What kinda car are you arriving in? When I pulled up to the Honda dealership in my 02 RSX-S that was just fully detailed, they gave me the keys to their only Si coupe on the lot and said "have fun". I was probably 22 years old at the time but I'm sure if I had pulled up in a beater-ass car they would have ridden with me. They've since gotten to know me and will pretty much let me test drive anything I want w/o even having a salesman in the car with me.

I realize that's a y thing for them to do cause who's to say I don't have money just based on what car I pull up in... but hey, that's the game.

Try another dealership... one will take you seriously eventually. Not sure what kinda clothes you wear or what your demeanor is when you go into these places but if you want to be treated differently, you may consider these things if you haven't already.
1. I drive a 2004 TL fully mint exceptionally clean. I dress extremely well because I am materialistic. I wear a nice watch, nice clothes and I show up with a Honda employee in his uniform. Do the math. It has nothing to do with how I looked clothes or car wise its who he thought "had the money" in the situation.

No fing clue what your emplying here. Jackson is one of the most well respected townships in New Jersey. Our football team destroyed everyone for the better part of this decade and due to how overpopulated our township is for being the "place to live" in NJ more people from our schools go to colleges.

So you should watch what you say.



To the other people it has nothing to do with the 1/2 and 1/2 I walk into a Honda dealership I'm not looking for my health if I wanted to just "browse" cars I'd fing go to a Lexus/Mercedes dealer and scope something actually nice. I was there to test drive a car I've been talking to a salesman about getting for upwards 3 weeks.

The people in this forum really need reading comprehension skills =/
