Ok, as you guys probably know, I've been looking for an R in the chicago area for some time now. I was browsing aroud cars.com and noticed that they still have the R as a selection for getting price quotes and such. So, I filled out all the crap hoping maybe somehow someone will have a lead on an R. I check my email this morning and this is what I get:

The new 2002 RSX is available! The slower and more expensive type R has

Please call me, Rob Manchester on 847 519 9550 if you would like to order

Grrr.... GRRRRR. I'm thinking of something to reply back that would be really nasty.

 

Dealers will do ANYTHING for commission.
His RSXs are probably not selling too well (fast enough)...
You should go just for the hell if it...THEN give him a piece of your (my) mind!

 

lol... Get him all bad mouthing the Type R... then be like, "So, what was the R like when you drove it? Or DID you drive it?"

 

You can't expect the absolute truth from these guys. To start, I find that most import enthusiasts know more about cars the salespeople. They probably can't even tell you the difference between a MacPherson strut and a wishbone suspension. Do you really expect them to tell you that the 8 year old DC2 Type R chassis is a better overall performer than the brand new RSX? That just wouldn't be good for sales.

 

Its all aboutthe BENJAMINS,when it comes to sales,no matter what kind of **** the shovel

 

He said it to a T. That's what car salesman do they can see u a fully loaded RSX for probally more then a Type R plus they will get Dealer hold back off of it and even make more off it if they sell it fast.

 

i personally just cant wait to i see the rsx-s on the track,then my car will do my talking,and the rsx owners will know,although nothing against you if you bought the car because it has a plush interior,or softer ride,thats your taste not mine

 

Man that sucks!

i'm really screwed though, I'm 15 and reallly like the type R. but by the time I can get a car there will probably be none left.

 

dont worry type r seem to be popping up everywhere for sale,of course when you are ready to get one you wont be able to find one,i understand, for some reaon that is how it always works out>>>

 

I actually like those dumb sales people feeding the public the wrong info. For one, my car is defaced and regular people can't tell the car from an LS... I only unleash the potential when I feel like it and not when I'm provoked by the sticker freeks. I will bow down once RSX-R comes out, but until then we all know the story...

p.s. funny story... I went to the Acura parts dept. today. A guy w/ LS wanted to turbo charge it... and, he said he's getting a Vortech _TURBO_.

 

Tell the saleman you will consider buying the RSX-S when RealTime replaces all their ITRs with it. Or G-stock in AutoX has taken over by RSX-S.

 

Q: How can you tell when a salesman is lying to you?

A: Whenever you can see his lips moving.

 

Sounds good lets ALL Give him a call
Dumbass salespeople

 

LMAO

 

Salesman don't know **** except their next paycheck.........period !!
