I called a dealership to look at a Lotus, and I couldn't understand half of what the guy was saying. He was middle eastern or indian. I don't know, sounded like a call center salesperson.
My question is simple. Is there any good way to ask for an English first person? I don't want to come across as a straight up asshole, but I have some questions, and this dude made me go 1. STAY THE FUCK AWAY from the car, and 2. Fuck this dealership.
My questions was simple. The photos do not show the car with a top. Does it come with a Hard Top and/or a soft top?
Answer: I'm not sure, its only shown without a top so I think it might not come with one.
Me So its a convertible without any top?
Answer: That's what it looks like
Me: You cant check for me?
Answer: Well kinda no not really. Its in Indiana not at our dealership in Chicago. Its umm got something wrong with it. Maybe a Transmission issue has to go to a special mechanic that's not in this state so umm were trying to find someone.
Me: So the car has a problem with the transmission?
Answer: Well no but maybe, we have it at the shop and trying to find a mechanic who can work on it if theres a problem.
Me: So I should stay the fuck away from this car?
Answer: Well right now I wouldn't buy it, but if theres not a problem....
Me: See Ya....
That's pretty much the conversation I had, like I said couldn't full understand him, or maybe I could but just didn't believe the answers he was giving.
