These people should have at least some rudementary mechanical knowledge about the cars they are trying to peddle to the unsuspecting public.
It is tragic indeed. An ex g/fs brother of mine who still to this day thinks that GM/Ford/Chrysler are all divisions of the same company, is a used car/Suzuki dealer. Suzuki's by his account, are the most reliable cars sold today

A friends g/f who knows about as much about a car as a new born child does just got a sales job at the biggest dealer around here. To study up on her new job she got a subscription to MotorTrend

Yea, it sickens me that these are the same people that help make peoples car buying decisions. No wonder the Mustang sells so well

Are you sure your friend didn't make this up? People DO like to make up things even when there's no reason to do so just for conversations sake or to make themselves look better.

I find it very very hard to believe that not only did a Mazda dealer tell your friend that a Camaro would be out after Christmas, and not only that he told your friend to actually wait till after Christmas for the car, but that your friend actually believed this.

What's even more unbelieveable is that there's even a sales person on the planet who would turn away someone who is itching to buy one of their cars to their competitors.

Either this salesman is starving and living under a freeway overpass when he's not working on the sales lot, or your friend is feeding you a big heaping helping of a crock of *you know what*.
