I don't have friends, just sales men...

So I'm trying to buy a new car. Nothing to crazy. Pretty simple. I've got a choice between the Chevy Aveo and the Toyota Yaris. And I've got a decent down payment and a trade-in, so I'm doing pretty well.

So my mom's online trying to get a quote for my trade-in, and she gets this e-mail from the Chevy dealer saying he's got this great price on the Aveo and to come in and test drive. Well, I'm not ready to buy, but I wanna test drive both cars, so I figure why not. And it was nice. They were helpful and said they could get me in one at a pretty half-decent price.

So then I go over to the Toyota dealer near my house and what a joke that was! We get there and no one comes over to help us. Not a single soul! So my mom's like, let's see if they have the 4-door out on the lot. I'm getting frustrated, but I go. I can't see a single Yaris though and I'm hungry and I just want to be home. Well, there's this attendant just wandering around, never bothers to speak to us, until I yell out to my mom that I'm leaving and she comes with me. Then I purposely say in a very loud voice that I will never come back and I will make sure none of my friends and family do. This guy hears and walks over to my mom to finally ask if we're being helped. We say no, but tell him we're leaving. As a last ditch effort to get us to wait for them and stick around, he asks my mom what we were looking for. My mom says "she was looking to test drive a Yaris," referring to me. And his classy response: "Oh, is that all?"

WHAT?!?!?!

You did not just speak to my mother that way! PIG!!! So we leave, never to go back....

...but it doesn't end there! The next day, on my way to work, the sales manager from the Chevy places calls at 9:00 to see how I made out. I tell him I didn't drive the Yaris yet, but I loved their customer service, so I'll probably be back in the next two days.

20 minutes later, the actual sales man calls. Says he heard I talked to his boss and just wanted to confirm. I tell him the same thing and he says that he's off on Thursdays, but if I come in then, to call his cell and he'll come and set me up. He gives me his cell phone number and I think nothing of it, because a had a friend who sold cars and he did the same thing. So it's still going well....

Until 3:10. When a DIFFERENT sales man calls. He says that my original sales man had an emergency and had to leave so if I come in tonight to ask for this new guy. I'm like, ok. I probably won't be in, but whatever. I'll deal with this phone call and be fine...or not!

10 minutes later, my ORIGINAL sales man calls on HIS CELL PHONE!!! To tell me the SAME THING!!! And then, this ass hat starts to flirt with me. I say I thought he had a wife and baby, he says he thought I had a man (which I told me I do) but that we can still be friends. He says I do have his cell phone. So I'm a little disgusted and I tell him I'll see him if I come in to buy the car and to leave me alone. But it doesn't end.

I don't answer, but the USED CAR GUY calls at 7:30 pm that night. I let it go to voice mail, hoping they'll get the hint.

But they don't! I get yet another phone call the NEXT day at 10:00 am, to see where I was the night before and why didn't I come in. I finally tell them to stop calling me. I have not driven a Yaris yet, and I'm not making a decision until then and to just LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

I think they finally got the message. I have not heard from them in 24 hours now. THANK GOD!!!

But I did hear from my no-pressure Yaris guys. I hope to drive (and buy, hehe) my Yaris next week. But we'll see.

VROOM VROOM!!!
