I call ![BS](https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_bs.gif)
They state he was terminally ill and was walked into the dealer after a hard days work etc.
I'm sorry but if I was given two months to live I would not be working. I would spend every minute with family and friends before I checked out.

When I went shopping for my new Z 06 I normally would go with sweat paints Yankee shirt 97 Honda beater and when I would drive into most dealerships here in the ny ly nj area dealers would ignore me especialy when I was looking at a new Z ..when I took my 08 vette with me totally different story! It's amazing how you can not judge a book by its cover...

Car sales people are people first, and as such, make judgments, rightly or wrongly. When you are a customer or sales staff, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. That's life, baby.
I was a retail store manager for many years, and one of the hardest things was preventing the sales crew from huddling in a corner telling jokes during the slack times.

I was kidding.
However you are correct about salespeople, and how they judge potential customers. Yet often the salespeople that judge are the ones you want to stay far away from.
I say dress the way you feel comfortable and you will find a salesperson to help you. To dress up to go car shopping as suggested not by you, but another member is just plain foolish.

I'll make another recommendation: improve your reading comprehension skills. Making up comments that were never made just so you can fake a little outrage makes you look lame.

I called the Honda dealer in Santa Clara
at Stevens Creek to find out if they had a CRZ.
They did - I said I would be over and hung up.
I showed up a couple hours later and even though
a couple of sales guys were just goofing off no one
waited on me. I went and sat in the back of the Cross-over
SUV thing they have and called them. "Hey I want to test out the
CRZ and nobody will help me " / 'When will you be here?' /
"I am here now damnit " / 'where?' / "sitting it the cross-over"
Just sayin'

It doesn't matter how you dress. The sales people will try to sucker everyone out of as much money as they can. Your only hope in dressing differently is to either get ignored or attract more attention, but make no mistake, the sales person will always think "I'm going to bleed all the money I can from this fellow".
And they are right to do so.

When are you going to stop making up comments and attributing them to other people?
And by the way, the political forum is farther down the page. Why don't you save your political comments for that forum. They don't belong here. Talk about "off topic".

There you go again with politics..WTF???..Seriously as was noted by several members in yet another thread you are the only one bringing up politics.
Please stop now and don't get another thread locked. And please stop with the personal attacks. At least this thread it is only me you're attacking. I do not run to the mods when you attack me. But someone else may. Save yourself some trouble and stop.
As stated earlier..Let it be..![Thumbs Up](https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
