Most sales people "trying" to sell their EVO off the lot doesn't know jack about the car. It's so true, just go ask them on all the details thats common sense about evo, most of the time they wouldn't know ANYTHING!

Thank god for PA and having 94 and 100 pump at Sunoco. Plus there is a Getty near where I live that sells 110. I would hate to only have 91.

Yeah, salesmen are the last people you want to ask for technical advice. All they know how to do is sell the car. Nothing else.

don't listen to the salesman about anything.

when i was out at the lot looking at eclipses, i had one of the saleswoman tell me that the new eclipse gt is faster than most porche's.

i promptly found another dealer.

Dealers should have a small requirment when hiring these sales people, "Basic automotive knowledge required!" Or at least give them a crash course.

I was like, wtf? Won't that hurt the engine?....


Also, they have a MR listed at 40,800, when the IX i'm looking at is 31,800. He first said "we just got an MR in if you're interested in that" and I was like "It's about 5 grand more than the IX, no thanks", to which he replied, "Actually 10 grand"

Wow....
