what I needed, and gave me a ride to the airport. I later asked for a discount on my work because I didn't take a loaner car and got a $100 off. I have not dealt with the sales staff. But while I was walking around the showroom looking at $100k + stickers, no one bothered me. Of course, the way I dress, they probably thought I was a homeless vet looking for a warm bathroom to sleep in. |

My local BMW dealer is fine, and so is the MB dealer.
In my experience the Japanese car dealers are the most arrogant POS idiots I've ever met. They all have this no haggle "our cars sell themselves" attitude. My family has had more issues with idiot dealerships at Honda and Toyota than we have ever had from BMW or MB. Even VW has been good to deal with.

He made me a decent offer and I took it. Personally, I will not tolerate the "I have to go see the manager" BS. It is possible to have a decent car buying experience but you have to be aggressive in what you expect and will tolerate from your sales person. |

I agree that Toyota and Honda can be real hard to deal with as they have a captive buying set that refuse to shop elsewhere.
I know a guy who shopped for the outgoing CRV a year or so ago, you'd think the dealers would be all over him with the new stock at the door but they all told him to go suck a bag of dicks if he didn't pay close to full sticker. |

Wow People think so badly of car sales guys. It all depends on the person. I know were i work 60k is pretty much the bottom of the pay scale with 100- 130k being possible for an above average sales guy. Theres multiple Car Salesmen not managers etc.. making 200k+ a year just in the small town i live in.
