My husband had been talking about a convertible for 2 years. One Saturday in September we were driving down the road here in Colorado Springs and one came by. I made him do the typical “catch up, slow down, look it all over” things..(which happens to us all the time when we are driving).
I said to heck with the chores/errand, we are going to the dealership. You see, he wanted a Solara or a Sebring (gasp). While the sighting of the Sky was hot I took advantage. We went to the north end, where they had 3 base Sky’s on the lot…and were taking Redline orders, we could be #2 on the list…would see one in 6 months - March! We had never heard of such a wait (know better now), and got in the car and went to Motor city.
We were both in jeans, sweatshirts, and looked like a frumpy middle aged couple driving up in our 8 yr old Explorer. Motor city has SAAB, Toyota, and Chrysler all on the same street…we went to all… The guy in Motor city would not allow us to touch the car, or test drive the Sky unless we placed a deposit and did a purchase contract FIRST. Unbelievable. He was rude, interrupted me, and only spoke to my husband. I knew all the stats of this car, wanting it all along. My husband told him to answer my question, and things went downhill. Mind you the sales manager was popping in and out, and they really treated us like country bumpkins first time in the city.
Drove back to the other/North end of town. Test drive? Sure! We ordered the redline, and placed a deposit. No add on, no dealer prep charge other than $75 (reasonable). Best of all, they took my GM discount. Humored me and my bi-weekly call to check on things. Gave me my order number. Could not say enough about them, they have my business.
