next question: Why are they selling cars?
1) they are super knowlegable about all cars. so much so they need to sell them to properly inform people about the vehicles they are going to spend $40k+ on.
2) this is the job the always wanted. they are passionate about it, and want u to get the vehicle that fits YOU
3) this was the only job opening available when they got canned from their laast job. the only thing theY know about these cars is what they read on the brochure on the vehicle right as they saw u eying it from inside. they go by what nissan tells them to say to get u in the lot. they don't car about what car fits u, just how much commission they will make by pressuring u into a car u don't truly want.
you know, its amazing to me, how any time i go into a dealership to talk to a salesperson i end up telling THEM about THEIR cars. explaining what it has and why they don't have me by the balls. and its not just z's.
for instance: i am no all knowing car guru by any means. but last week i had a guy tell me that a mazdaspeed that i was looking at (for my gf) had the 18" wheels on it because it was a "premium package". which he then proceeded to tell me added the turbo, spoiler, and hood scoop.... i then explain, no these are all standard on a mazdaspeed. he proceeds to argue with me for 10 min about why its a premium until i say,"i'll go elsewhere" and left.
i don't care if everyone isnt a car person, thats ok with me. But sales people that will blatantly argue incorrect facts WITH A CUSTOMER are ignorant in my book.
end rant/
so to answer your question, yes dealers will misrepresent cars to get u in the lot to push a pressure sale

Had a dealer tell me that the 2013 solid red he had on the lot is the only red the car comes in. When I told him it was not, he insisted that it was. So I told him to go do some research on his cars before he tries to argue with a customer.
Few weeks later I came by to look to see if they got any more 370Z delivered, same guy came trotting out, saw me and I said "Oh you are the guy that was rude to me, I'll get you someone else". I said "Sure, get me someone who knows their product".
