Just had the pleasure of telling a car dealer, they didn't get the sale because of FAUX News

Edited on Wed Sep-22-10 10:01 AM by mod mom

Last night we purchased our second Prius. The first one was purchased from a Toyota Dealer based on availability (in '06 you had to wait for a Prius). When I have had my car serviced at this dealer, they have FOX News on their TV in the customer waiting room. I have complained to a desk clerk and the set was changed to CNN. First time it happened, shortly after the change a manager came by and asked "why was the station changed?" She were told it was because a customer complained. I smiled at the angered manager. The next and final time I went to have my car serviced their I found FOX on again.

This time we shopped around based on models with options. Two dealers about the same distance from us had the model available. The dealer we purchased our 1st Prius from came in close to $100 cheaper than another dealer, when they heard we were negotiating with a competitor. We went with the slightly more expensive car because of the airing of FOX News. I just received great pleasure in informing the salesman who just called from the FOX airing dealership that we purchased our car from his competitor and that although it was slightly more expensive, it was their airing of FOX News that lost them the deal. I asked him to please pass this information on to his management. I told him we were insulted that they would air a station which such disregard for the truth. I told him I was passing this on to my Prius loving friends (many of our friends drive Priuses).

FOX NEWS IS TOAST!!!!  THIS HAS LEGS!!!!!

I'm sure they were able to unload the POS on some other ignorant hippie with too much money, without having to cut the price after all.  Now you're out $100+ for exactly the same kind of POS, and hooked to a dealer whose service record is new to you, this is what comes of making economic decisions based on emotion rather than analysis (Which explains why you were buying a Prius in the first place).

My X sells Audis, and he takes great pleasure in "brooming" the pains-in-the-asses.  This is the type of customer who would no doubt get on the horn to the original saleman, and chew his ear off with that moonbat whiny shriek everytime the oil needs changing or the gastank filled.  Good freaking riddance.

The thread has grown quite large since I brought it over.  Most people are squabbling over the union thing.  :evillaugh:

if the irony of buying a non-union car on Labor Day escapes you, then how about this--

You constantly and consistently post on this forum regarding your precious teacher's union--and how parents' and politicians' support of charters is undermining unions...

You seem to hold yourself exempt from supporting unions when your livelihood is not at stake--apparently your consumer purchases get a pass, but parents, who are entrusted with getting their kids a good education should bow down and entrust what is most dear to them--their children--to union members.

If you cannot trust a union product, then how can you expect parents to do so?

Ouch.

Yep, that dealer was reeeeeeeeeeally disappointed he lost a measly hundred bucks and didn't have to listen to your whining about what they play on the tele!

I bet he was just devastated!!!!!!!!!

Hey DUmbass! Chances are the dealer has a much lower profit margin on those wannabe roller skates than he does on real cars and trucks, and he knows he's gonna make real money from those that watch FOX!
