Justin turned to me. "The vultures are waiting to pounce."
I looked back and saw exactly what he was talking about. "Let's get this over with." I replied.
We got out of our vehicle and within 13.5 seconds, we were approached. "SowhatcanIshowyou?Lookingforanythinginparticular?Pricerange?Blahblahblah"
Yes, we were car shopping.
We've needed a new vehicle for a loooong time. Our '99 Explorer has well over 200,000 miles and has needed a new engine for over 3 years.
And I think the main reason we've put off getting a new car was the dread of dealing with the sales people. I mean, besides the fact that we have been broke for well, ever.
So while they were practically begging us to take the first car we looked at for a test drive, we were trying to put them off because we were in a hurry to pick Maddie up from school. We promised to give them a call and set up an appointment if we decided we wanted to try it out.
"So, when were you hoping to buy a car?"
"We planned on doing it next week."
And then the floor manager asked us a question that I will admit to wanting to ask customers that look out of their element. Especially in February. But I never do because I wouldn't want to be that rude. It's just bad manners, in my opinion.
"Oh. Are you expectin' a check?"
"Um, yeah. We are."
And with that one question, she pretty much just lost our business. We will take our refund and spend it elsewhere. Thankyouverymuch.

We bought my truck pretty much on the internet. Hubs emailed sales people and did not give a phone number so anyone could "talk" to us. Worked out pretty good!
I hate car salespeople. I understand they work on commission but still, lay off a little dude!
Can we still be friends if I told you my husband is in the um, well...car business?
Good luck on your new car purchase!
Can't wait to hear about what you find.
