Me: yeah i mean i saw stuff from other salesmen that just made me go "...?!"
Me: but this was just new
Me: i mena
Mike: seriously
Me: holy ****** it was unbelievable
 
Your recap of the events almost seems stupid. I say almost, because I have yet to decipher fully any coherent train of events to make an adequate judgement.
 
im not going to lie to you. i did not understand a word of that verbal diarrhea you decided to write in the original post. so im just going to back out of this thread and pretend that i never clicked in here, because that was 50 seconds of my life that i will more than likely never ever get back.
 
Dear god, what are you even trying to say? All that I could decipher was in your topic summary

Way to go, you got this guy fired for no reason
 
Cliffs:
- Salesman randomly pulls prices out of his ass - prices that are astronomically higher than what is obviously the case.
- OP tells manager what Salesman said re: prices.
- Salesman gets canned (supposedly).

Right?
 
Granted it's not the most easiest dialogue to read, but you people lack some serious reading comprehension if you don't get what he's story is about.

1. OP goes to dealership.
2. sees two identical Scion tC, one brand new with sticker price of $17K, and other two years old with 20,000 miles.
3. OP asks salesman how much the used tC is. The dumbass dealer says 20K- more expensive than a brand new tC.
4. OP is like WTF, complains to manager
5. Manager fires the bogus salesman.
6. OP gets off from yet again fulfilling a day as a sadistic bastard. 😉
 
I've seen dealers try to sell 2 years old cars with 20-30k miles on them for about the same price as new but never for more than new lmao

Could be a plot by the manager to get goodwill from customers; show that he's willing to fire dumbasses on the spot and the customer will think he runs a tight ship.


6 months later, they're getting raped on repair costs.

maybe.
I was thinking more along the lines of the manager trying to calm down/get rid of an irate customer.
 
Seriously, it wasn't that hard to read.

That said... I don't really see what satisfaction you garnered from getting this guy fired. What you should have done is threatened to get him fired and then get an awesome price on the car of your choosing. That's what a smart, yet compassionate, person would have done.

Instead... dude, you're a cock. It's going to be damn near impossible for this guy to find another job. If you would've put the fear of God into him, it's more than likely that he wouldn't have done it anymore. Instead, he's going to be eating dog food for the next 6 months.

You're cool.
 
I don't understand why you are so happy for getting the dude fired, if this is the one accomplishment you are so proud of, you should really get a life. There are many stupid people and uncompetent people in this world, most of them are already miserable, it's not your job to make it worse. Sir, by posting this you end us being as stupid as that car sales man (not to mention that you just had to copy and paste your aim chat) :disgust:
