What’s happened to the car salesman?
Discussion
Today I walked in to a well known London Ford dealership ready to buy a mustang. Went into showroom and waited for a rep to introduce himself, 15 minutes of looking round showroom later and still no salesman. Eventually walk over to desk and just get one word answers to questions from sales guy. No offer of test drive, not even a cuppa? The sales guy literally didn’t even get off his backside to show me round the car.
Is this how it goes at car showrooms now? Is the pay that bad no one gives a toss? Couldn’t be bothered to buy there in the end..

I worked at a Ford dealership for a couple of summers in the parts department 20 years ago and those guys were on it on the forecourt. Was expecting the same but was left disappointed.
You are right about staff numbers and people running about, it was very much like that. I work in sales and was looking forward to having a bit of craic with rep and getting myself a deal hahaha, no such luck, can get better deal online ...

No I shouldn’t be asking for a test drive, the rep should, it’s part of the sales process of selling a car. I sell cloud computing, I offer test VM’s to prospects so they can test latency speeds...same thing different industry. Appreciate most can “have a go” but come on?
- i didn’t need asking twice at a teen disco either ;-)
