WOW just got told off by a dealer

A few thoughts.

First, the dealer was in the wrong when they wouldn't even allow the OP to take a look inside.

When I was window shopping for a 370Z at the Autobarn in Evanston, IL, they had a few Z's sitting around on the show-room floor and none of the salespeople had any qualms with me opening the door and sitting in a Z, even though they had the key sitting in the dashboard (Kinda odd that they would leave the key laying around like that).

Anyway, a salesperson walks over and asks me if I have any questions and I say that I'm only window shopping, but he still offers to give me a test drive anyway. It was late and I didn't what to waste their time or hear their sales pitch so I took a pass.

Same thing happened when I took a visit to Grossinger Autoplex in Lincon Park. I walked in and sat in a brand new Camaro SS and starting monkeying with the stereo, power-seats, sunroof, etc... (they also had the igninition key on the dash) and nobody said a word. I was in the car for a good 20 minutes and none of the salespeople said a peep.

I guess it all depends on the dealership.
