i saw this on the news yesterday. i think he said he was unhappy about how much he paid for the vehicle.:screwy: why buy it if it costs too much??:screwy:
I cannot believe the man that typed that has a job, especially a job in the media.Jared said:
Well I must say if his experience was anything like my brief experience with Florida dealerships I can completely understand his reaction. Based on my experience with dealers between Tampa and Orlando, I find that most Florida dealers/ car salesmen are the most obnoxious, ****y, egotistical, money hungry, back stabbing, grimy, *******s I have ever come across! I felt like visiting a few dealers wile I was down there and I could not believe how horrible the salespeople were there.
I stopped at a Lincoln dealer since there are none near where I live and I wanted to take a look at the new zephyr in person. I literally got out of my car and had a person hounding me about trading in my car and financing which I told him I was not interested in. As I walked around the car he would not shut up about financing. I finally turned around and told him. “You know what, have a good day I am done listening to you” and walked off to my car. He then had the nerve to yell “well when you are ready to do business be sure to stop back in.”
No I don’t know if it was because I have an unconventional appearance for that part of Florida (I am pretty heavily tattooed, and have a Mohawk) and they though I was broke or an idiot or both but the treatment I got was horrible. I don’t care what kind of “deal” a place like that would offer, I would never do business with people like that.
The best treatment I actually got in a Florida dealer was at an Audi dealer. The salesperson greeted me politely and did not insult my intelligence. He did not put excess sales pressure on me and hounded me, and actually was helpful when I asked a question and answered truthfully. He wound up not having anything on the lot that I was looking for and admitted that, the other dealers in the area were determined to just talk me into what ever they had.
But yea if that is the kind of treatment you Floridians get when you try and buy a car I feel bad for you, and fully understand why this guy went psycho!
Oh other thing I noticed is Floridian used car dealers are sketchy as hell! Talk about a ridiculous mark up. Every signal dealer there was asking about $5000 more than any used car was worth, almost asking the same price as a new car! Plus some of the places mentioned interest rates to me, and the rates go so high they are not even legal in my home state!

If its the dealer I think it is, i've actually driven by it a couple of times... as a matter of fact, I thought my Dad was gonna be out of a job this morning when I opened this thread. Luckily it wasn't his dealer though.
Crazy. What surprises me most is that it seems like what set him off was that the dealership wouldn't renegotiate a price on something he'd already signed. Now, if they'd refused to repair something for some stupid reason, or he found out his "new" Escape had 100,000 miles on it and the odometer had been reprogrammed, things might be a little bit more understandable.
What?! :screwy:SilverFocusZX3 said:
I feel such behavior should severly punished. I know for a fact that he will never be a useful, contributing member to society... might as well wipe him out now.
what jared said. this was a terrible story. it seems like it was written by a 17 year old. (s)he uses 'hear' instead of here at one point. that was fantastic
anyways, this theater major dude is insane. this is the kind of person that i'm talking about where video games or movies arne't going to make them do stuff like that. it's going to be them just snapping at some point for some reason
hey, the article mentioned him 'snapping'. WTF?!?!
:lol:

Please don't, 99.99999% of the engineers here would fail... horribly and in all aspects.2focusd said:
