As the OP, I need to point out that I did not go to the salesman on each lot "seeking their advice". I merely had some time to kill and wanted to stop by and look at a couple of trucks and check out the capacity tags on the doors. They pounce on you as soon as you get out of your car. If and when I decide to buy a new tow vehicle I'll know what I need before I get to the dealer. Usually when I want to "look around" I'll stop by on a Sunday when they're closed just so I don't have to deal with the sales staff. This time I needed the vehicles unlocked so I could look at the door tags. I find it annoying that you can't just tell them you're looking with no intention of buying right then and be left alone. They insist on following you around spewing BS.
There is a dodge dealer near here like that. They will chase you down on golf carts. When I see them behind me in the mirror I will stop and put it in park so they see the reverse lights flash. As soon as they see that they think I am getting out to look. I wait for them to get close then I put it back in gear and take off. They will then stop and then I repeat this process all through the lot. They will not give no matter how many times I do it. The kids get the biggest laugh out of it.
