... Camry XLE featured on the floor for some reason, was a 4Runner last time.

Seats feel to the touch, but are a little too firm. But definitely better than I was expecting. Heated seats and no sunroof. Overall grade: 0/10 I still don’t like sedans.

They had 3 manual XSEs last time I was here (including that blue), and they all sold within three weeks. Now they have two more on the lot, but both are CVTs... Lame.

Also the salesmanship here leaves a lot to be desired compared to the Lexus dealer... In the many times here I’ve sat in cars, or wandered the lot kicking the tire of whatever car, no one has ever approached me. Ever. If they read my blog on autotrader SLASH oversteer, they would know I like the Corolla XSE hatch!

Sooo bored....

here is something that I dont get....

are you buying? no? then why do you care if the sales guys come to you. Its quite possible that they have email leads to follow and your BL (body language) screams ‘tire kicker’

“In the many times here” so you’ve established you have been there before and not bought shit. so. why spend the time with someone who isnt buying?

You seem upset. Just making a simple observation that Lexus folk were nice even when I rolled up in a 7k car and told them I can’t afford shit. Here they didn’t even greet me when I pulled up for service. You can’t sell anything if you make zero effort.

I’ve met you. I wouldn’t approach you either.

Is it because I dress like a schmuck?

I’ll say it. I really dig that rear 3/4 shot of the Camry.

Last time I went to a Toyota dealership, I was c ompletely ignored, but as soon as I asked a salesman for a Camry brochure, THEN he wanted to talk. Even insisted on a test drive, even though I admitted I wasn’t going to buy a Camry.

Salesman were grounded to uhh, their chairs I guess..

When we bought last year we had been dealing with the service dept, by the time the sales guy came to talk we were taking the key for a test drive.. He didn’t do any small talk, got us the keys and we were off.

let put it this way: if someone who comes in constantly into the bike dealer where I work and has never bought shit, I wont talk to them unless they want to. Why waste my time on someone who has proven to not be worth it? Because in the 5 minutes he talks to you, someone else will walk in and instead of going to that sales guy, they go to the next one and there is a lost sale.

For me, personally, its not THAT big of an issue as I dont have rent to pay. but for a guy with a mortgage or rent, suddenly that extra $200 lost on the sale becomes a big deal.
