You have to think of this way, a dealership that is selling a respected product isn't going to hire a salesmen that can't sell cars. After all, the dealer needs to sell cars. When a young guy like me, possibly you walks into a dealership, the salesman either assume he knows what is talking about or he doesn't. They have seen a lot of customers and whatever traits they see the most, they base there techniques of off. If they see a lot of asshole teenagers coming in that don't know squat, they make shit up just so kids can go home and tell their parents, the Si is a great car on insurance, and dad it has a V6 for fuel economy! Where as if a educated customer walks in, pulls up in a sports sedan, the salesmen will adjust his techniques to sell him/her a car. If the customer knows a lot, a salesmen will start throwing technical details at the customer and what not. If all of the teenagers/young adults that a salesmen has dealt with have generally not been knowledgeable, how will he/she know that one young adult/teen is going to be smart? Where I got my Si from, the salesmen that sold it to me sells an average of 7-10 cars a week. He is simply amazing, his techniques are great and he is extremely polite and never pushy. He knows when a deal will be made, and when to push and when not to push. For example, I had to make calls to my dad for advice, he would step out while I made the call, and then come back in when I was done talking just to respect my privacy. He didn't say anything about the Si that wasn't true, nor was he bragging about it all the time. He wasn't pushy and let me do my own thing, thats what made the sale. Generally, you get to have an experience with an asshole salesmen at either used car dealership, or a dealership where he/she thinks your not there to buy the car. This is my general consensus on salesmen. If you go to high end dealerships, Audi being my favorite ( they have beautiful woman as salesman, you care more about them and their body then the car your interested in, and yes they make ALOT of sales), salesmen are older more well off and generally more enthusiastic about the cars they are selling. They provide information if you really want it, and are never pushy.
