To quote Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman,

“Big mistake.”

If they had brains and morals they wouldn’t be a car salesman.   I met a guy at a RV service center that had just recently started there because his dealership had suddenly shut down.  The management had insisted they were staying open (this was around the time Obama was killing dealerships).  One day this guy heard one manager congratulating another for getting a new job, when he asked about it he was told to keep it quiet.  Turns our the managers new the dealership was shutting down in about a week but didn’t want the employees to know – but in the mean time the management team had been out on job interviews…   On one hand its nice to see that even car salesmen get lied to and ripped off.

I am soooo sad to see this story, especially about a TOYOTA dealership! I am a woman. I love my Toyota Sienna, which I purchased myself. In Canada.

Hence we now know why he’s a car salesman.  For the love of God can we please stop disrespecting women in this country?  My wife does more of our finances than I do and the bank insists on me giving my permission for her to speak to them.  That was Bank of America, we now use a local federal credit union for all the banking business we can.  Once the last few CDs are up we’re out of there for good.

Hopefully it’s her mom going to stay home and raise her kid, not a nanny. Also, yes, that encounter would have been annoying, and actually, almost funny!

Who gives a flying about Becky Quick or her car buying habits. Becky Quick is a shill for a group of self serving, uneducated fools.
For Quick to now put this is print/ tv demonstrates her total inability to deal with a situation. If it were me, I would have found another dealer. That’s what mature smart people do. Not take your misplaced anger out on someone else.  For liberals, every grievance in life MUST have an answer.

How immature.

Is there ANY intelligent life in this box of “The Jane Dough ” ?

Fortune would never publish this trivial nonsense unless it is an advertisement.   Brand spanking new mommy’s cars, gas guzzling 18/24 mpg vans that will cost $100 to fill the tank.    And make sure you get big fat cat banker financing too!   I suspect they want to move the global warming deniers’ inventory before gas hits $5 per gallon.

all depends on the rules of the sales floor.  If the sales person is worried about being tied down to someone that’s “just looking” then that situation will occur.  Because he is looking at the percentages not the exceptions to the rule.  If that sales person was female after being on the sales floor for a while she would see the patterns and do that exact same thing. 
The question is how often does a woman in her situation purchase without the input of others.  If its common then an experienced sales person would see not a pregnant single woman but $$$$.  If its uncommon then the experienced sales person sees the exact opposite.  How can it be the exact opposite you might ask?  If you are wasting your time while other customers are buyers being picked up by your co-workers then you have just lost $$$.  

if this was a guy being ignored or at least percieved it as that…he wouldn’t give a shit…but since a pregnant women feels shunned she wrote an article about it…get over your self…get your ass in the kitchen

Wow what a waste of a post

That’s right carsalesman are out to get you. You make it sound like they’re boogie men.So hide your checkbooks!! The truth is uneducated people are out shopping for cars and if the have one bad experience and end up paying $100 more then their neighbor then they feel embarrassed and hurt. So the backlash is to insult the entire industry and the people evolved. I can think of several occupations and industries that have or have tried to take advantage of me but i dont sit around and cry about it. JUST DINT BUY THERE AGAIN!! If I were dumb enough to buy something above value or get treated in a poor manor then I would simply not go back. Biggest liars from my experience: reporters, bankers, insurance brokers, cell phone carriers, mechanics, lawyers, doctors, realtors, teachers and even American idol Judges… So dry your tears, look around and learn to get control of the situation

I can’t even begin to tell you how stupid your reply was. Not IGNORANT……STUPID.  Since you were very insistent on opening our eyes to the truth about “uneducated people” and then flawlessly backed it up by your clear lack of the English vernacular, then I do believe you succeeded in your quest my friend!  BAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!   Firstly, try reviewing your grammar before you post a reply. 1.  “Caresalesman” isn’t even a word.   2. In what dictionary can one find the word “DINT”?  3. The context in which you used the word “manor” is incorrect. A manor is a home or an estate. I do believe you were attempting to use the word manner.  I won’t even go into the debauchery of the point you were trying to make in response to the article in the first place. You’re just an idiot…..hands down. HAIL TO THE UNEDUCATED PEOPLE!!!! LMFAO

Haha! Nice!!!! I have a new word to add to my vocabulary!! Thanks!!! ;-)

To Lionsheart82 a comment U would make to get a reaction…  boooo

But I think you’ve shown that unless you want to look more stupid than the OP, then you might want to just STFU.

 carsalesman are all jokes, I wish I never had to buy a car from any of them fucks.  If i had it may way, they would all be leaving in body bags

I am a man-and this guy embarrasses me.  He would probably have a point if he were a mechanic talking about details of mechanical problems and repair, but even that can be handled in a more intelligent way.  Most (not all) women have little experience or interest in the nitty gritty of car mechanics.  That is o.k….you don’t have to know how to build a tv to enjoy watching one or know what you like as features.  I wouldn’t consider a customer who didn’t understand how to repair a computer to be unworthy of my attention.  I hate stoopid peepul.

Fire him immediately!  Toyota sales representation deserves better people and so do all potential consumers.  And if the bridge has been burned with Toyota products; which are quite good at the moment;  a Honda Odyssey is the next best choice in this market.

One of the best, greatest, smartest car salesperson ever-my pregnant wife and I walk into Torrance, CA Mazda dealership, not planning to buy a new car.  I just ‘have to show’ her a great four door sport sedan for our first child.  Our salesman asks a couple basic questions of us both, then walks us to his inventory and gives us the keys to go on an unaccompanied three hour test drive, he then disappears. We came back in less than two hours and bought the car!  Real salespeople find out what you want and sale it to you-You already KNOW what it is you are looking for; all they have to do is sale you the item at the best possible price for you both!!!

Hey bang on .. when you can’t refute the point being made attack the composition and spelling.. You certainly won the point, as you are a better speller than the poster… LOL what a phony you are.

I was in the car business for many years as a salesman, sales manager, and Dealer in Canada. Let me tell a short story that explains why this happens. I came from a banking back ground.. I thought I could change the business and the image of the business if i treated my customers respectfully and went against streotype. I could not… the customers would not allow that .. example… My sales staff were told to treat women as they would would a man.. that women wewre to be treated as if they could and would make whatever descision on whatever vehicle they wanted. One morning one of my salesman sold a new Mazda to a 30 something woman, as it happens a pregnant school teacher. As the deal concluded she asked me if the deal could be done subject to her husband’s approvalI I told her no problem and we set an appointment for the next day to show the car to her husband. About 4 pm that day I recieved a call from an upset man who demande to talk to the owner, because his wife had been taken advantage of. I took the call and set an appointment for 5 pm.. When the gentleman arrived he had his wife it tow, the schoolteacher that had purchasewd the car that morning.. He demanded that we kill the deal and was told no problem it written on the deal that it is subject to your approval and obviously you don’t approve.. he then proceeded to tell me that we had taken advantage of his wife by doing a deal with her, that she was a woman and had no idea what she was doing.. This educated, bright woman sat there with her head bowed and said nothing while her husband trashed her.. I refunded her money, and wished her well.-
