I went to two dillerships today.

Let me preface this by saying, I went to both, stated I wasn't going to buy, and just wanted to look.
I am a polite :melon:

GMC:
Went and test drove an SLT (Which I'm considering)
And talked numbers, with options and the possibility of ordering.
After about 15 min, I had talked to 4 different sales managers, and before I left, I had to say "No, I'm just looking." several times.
:dillerman: trying to :dill: hard.
When I was leaving I was surrounded by 4 sales managers.
:bruh: :dillerman: pushing the hard :dill:
Not super annoyed, just super pushy.

I left and went to a Chebby :dillerman:

Chevy:

Same speal, I said I just wanted to look in a Z71, see how much I liked the interior, and trim.
Salesman and I walk out, he's bitching about his hurt foot, sorry breh, take the golf cart?

We get in the truck, I look around, and play with the Infotainment, basic bitch shit.
He gives me a few options on the packages, and I goto shake his hand, and thank him for his time.
Me: Let me get your card, so I can get in tough with you
Him: Man! I ain't got no cards, it's Saturday, I'm out here to sell cars!

He rushed out, and then walked off to talk to another customer.

:bruh: I am a :disappoint: :melon:

I imagine that to an extent, :dillerman: goes :flaccid: when you come in asking for a Colorado/Canyon because there's just no room to :dill: Hard sell or no sell pretty much.

Still... :dill: s will be coming. Be patient mah :melon:

Having a blue sports cars that recently ate a diff, and another blue car that's eaten two!, I feel your pain. Hopefully the whine is nothing (I didn't read the whole thread so, my bad if I missed an update) since that look of sadness on your face at the overlook made me sad. I know that feeling.

Ehhh. For you or me, sure.

Say you're a new college grad starting a $40k/year job, no money from parents. How do you come up with $2,500 for the car that you need to get to this job? Also, you or me or most people here could work on an old $2,500 car, many people can't. And really, a reliable $2,500 car is rare. Let's remember your Vibe and Alan's Corolla were bought for more like $6-8k and you have kept them on the road. He's getting rid of it because it's beat to shit now that it's worth $2,500.

Financing is a wonderful thing when done right that is sometimes required in this country. As Max said, people just need to be aware of the big picture, not just the payment amount.
Finance $5k car at stupid interest rate, claim exempt on income taxes and pay the whole thing off in 3 months, then actually save fucking money so you never have to do that again? Maybe spend some weekends learning how to change a light bulb and use a lift thingie instead of spending $100+ a weekend on artisanal kombucha cocktails?

Life doesn't have to be an endless treadmill of making payments on everything.
:lolol: Tell me about this kombucha.

Doesn't seem likely. :caspian: was incapable of posting about anything other that his rants, this guy talks shit and talks cars, and posted a video of a decidedly not-79 year old as supposedly being himself.

Those like two posts were literally the only ones he could muster up that didn't include some rant content.
