Shockingly poor sales skills and people skills in ...
Shockingly poor sales skills and people skills in general. I went in for the "Costco deal"... I really just wanted the pricing on the particular car (Vin and stock number was given to them). I literaly told them I wanted the final sales price nothing more.
They insisted on dragging out the car, taking me for a test drive and generally trying to sell me the car I inquired about. I was told they would give me the sales numbers after all this. After spending an hour being "sold" a car I was already familiar with, they brought out the price which they assured me I would find "shocking". I did indeed find the pre negotiated price shocking as it was $3,000 higher than literally every other dealer.
I told them the terms I would agree to and rather than telling me yes or no, they attempted to get me to agree to purchase the car if they met my price demands. I also noted the sales man's attitude changed from rather curt to outright angry. I told him in no uncertain terms that I would never agree to purchase something based on an unknown price. He again proceeded to demand that i "give them a chance " by, of course, signing on the dotted line.
I then proceeded to show him previously received quotes which did indeed sour his mood further than before. Listen, it's just business; sadly the auto industry has made it this way.
The sales manager also stopped by and informed me that I was being "very rude" in wasting the salesman's time. At that point we were done. I did not, in fact, waste his time. The salesman wasted his own time in attempting to strong-arm me into a purchase when I had indeed simply asked for the final sales price when I walked in the door.
Furthermore, any salesman and management who calls a customer rude, no longer deserves to be in business. Avoid this place at all costs. They are nasty, arrogant, and from what I can tell, quite dishonest. Would never use them or Costco auto again....
Buyer be warned. It's not about the price, it is about the horrible attitude.
