You won't believe this but I was going to ask why they all wear pointy shoes

[Mexman]

Lol
Yes, but they are a pain to try and drive in, particularly small cars.

How do you get your suits so shiny?

[cheesesliceking]

Why did you think this was a good idea?

[berlintaxi]

Why are you everybody's best friend when making the sale, then disappear off the face of the after delivery?

[Mexman]

There shiny, cos there cheap, no point buying expensive to wreck them with oil and tear them on a door edge etc..

[sidekickdmr]

The questions will depend, do you work for a huge national chain, backstreet old banger shed, or somewhere between?

Because dealing with after sales dosnt make me money.
Have a separate department for that...its called after sales.

Has a customer ever been so impressed with you or any of your colleagues suave demeanor/slick patter/ general charm/ faux leather shoes (unlikely I know) that they offered themselves for a bit of how's your father?

An independent, but part of a main dealer franchise, so used cars only, no new for me.

Why do you never respond to emails? I don't have time for a phone call.

Why are they just as useless as sales?

Why has the used value of our Fiesta increased by about £500 in the last six months?

I quite often have to polish a car, or jetwash a car , ready for handover, and also show customers how the oily bits work on handover.
You would be amazed how dirty you get, moving cars around all day.

If you sell a new car for £40k with average options how much money does the dealership make and how much commission do you make ?
