Sebring Silver- 98 Z-28 camaro
Got a laugh at the Ford dealership yesterday
So like most Sundays it's either do chores or be lazy and do jack shit, well, since it was so nice outside I said the hell with them both and went riding around in the Z. For some odd reason I like ridng through dealerships just looking to see what they have, maybe hoping for a deal on something. I end up at the Ford dealer which is a Roush dealer, thought, hell I'll look at some mustangs and see what there bringing. Sure enough this little dickhead salesman comes running out of the building, you guys know all about that I'm sure. Like a two year old running after a piece of candy. He saw I was driving a camaro and made a comment that I thought was funny, " Are you wanting to trade that camaro for a real muscle car? " I just kinda looked at him, Hell no, just looking at some stangs. So we look at a few and procede to the Roush lineup. Those 06 Roush's are nice looking mustangs but what got me was the $41,000.00 price tag for a stage one. He said, " I guarantee these cars have more power than that camaro, these are bad ass. "
O.k., he was really getting on my nerves by that point. So I take this " Roush " on a test drive, it's a peppy car, sounds great and drives good. Cool, but it's still a stock GT with a body kit and wheels. Basically I wasn't impressed. He kept going on on how these new mustangs were the hottest thing since Pamela Anderson and that the new concept camaro would still be inferior. I mean this guy was obnoxious. We get back and he asks what I thought, well, I looked him straight in the face and said, " This car sucks ass for forty grand, think I'll keep my money and go to the chevy dealer where they make real muscle cars. I hurt this idiots feelings, told him how I've smoked at least three of these new GT's in my old 98 Z-28. His reply was that they didn't know how to drive! I said, well, can YOU drive? He said yes so I proceeded to tell him to line that Roush up next to my camaro at the light and if he beat me then I'd sign the paperwork and drive it home right then. He backed out and made up some excuses so I left. Not bashing mustangs at all, just the salesman. Was an amusing evening

Makes you wonder where these dealerships find these fine salesmen. I thought it was funny too, guess he felt like an idiot

seriously though. If i was selling any kinda car, i wouldn't harp on a person's original car! that's a sure way to get them turned off. I'd only make fun of their old car if they did, ya know, read the signals. I would never BS a person like that. Proly why i wouldn't make it as a salesman.

not to be a dick but theres dealers in this country that are open on sundays? i know the dealers i have worked at arent. yes the stage 1 is a rip off for 40 grand, it does the same 13.5 a stock gt does. but the supercharged roush is pretty f'in quick. u just pay. only rich snobs by tuner mustangs though. your always better off buying an svt or building one up yourself. and another ques, what muscle cars does the chevy dealer sell? are you cross shopping a mustang with a vette? thats a sports car is it not. do you consider the cobalt ss a muscle car?

I never understood the logic behind not being able to test drive a vehicle because its "Too expensive or fast" then why am i going to buy the damn thing?
Also how do they sale any damn cars if thy have no idea what they are talking about.
