Fred Beans Toyota of Flemington

I met this young salesman and as I walked in I told him I just wanted a brochure on a particular car. He never introduced himself by name but took me over to his desk and started the mumbling about "do you want to buy today" and all that junk. You can get enough good advice about steering away from this routine as posted on Edmund's articles and forums. So, as I sat there am older couple at the next desk (no walls, all desks crunched in was kind of funny and cheap) were trying to get this older salesman to just give the Out the Door Price on something they were looking at. He fumbled and mumbled and could not commit. I did not get to see the rest of the saga but I noticed they headed off the lot pretty soon therafter. So the kid offer a test drive. Sure why not. He takes me to an older used model of what I told him I was interested in. Additionally, he showed me one that was loaded to the hilt which again was not what I told him I am looking for. Regardless, off we drive a dinky few blocks around. He's still trying to use his salesman 101 questions on me. I was just letting him run the deal out wondering where are we going in this conversation? has he even really listened to me? Well, back to the lot. Final trick, he said he forgot to give me his business car. Off he goes into the showroom to get his card. I see Mr. Sales Manager closing in on the kid. I am sure they were ready for the pressure play on me. Only thing, the kid did not notice I did not go back into the showroom and I was heading back to my vehicle. Out the corner of my eye I think I saw the death stare of the Sales Manager melting the kid as I made my escape. I found a less painful way to buy. Got the deal all set up with one of the pure national internet dealers that has been online for a long, long time. It will be totally awesome if I have to pick up the car at James Toyota Scion in NJ. They likely won't recognize me and wonder why I am laughing so much.
