This cracks me up....got a call a few minutes ago from a warranty telemarketer....they choked on the name of the car! :D Mercury WHAT??? There was a longer pause before she hung up, luckily the answering machine cuts off the long pauses.

You would think that the telemarketers would hire really knowledgeable former car sales people. :rolleyes: Dennis

Have you ever run into a "really knowledgeable former car sales person"? My experience has been that most of these folks really do not have a firm grasp on the products that they sell. Most only have a superficial knowledge based on what's printed in the brochure. Beyond that it is pure guesswork. Maybe there are just way too many models and variants to keep up with.

I am sure that there are very knowledgeable folks out there .... I just haven't met 'em. :rolleyes: Of course, by the time I walk into the dealer's showroom, I have already researched the vehicle to the nth degree. And if I want to know something in particular .... I'll ask my son ... the walking automotive encyclopedia.

I am sure Charlie that you see the rolled eyes. If you have met one, you are one up on me. I have been buying cars for 50 years. Not one. tho I do admit on my first buy I was the dumbest guy in the room. Dennis
