Recently there have been several threads where dealerships have told buyers some things that just are not really true. For example, the thread where the dealer said a grapple would overload a tractors hydraulic system. Or another thread where the dealer said chains were bad for rear tires and shouldn't be used.
Are these dealerships hiring used car salesmen?
Are they even training their sales people?
Are they simply mon and pop operations who don't care?
Do they expect to be in business next year?
Are the big dealerships doing a better job?
Consumers today are much more informed about the products they are looking to buy than ever before. One has to wonder about dealerships that are bs'ing a customer today. Will they bs the customer when it comes time for service too?
In today's internet world it would be to the dealership's benefit to become familiar with what is available and what is being done to thier product by others who are much more savvy that they are. Old timers who have the "my way or no way" or "that's the we we did it back then" attitude will soon find themselves out of business.
