It has taken me a while to calm down so as to no write this review with to much emotion, I am quite sure I will fail. Last month I drove all the way from Tacoma to look at a BMW X5M that was for sale there. The salesman was, forgettable to say the least, and not very helpful, not very friendly, but also not rude. It was just VERY obvious that I was there for him, not the other way around. I was not there to make a new friend so the 1 star is not for his horrible salesmanship (is that a word?). I had been looking for a white on white x5m all over the country and finding one in my own backyard at a reasonable price seemed to be a jackpot to me, but I was not going to let them know that. Right after the test drive we started to fill out paperwork when the new car manager came over and told me the car was no longer for sale. The owner of the dealership had a FRIEND who was wanting to purchase it. I was stunned...truly. It was as if I was not there. It was at this point that they started trying to sell me a Jaguar wagon...the Sport brake..ie. the overpriced, under powered for the price point wagon that NO ONE in North America wants! He said he would make me an incredible deal. Turns out..it was a press car he was trying to sell me. The cars that tour all the dealerships around the country when a new model comes out. The ones that get beat on by a ton of different people. I looked it up when they had walked off. I will not say that they were rude to me, but I don't think they took me seriously, or valued me AT ALL as a customer. Maybe they prejudged me..dunno. It happens quite a bit, I'm use to it. I won't say DON'T shop here...I just know I won't be.
