funny things dealers have told you

[twistedframe]

I was told the dealership would have to run a credit check to make sure I could afford my car before I could test drive it.

'They make an SI coupe?'
'It doesn't have manual transmission fluid.'

I thought that went for any "higher end" type car. My buddy went to three different dealers to test drive an STI, but he had to get a credit check.


That was a waste of a day.

credit checks are stupid
just cuz you have bad or no credit does not mean you cant afford the car
just because you have good credit doesnt mean you can
but i guess modern society is based firmly on credit
which to me just means banks own everything
that doesnt sit well with me
but oh well

"the si has the same engine as the s2000"

they did that to me....and then they made me sign a paper Saying... " If everything goes well, you will buy the car "

So, after the Test drive, I was like.....No im having 2nd thoughts since its not a coupe.

Looooooooooooooooool At Do Not Hate Congratulate Aaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahahahhahahahahha

[schwartzki]

Depends on the car you are driving, my buddy had a Cayenne S in college, and we had no trouble going for test drives in just about any car he wanted. I also have noticed far more willingness to let me drive BMW/Mercedes/Audis without me asking now that I have my Si

[FG2uner]

funny thing: "this mugen wont last through the weekend". lol, i walked into the dealer on a friday night the same day they got it.... and that was 4 months ago, and the car is still there!

One time i went to a Infinity dealer with my friend to help him buy a used STI that they had on the lot.
i asked him like 3 times is this car clean? no mods? he's like its bone STOCK. . .
we got the car . . . three days later my friend came by and was like nice . . you swaped out the springs on ur STI eh?
we were like wtf? its not stock?
we called them back and went to the dealer . . they were like well . . we didn't know that was not STOCK . . its Subaru . . how should we know

when my parents were buying their subaru outback back in 2003, they were looking at the car and they shut the trunk and the dealer says calmly, "can you open the trunk again, my fingers stick in it." an my parents thought it was a joke and chuckled, so the guys like "no, really, my fingers in the trunk." and sure enough it was...

hahahahahahah holy ******* shit funniest story ive ever heard hahahahahaha

[Jardiniboy]

When I asked one of the techs what does vtec mean and what it does. He replied it deals with the idle. Seriously I was like WTF.

[ricetastic]

Dealer told me him and his buddies vtech the car as soon as it gets of the truck to warm it up for the customers. He said the car is broken in from factory so on every test drive he vtecs. I told him that I would rather order one and he said "I understand". As I was doing the paperwork a "delivery" came in and magically they had a brand new Alabaster silver metallic Si in stock!!! Thats my baby. After I got it, I could careless what dumb shit the dealer said, I just drove.

I got a funny story, so i go look at a si at the dealership, was a coupe and had like 13K on it, they wanted 22,900 plus taxes ect, so my g-pa went to another dealership like 2 hrs away and got a black sedan, car i wanted to start with, and i got it with taxes and all paid for 4 under 22k brand new like 25 miles on it when i bought the car, oh and also the honda dealerhip i went to first had a mugen si which is still there, went like 4 months ago hahaha ftl

[ibanez37]

I thought of another one.. FBP Si coupe w/ Navi for 28.5K OTD. I laughed my way out of that dealership, but cried my way out of two other dealers that told me the same thing.. bastards didn't want to deal because everyone would pay that much!

[08blk4drsi]

Wat might as well get a mugen si for that price, thats horrible price

Wow, I hate Subaru, the guy said he doesn't have any Sti's when he had 3 on the lot in front of his eyes. After pointing them out he said I would need a $5,000 deposit on the vehicle in order to test drive it. Thats when I laughed got in my car and drove off.
