Yeah, my mother just bought a new van. Of course i went with her, for she knows little more than the engine is what makes the car go... It was a great dealership,and i have always had good experiences every time i've been there, even if tis just looking around or test driving a vehicle. Everyone there was good...no pressure and little BS. I often knew more about the vehicle than they did, so they were honest with me. I knew what the price should be and what a good deal would be. Good dealerships usually have a very good and honest staff. There have been other lots i have been to were they were downright rude and snide toward me. Once they realized i wasn't gonna buy, they basically told me to shut up and leave em alone and quit wasting their time. They were full of BS on the cars and their capabilities. If you find one of these lots... walk away. ALmost all of their salespeople will be like this and they dont even begin to care about YOU.

One little trick i found can take the BS and attitude right outta them. It even makes them a little unconfortable. Its kinda funt o watch those rude little people squirm. Simply know what you are talking about. Call them on every little thing. They HATE it when you know more than them, because they cant lie and trick you into it. Also be blunt with them. Tell them no, and that there is nothing they can do to change your mind. With most of the bad ones, they will get kind of angry and walk away. You will not see another face until you leave the dealership. The good ones will usually keep their distance, following you around, opening cars, supplying some info and answering questions, but with no pressure. They will stand back and keep mostly to themselves. Plus, once they know you are informed, wont take BS offers, and know what you want, they wont even try to stick ya with the window etching, fabric protection, extra amenities that you dont want, etc. If you know what you want, and will make the purchase then if you get it, they seem to bend over backward to make the sale usually.
