How stupid are the owners/managers at car dealerships?
Twice this week I went to go look at different trucks only to find out that the owner of the dealership took them to a meeting or out of town on vacation. Come to find out, they used them as everyday vehicles. I mean, if you're gonna have a dealership and cars for sale, at least have the damn things there.

Bigger dealerships are even more of a PITA. I have called three times about a truck and each time the salesman said they would get back to me with the requested information. I can see that the truck has been there for 64 days, so do these frickers even want to sell the things? Same thing happened at two other dealerships.

Next is pricing. Why do they think they can get away pricing a truck at $18k when there are 5 more of the exact same trucks in town priced around $12k? I can ask again, do they even want to sell the damn things?

Last complaint is about the bigger dealerships not even advertising the vehicles online. What is the point of this? I spoke to a salesman in Monroe last week that said he had a guy fly down from Connecticut to pick up a truck he saw online. I drove from New Orleans to look at another one. I bought my last truck from a dealership in Texas that only sells vehicles online and they do so much out-of-town business that they have their own airport shuttles. They told me they sell between 30 and 75 cars a day, and some days do over 100. A regular medium-sized dealership sells what, 20 cars a day max? Probably close to 100% of people shop online before anything, so why not get them there? What are the chances that I am gonna stop at your one dealership randomly one day and find the exact car I am looking for? I mean, there are probably 150 dealerships in BR, so what makes me just all of a sudden pick yours to stop at?

Are these managers and owners just that stupid?

This post is filled with a lot of bull shite.

Firstly, I believe this may have happened once. Not twice. And this is one of the perks of owning a dealership. You don't have to buy/lease new cars. You should have called ahead.

That post was 100% truth. I spoke to them earlier in the week and told them I'd try to get there on Friday. One made no mention of a meeting and the other made no mention of going out of town.

The one that went to a meeting also told me that his lot did not have many cars because his wife was driving one, his son was driving one, and his brother in law was driving one. There were 5 cars on the lot when I got there

Can you tell me what part you think is bullshite, and I'll provide names of dealerships, the names of the salesmen, and trucks in question? I'll also give you their phone numbers so you can call and make sure I am not lying
