Soooo, anyway, Mr. Birkenstock, makes his way up to the showroom, where he is promptly greeted by Joe Knowitall.
Hi! Welcome to weblowyou motors. My name is Joe, and you are?
Jim...my name is Jim.
Joe: So what brings you by the dealership TODAY, Jim?
Jim: I want to check out the new Blivet's, in the new colors.
Joe: so you want to check out my new Blivet's in the new colors?
Jim: Yes
Joe: So, if I had a new Blivets, in the color you prefer, would you be an owner today?
Jim: well, not today, probably. I will need to check it out, then call my dad.
Joe: so you will check out my new Blivets, then call your dad?
Jim: I think so, but may I see one first?
Joe: sure Jim, they are right over here.
Joe: so now that you have seen them, what color did you have in mind?
Jim: The mango with the elephant skin seats.
Joe: Is that car properly equipped for you, or would you prefer something added?
Jim: I like it, but! I need an MP3 player.
Joe: Ok, so the color is right, you like the elf skin seats, but there is one thing you need, which is the MP3 player....
Joe: If I could get you that car, and include the MP3 player at a superb discount price, would we have a deal TODAY?
Jim: Gee, I don't know. I need to call my Dad.
Joe: Why do you need to call your Dad, if the car is right?
Jim: Because he advises me in all my financial affairs.
Joe: What does your Dad do for a living?
Jim: He is a bartender.
Joe: Jim, what was the last new car your Dad bought?
Jim: I think it was a Buick...but that was a long time ago, prolly 5 years before the Bankruptsy, and that's been 7 years ago.
Joe: So, Jim, not to be rude, or anything, but if your father went bankrupt, and hasn't bought a car for all of 13 years, how does he qualify to advise you on this deal?
Jim: Maybe he doesn't, so maybe I should call my credit uuuuunion?
Joe: What will the credit uuunion do for you?
Jim: They will advise me on the best interest rate
Joe: Jim, I thought you were in the market for a car. Now you tell me you are shopping for an interest rate?
Joe: Well, what kind of gas mileage were you hoping to get out of your new interest rate?
Jim: I don't know, I need to think about it. Let me call me Dad.
LOL, I think they need someone's support, just to go take a crap.
Now, enter the Geek:
Sales call comes in:
Receptionist: Thanks for calling weblowyou motors, how can I direct your call?
caller: I need to speak to a salesman
receptionist: one moment, while I connect you.......
Joe: Thanks for holding, this is Joe, how may I assist you?
caller: I've read Edmunds, compared prices for different models, gotten pre-approved for a loan, and have the car I want, in mind.
caller: can you help me?
Joe: I believe I can....which model was it?
caller: the 2007 GMC Denali, in Fantastik blue, with the custom grill, 24"s, DVD and NAV, which I believe you have on your lot.
Joe: Sir, please give me a second to confirm I have that car.
Joe: I have that car, so when would you like to come in?
caller: I will be there within the hour
Joe: Wonderfull! I'll have it ready for you to see
Joe: by the way, will you be coming alone, or with someone else, perhaps a spouse, or significant other?
caller: nope, just me.
Joe: Sir, just in case I am busy, could I please get your name and phone number, so I can advise you of any changes to our plans?
caller: my name is Julius Cesar and my number is 666-6969
Joe: sounds great, I will see you at 4:00PM
4:00Pm
Joe has Denali parked on the front line, Julius shows up, they take the car for a quick spin, and sit down to confirm prices.
Joe: Is this the car you had in mind, when you called me today?
Julius: yes...it is all I wanted
Joe: I think you should know that there is a trailer hitch on it, which was not in your specs. Other than that, your pricing is fine. I'll need another $292.67 for the hitch.
Julius: Fine with me.
After about 10 minutes of writeup, credit apps, etc, Julius is whisked away to the finance office, where he spends about 15 minutes, then drives away in his new car.
OTOH, Mr. Nerd is still peeing all over himself 4 hours later, with his Dad and his credit uuunion's permission, of course.
