Bleach1 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I was driving past a car yard in Wollongong on saturday and noticed a r33 gtst in the yard that had the Kakimoto wide body kit(cant remember correct name). We got into a little discussion about the car which was a bright monza red type colour, i commented that i didnt think it was a standard colour to which he assured me it is but since i wasnt 100% sure i didnt try to prove him wrong. Then the next one, i commented that it would be hard to sell at the $60,000k sticker price in my opinion bcause these days yopu can get a very nice GTR for that price. The rest of the convo went like this: Salesman: No you cant Me: Umm, yes you can. Salesman: no, you cant get an R33 GTR, the GTR skipped a generation, there are only R32 and R34 GTRs. Me: What are you talking about, of course there is. Salesman: Look i have been in the business for 25 years and have been selling nissans since before you were born and there has never been an r33 GTR. I gave up at that point as he was getting a bit fired up. Earlier on he had told me he also has the blue R34 Gtr that ran second in this years targa tasmania for sale but not in the yard because its to heavily modified. Correct me if im wrong but wasnt steve glenney's White R33 the car that came second? I have lost count with the amount of times i have had rediculous conversations like this with car salesmen. Surely if you want to be good a good saleman you should know what you are selling and not be a dickhead.

Silver-Arrowz Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 And I bet he's never seen one of these before in his life Cause he's so full of sh*t.

JimX Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Most car salesman are like this. And the sad thing is, he will probably get close to his advertised price when the right sucker comes along. The stereotype of the idiot used car salesman is self-perpetuating. They talk a LOT of shit and make up stuff on the spot to everyone, and eventually a fool with a lot of money comes by and gets snared. So the tactic works. I guess the buyers of cars in these situations deserve it.
