I'm willing to give some things a pass. I know it's part of the script: "I have to ask the next questions: do you want the underbody sealer? No, okay. Do you want the window etching? No, good. Do you want the...?" Or the finance person, "I have to ask, do you want GAP, etc."All I can say is, as much as we hate to have to deal with it, it must be 10x worse to work in that environment. I can't imagine that people act that way in dealerships because they want to, or because car salesman jobs attract those personality types...
I understand they have to go through that script and as annoying as it is, I forgive that.
I'm not willing to forgive the rudeness or dismissiveness to my wife. We've walked out of almost completed sales because of this.
I'm not willing to give the shady practices a pass: not posting the price, VIN, or window sticker online (for an on-lot vehicle). Or the "oh, we added that window etching as soon as the vehicle arrived; the law says we have to, and we have to pass the cost on to you."
Most of the shady practices are at the dealer level, not the salesperson level. The rudeness and dismissiveness is a personal choice.
