Haha I LOVE this thread. I was at the dealership getting an oil change and I sold a Mirage while I was waiting. It seemed I was more enthusiastic than the actual salespeople, but I spoke with more authority, because I owned one. I showed them pics of the time I got 64 MPG from Ottowa to Delaware on one tank of gas!! And took them for a spin in my own MIrage and asked them to bring a CD so they could hear the stereo and then I played Pandora for them. Invited the family members to sit in the back seat and give testimony of their level of comfort. I mentioned that most cars use most of their engines to propell themselves and not the occupants. Now a cross-country trip would cost much less than Greyhound ticket and if they used their car for business it was practically like driving a free car because with the puny gas consumption and the government paying over 50 cents per mile that more than pays for the monthlies on the car! Sold! The dealership simply did the paperwork for the sale.
Also, because of my incessant blabbing, and showing my gas savings, my sis got rid of ger gas guzzler and now drives one of those eye-blinding pink-fuscia metalic ones, whatever the hell they call the name of that colour. lol
Then, I drove my CEO in a G4 for a week when we were on travel. I was derrided by my superiors for soing such an "unspeakable" thing! He actually enjoyed it and felt confortable in it and he's 5' 11". He laughed at the engne saying he had a motorcycle with a bigger engine. But when he saw what we paid for gas for a week's worth of driving, that's when he really fell iun love and said he'd equip two of his overseas locations with fleets of these as a way to comfortably cut costs without sacrificing interior space and comfort. He knows that I drive one. My peers tried to poke fun by calling ot a hamster-mobile or a roller skate but now I have my CEO's endorsement they've shut up. lmao
So, those are my sales stories.
