[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 704148, member: 60724"] Zolman, You are wrong. And here is why, taking each of your points seperately. 1) You expected the salesman to be your broker for the best possible price on the truck. That's simply unrealistic. Clearly he is your adversary in that arrangement. It is YOUR responsibility to be a savvy customer and to know what the rock-bottom deal is, and deal towards that...not his. To expect a salesman to do that is unrealistic. 2) After the sale you said you didn't like the tires and wanted them replaced. That then becomes a service issue. You should have been working with the service dept, not sales at that point. His unresponsiveness could have been because he was out of the office, or recognized it was a service issue and hoped you would get the hint. Yes, he probably could have directed you better, but that's really a service issue after the sale and shouldn't affect the salesman evalution of the sale. 3) Again, the salesman is not there to broker you the best interest rate possible. You should be walking into the showroom knowing the manufacturer financing available, and the bank financing available, and preferrably be pre-approved for bank financing. The salesman is there to make the deal, and make the most money he can. He is not there to help you get the lowest cost or lowest financing...that is what websites like edmunds.com and eloans.com are for. If you gave him a low eval I think it was because you have unrealistic expectations of what his job was/is. TJR [/QUOTE]
