Went to see the 350Z, took my DV camcorder and....

a salesman admitted that some of the other salesmen took the track model we were looking at and had alittle fun.
"I think the salesmen, they took it out and they ran it pretty well". I said "oh really" sort of sarcastically and he said "yes and it will fly" I had asked him jokingly "How bad did ya'll rag this one out?" and he was brilliant enough to admit it had been de-virginized all while the camera was rolling! I have the video clip captured, its 61 megs. I wonder if I should take this to 60 Minutes on CBS for the next segment they do on car dealerships. Definitely not a good experience. Will not be buying anything from this dealership located in Jackson, MS. Now what to do with the video.....

Why should he tell them that he wants to rat them out? I'm sure the dealership has rules about this. I'd tell the general manager.

As opposed to an unsuspecting customer buying an unbroken in car that was beat to hell? If they are stupid enought to brag about their lack of professionalism then they can certainly handle any possible consequences.

Would you want to be the buyer of that car?

Hoping to make friendship? Gimme a freakin break! It's a tactic all car salesmen use, try and become your friend. Why do you think they offer to buy you a soda when your doing the paperwork? Heck, he may have even made the story up, but most likely not, just to peak your interest and find out more about you... I'm sure he wasn't worried about becoming someones friend though...
