I am going car leasing in about 2 months, I am pretty excited. Also, dealers ask about color so they can price an actual car out from their lot. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 19:36 22
- that's not what we mean re: color. it's when they ask it almost very first thing, because we're female - before we ever get to the pricing stage. -- nm - b. Jan 26, 19:38 21
  - although I did have one guy say, "I know, I know; but I ask it of men, too." -- nm - b. Jan 26, 19:39 20
    - I see your point too. But it does really help them narrow down the choices on their lot. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 19:43 6
      - I don't want to buy what's "on their lot". -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 19:54 5
        
        I want specific things in/on a vehicle. If they have all of that - and in my color - then they're in luck. Otherwise, they'll get it and I'll wait. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 26, 20:01 4
        
        (why do we need dealers again?) -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 20:10 2
        
        Same reason we need white label marketing. - Beryllium Jan 26, 20:40
        
        I had really hoped the internet was going to do away with them (for the most part), like when Scion started. - JaxSean Jan 26, 20:20
        
        exactly. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 20:05
    - It is one of the first things they ask me too. The conversation typically goes like "I am interested in a Nissan Altima with Navi" - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 19:42 12
      - Apparently, sales people also emphasize cup holders to female buyers as a big selling feature. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 26, 20:18 1
        
        wait, I'm confused... do you, or do you not get groped when buying a car? -- nm - mafic Jan 26, 20:50
      - multiple times, I've been asked before model is discussed - that's the thing. - b. Jan 26, 19:48 9
        
        model?...Busty frontside with a nice round backside. -- nm - budice Jan 26, 20:00

        Oh, if it goes like that then yea. :( -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 19:51 3
        
        the joke on them is that women can often actually be tougher sells than men are. - b. Jan 26, 19:59 2
        
        Haha nice. Yeah, I remember years ago they did the car keys thing.. man that was annoying. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 26, 20:02 1
        
        I would be *enraged* if they did that. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 20:08

      - The Boogieman was moronic, but the other two returnees were impeccable. -- nm - David Jan 26, 18:49 1

Reagan/mafic: I should note that BS tactics like that are why I've boycotted Nissan for a decade now. One dealership turned me off the whole brand. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 26, 18:39 2
- what I like is when they get you to initial some penciled in figures and when they come back its HEY good news the manage approved the deal but he did - zeitgeist Jan 26, 19:13
- hrm, I had a ridiculous experience with a nissan dealer last time. not the usual tactics, though. - b. Jan 26, 18:46

        Plus, surrounded by all these free thinkers. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 26, 20:03
    - my frame of reference has shifted greatly. when it drops below about 18 I think "hmmm... kind of cold, I should bring a jacket." -- nm - mafic Jan 26, 19:39 2

    - The bulk of the snow has always been expect overnight into the morning. - ty97 Jan 26, 18:50
    - really if you've been watching all day long, then all you've done is justified their use of hype....nm - x Jan 26, 18:48
