Almost
I was really about to take the plunge on a gray '11 STI that Mastro has right now. Weather has been awful, traffic absolutely sucked but I decided to go there anyway, since today was my day off and had nothing else to do. I called up there to make sure it was still there. I made a pretty lowball offer on the internet of $29,500. The manager responded to my email stating if that offer was out the door, there is no way he could do that, but if it didn't include taxes, that was a different story. So I headed down to there to speak to a fat, dickhead salesman. I walked to the back of the lot in pouring rain because the fatass wouldn't offer to bring it to the front for me. No big deal. He laughed at me for offering such a low amount for the car. I told him thats fine, thanks anyway. Of course he tells me to wait so he can talk to his manager. He comes back and says "For you, we can do invoice cost." (Which is on the internet). He said I'll never get a car for invoice price no matter what I do. I proceeded to tell him I've purchased 4 brand new cars in the past 6 years, all of which were substantially lower than invoice. He talked to me like I was garbage and a little kid. He also told me I will never be able to find a 2011 STI for less than 33K for the rest of the year, especially because of the Quake in Japan.. LOL. Needless to say, I will never be going to Mastro again and I'm going to be going out of my way to insure that no one that I know does business with them either.
For the record, its not the price that got me annoyed at all. If a dealer can't/won't sell me a car for the price that I want.. I hold nothing against the dealer and do not blame them. However, if you want to be a dickhead and talk to me like I'm stupid.. I'll make sure they get treated the same way.
Don't be a dick, Dick.
