I have a friend that wants to buy a new Sea Ray. We went to the local dealer 2 weeks ago and a salesman met us on the floor. This is the same salesman that blew me off last year when I was upgrading. I was looking at a used Sun Sport and asked questions like 'was this used in fresh or salt', or 'how much HP'. Both questions were answered by "I don't know", and it was obvious he didn't care either. Needless to say, I bought elsewhere.
So, the salesman tells my friend that a new '07 leftover is coming in the next day and he would call him. It was exactly was he was looking for. A week went by - no call. I happened to be in there getting parts, so I figured I would look him up. He was busy so I talked to someone that looked like management and explained....nicely....the situation. The salesperson called my friend back within minutes. But again, the salesperson would call him back with more information. Never gets the call! Days go by and my firiend decides to call and make an offer. He gets the salesman on the phone and he was told that the boat "might be sold"???? What kind of answer is that? Doesn't know if it's sold? No pitch to look at something else? Did he make his numbers for the month?
WTF does he do now?? Should he go in there and talk to someone who gives a sh!t?? I hate to see someone get in hot water, but I look like an idiot for bringing him there, and the dealer looks like crap too.
