I dunno...during those 3 months I only met one Italian salesman and he proceeded to bullshit me:
1) Tried to tell me that a Lincoln Continental shaking in neutral was "nothing abnormal" when I suspected an ill-tuned engine.
2) Told me that they had NO idea that the car had a misfiring cylinder after I had a mechanic take a look at it.
3) Told me that they scheduled the car to get the "minor" cylinder thing fixed 2 weeks ago - I was only looking at the car for 1 week. Oops. Lies: a) Didn't know about it. b) Vibrations normal. c) Already discounted from the price.
It really pissed me off. When I buy a car I search all over for anything no matter how minor and anyone with half a brain would have figured that I'd not ignore the vibrations.
It's not so much that I expect everyone to be honest, just not take me for a total retard. It's just insulting.
Dumbest lie ever:
Did you buy this car at an auction?
No.
Then why is the CarFax report you gave me dated 1 month ago and the recent one that I have shows the car being at an auction this month?
Most Obvious lie:
Was this car ever in a flood?
No.
The why are the seat rails and the support wires on the seats rusted?
Most tricky sob....private seller, gave me a VIN over the phone for a car with almost the same millage, same year etc...just not one that was a fleet vehicle and auctioned off 3 times and invovled in a crash. Nice try though...
Yeah I'm a dealers nightmare...
