So today Im at the dealership for some warranty work. Decided to look at the Z06 (mezmerizing). Started talking to a salesman and he noticed I was wearing a Cobalt hat and he asked what model I had. Then proceeds to tell me they had 3 turbocharged SS cobalts out on the lot. Am I missing something?

 

No, he probably just doesn't know difference between turbo and super. He is a *******!

Turbos are not out yet.

 

eh, probably doesn't know the difference between superchargers and turbochargers......

 

^^What they said.

 

Ha Haa thats funny!
some of them are just salesman that don't read all the brochures! he should stick to selling aveo,s!

 

alot of car salesman dont know **** about a car if it costs less then 35 000

 

chances are he probealy sells caddilacs..or somethingexpensive like that. and doesnt have time to look at a car thats under 35 000.

 

I would think as a salesman they would need to know the cars they sell though. maybe I need to be a salesman.....

 

No, as a salesperson they have to know how to sell cars

If they happen to throw something intelligible about the car into their sales pitch, it is completely by accident.

 

Ya really dont have to sell a cobalt though I guess. It speaks for itself

 

Out yet...more like never coming out.

And I know a few "salespersons" at work that couldn't tell you the difference between many submodels on the lot. They focus on the higher priced vehicles and if someone buys an "econo box" they'll just look up whatever they need to tell you

 

ive been in sales for five years and i can tell u from experiance...u dont need to know what ur sellin...just how to sell it. power words work wonders.

 

True but you would think a $23,000 Car might make a pretty decent Commision check to!
That's what my salesman was thinkin!$$$$$$

 

thats what i was sayin..just couldnt think of the right words.

 

not really.

 

Don't want to start this up again, so just wait until 2008!

 

 

Seeing as we've had many discussions about this, and its obvious why they wouldn't do such a stupid thing. We won't argue, but I'll tell you this. MY SIG DOSENT LIE

Werent you the one that supposedly came up with the "info" on the LNF cobalt anyways

 

Yes I am. And the info is not supposed.

I can get another copy and send it to you privately if you would like. (still have it on my comp)

And yes, I am calling your sig a liar lol

 

no one is bringing up the question of whether or not a turbo cobalt exists, that wasnt the point of the thread. I was just making fun of salesmen who cant distinguish their ass from a hole in the ground

 

Red wing do you work for gm?

 

I Get the point guys but that doesn't make it right. I spent more time talking to the guys in the service department than my salesman last month when i bought mine. i'm in sales to
but i would hate not to be able to tell you something about my product let alone say the wrong thing uknowingly! either way its one of those things that will continue to happen as long as were here!

 

True, I will just PM him the info.

Salespeople are DICKS!

The only ones you can trust are the ones that you become friendly with over a period of about 5 purchases or so. Even then, still be careful.

 

point taken, I tried to tell the guy that it was a supercharger but he kept refering to the brochure that he claims said turbo so I ended the convo by saying its all forced induction anyways.... then walked away and applied for a corvette c6

 

The brocheures say SUPERCHARGED

Even their damn online new car training tells them over and over again theres a supercharged model
