Usually we get stuck with the first one that hits the door, but I think I'm really going to start profiling and be obvious about it. I have been plagued lately with those I don't understand, those that have smokers breath or half their teeth, and the other day one with a huge belly that swung out in the open under his shirt tails under his coat when he walked. I mean skin! I'm not trying to be a jerk (maybe I am just a jerk), but it really distracts from what should be a reasonably high level experience and transaction.
It's bad when there is a Dealership, brand, or coach you want but you turn away because you didn't win the salesman lottery. :(
Personally, I have no loyalty to any particular dealer so, right now, the local dealers are just showrooms to me. I'm honest in that I tell them that I'm not buying right now, just comparing different models that I have interest in and, if I have any questions, I'll come find them to ask. When I'm ready to buy, I'll likely simply fax my personal "build sheet" to the sales managers of a bunch of dealers and see what they do on a price when I'm ready to buy. Frankly, almost any dealer I walk in to, I feel I'm more educated than the sales people anyway. Most of the time, they don't even know the specs and options on any particular model...
