Test Drive

Took the Smart for a test drive yesterday and knew I had to have one. I put down the $99.00 deposit
The salesman asked are you sure I can't talk you out of it, I said no.
I think this car is gonna be a big hit in the United States.

Did the salesman ask if he could talk you out of getting a car? What kind of salesman is that?

A salesman who knows the car sells itself. You have a buyer who willingly hands over $99 and is willing to wait 14 - 18 months for a car, it's not likely that buyer is going to say "Uh, OK give me bacck my deposit."

My wife and I ordered a Black/Black Passion with Comfort package. I LOVED the Cabrio we test drove, but not the most practical for Minnesota. I did convince the wife to put that on second choice list. I can see it now, it will be December, -32 degrees out, and they will call us telling us that we have a chance to buy a yellow cabrio. I'd do it. Hehe...Glad to be among the smart ones!

Was there an orphan list? Did they offer that to you?

The Salesman knew I wanted the car and knew I had a sense of humor.
When I was in the showroom there were 3 others taking the car for a test drive, one had put $99.00 down before me. I too am a salesman and when I get the feel for my customer I know how I can talk to them.
