Title: I heard the funniest thing this afternoon
Post by: Nate on January 18, 2017, 06:28:33 PM: So i was asked to check out this vehicle and what my thoughts on it were.

http://www.gamblinmotors.com/VehicleDetails/used-2002-Chevrolet-Silverado_2500HD-Extended_Cab_Long_Bed_LT-Enumclaw-WA/2917895013

So i called this window licker named peter that works there and asked him about this truck.

- He flat out refused to tell me what their stealership was into this truck for because it was a trade in and it was still going thru their service dept and not officially being posted yet.....
- i asked him if he was stone cold serious about the $18k price tag and he said they were......
- i asked him if the injectors had been replaced yet (truck has something like 145k) and he asked my why that would matter........
- i asked him if the pump rub has been fixed on the transfer case and he again asked me why that mattered......
- i told him that i would come in there right now with $10k CASH and he said that his boss would not be happy with that insult........

.......smh

I've noticed salesmen don't like educated buyers. Makes me want to slap that guy though. Welcome to car shopping in the PNW brother.

I have never thought of doing this, but would think there would be some privacy issue with giving out the previous owners info.
