I've been in the market for a chrome bumper C3 for a while now. I found a car at vintagevettes, LLC in North Kansas City that had promise. So I made a few calls into them, got some typical information - confirm matching numbers, discuss condition of the car, the ususal. The sales manager suggested that he type up the one page contract and fax it to me because "sometimes looking at the numbers on paper can help". I said fine - send it. Anyway, I sent him an e-mail saying I was going to pass but counter- offerred to pay 94.5% of the asking price. Certainly not a low-ball, particularly considering the car has been in inventory for 6 months. Below is the exact response I got from the sales manager. Needless to say, I will not be buying from these guys:
[/align]"You must fallen and hit your head recently. I want to personally thank you for wasting my time on this deal. I really think you can’t afford this type of car, and you need to be looking for a certified used Honda or something. That way you won’t pay too much and everything works for you, plus you won’t have to worry about a 36 year old[/b] car not working right. Good luck finding a nicer car at this price range; trust me you won’t!"[/align]

 

Wow. Looking at their website... I am not impressed. Even at 5.5% off the listed prices, they look way high to me. Their pictures of the cars won't load, so I can't even get a decent peek at what they do have. $46k for a "driver" 71 automatic convertible that has incorrect '69 side exhaust installed? I think the sales manager is smoking crack.

bill.

 

Sheesh! At that price, sign me up for 2.

Used car dealers......... on par with lawyers. Scum of the earth.

 

Now there's a sales technique that works,insult the buyer!
I've experienced the same bull. [:'(]I say, "don't want to sell to me?, then starve sucka!!!"
