My previous purchase of a 2016 F150 Platinum i had to show them all about it. They offered me a job.LOL
that's why we have to do our home work before we go shopping for a new truck. the main thing i want from a dealer is a great price. these salesmen deal with a lot of of different trucks and cars. if you know what you want it makes it so much easier.
Yep...too busy going outside to smoke and flirt with the secretaries to research what they are selling...I went for my first test drive today of a 2019 Ram. I found the most incompetent salesman I ever met (they get worse every time I shop). I wasn't expecting much, and I got less. I asked him questions I knew the answer to just to test him. His answers -" I check on that, not sure , I'll get back to you, I think so etc." He could not work any of the screen controls, but told me he worked there a year. He wrote nothing down except my name and phone number. I asked about the cost of the document fee - $ 598.00 he said "I think that's state law" (yeah I'm THAT stupid). When he opened a door so I could look at a back seat the bed divider/extender was laying there. He says I think that is the underseat storage bin ! No wonder we think most sales people are idiots ! Why is it these guys can sit around all day and not know what I can get off here, other forums and the Ram site ? AT LEAST I GOT MY TEST DRIVE. Won't be buying there !
Yes - need to do your homework. I was pretty thorough thanks to this forum and my eventual salesman knew nothing about the forum or some of the problems that "come" from the factory such as the tailgate cable. I missed out on the BUG and for the cost I am spending on the bed rails and line-x I could of had the bed lights. But not sure of the quality of the factory bed lining versus line-x. Do like the warranty of line-x and not sure of what would be required down the road with the factory bed liner.that's why we have to do our home work before we go shopping for a new truck. the main thing i want from a dealer is a great price. these salesmen deal with a lot of of different trucks and cars. if you know what you want it makes it so much easier.
I’ve had the thought that working as a car salesman could be fun once I reach semi-retirement.....”
Oh, I know. I already follow that approach!YOU will be responsible for your own research, and simply pay online for the one you want, zero negotiation...
