So my father and I went to a Honda dealer (Buerkle Honda in white bear lake, MN) to test drive a new civic. Among our family we have a 95, 02, 03, 10 and 2011 civic and a 2005 accord. We were just curious how the new civic stacks up against the 8th gen (2006-2011).
When we asked a salesman if we could test drive a civic he asked if we were planning on buying today. When we said "no, not today" he said that he works 100% on commission and if we are not going to buy today he couldn't give a test drive. Totally baffled by his response we left the dealership.
Now I understand it is a Saturday but there were only a few people there, and most of them were there for service. While there were a group of 4-5 salesman just standing around talking to each other.
I still can't believe we were turned down to test drive a freaking Honda civic? Talk about poor sales tactic. Sales man are all the same...
