Obviously there's people who buy from them. credibility is not a motivation to them, money is! and as long as some people buy from them there's no reason to put any effort!

i've seen a lady walk into crevier bmw in orange county and asked for the 3er coupe. the guy asked the 328 or 335? she was like whichever is higher. i was like LOL

Well that's true. I was thinking of people like us, people who actually research their cars before buying them. But I guess we're in the minority. Personally I can't imagine making such a large purchase without researching first, and relying entirely on what a salesman tells me. But you're right -- clearly there are people who do exactly that.

I've walked out on a lie twice (I wasn't going to buy anything so i couldn't feel that high and mighty) and my father has only done it once, how only once I don't know. Man, that was something to behold. We were shopping for a AWD to take up to the snow, and after hunting around the lot, we found what we wanted but without the AWD, and we explained as much to the sales man who walked up.
"Oh no, this one definitely has AWD, I was just looking at the paperwork." To which my father responds:
"Are you sure? There are no badges or anything that say so."
"I swear on my job it does." He says.
So my dad gets down on the ground, and looks under rear wheels, which the sales guy mimics. Without saying anything, my dad gets up, looks the guy in the eye, and says "you lying b*****d." so dead pan I almost burst out laughing. We start driving away and he calls up the sales manager and tells him he should fire so and so, with appropriate explination. I didn't even remember the guy giving his name or wearing a name tag. I was impressed.

My instances were a lot less impressive, they were something like A) "I know your wrong about that, because apparently I've been looking at this car longer than you have," and B) "I know you're lying about that, and I don't do business with liars."

If you don't like the guy, for any reason, the pitch of his tie, walk away or ask for a different sales guy. Always.

My dad is the same, doesnt take crap from anyone...and always pulls out the "I wanna speak to ur manager".......lol

Oh man that is the same with my dad. He always asks to talk with the manager if it is. Then I remember when my dad asked for the owner of the Dealer so the owner flew in a helicopter to get there. Yes we got the car, After everything was done my dad spit on the managers shoes or pants.
