I blew my new gun budget for awile, just wrote a check for a new Harley. I know, you cannot ride a S&W but this is going to hurt! No doubt my sought after M-58 will appear tomorrow!
Well. I did it now!

Congrats on the new HD.
A couple years ago I went to the local dealer to ride off on a new one but after 30 minutes in the place they were still ignoring me so I dropped the idea and bought more guns.

That's funny. I just had the same thing happen to me at a Mercedes dealer. I was dressed like I normally am when out and about. Jeans, t-shirt and OC. I had a check with me to drive home a Mercedes, but after being on the lot for about 1/2 hour without any acknoledgement, I left. I went down and bought a new Jeep and a couple of guns.

I actually had the cash in my purse.
Now it looks more like S&W, Colt and Sako stuff.
I have another dealer nearby that handles Honda and something else. They've always been 101% honest with me and I always feel like I've been treated fairly. If I ever buy another bike, it has to come from their store.

That's extremely funny. If I were in either position, before I left I'd have rubbed their noses in how bad they blew it by ignoring me because I didn't meet the image of one of their typical customers. -Donald

A few years ago my Mom wanted a new Buick. She could afford to drive anything she wanted. I took her to the closest Buick dealer in LV. I was dressed for a summer day; jeans and t-shirt. She looked nice, but probably wasn't wearing the latest fashion. We walked into the show room and she looked at a Roadmaster. She told me that she wanted that one. I told her I would find a salesman. A smallish dark man came over and actually frowned at us. He said, "You know these cars are very expensive." I said, "I'm sorry, I thought that you were here to sell them, not comment on their expense." I took my Mom's hand and led her out. I looked across the street at the Continental Dealer and asked her what about one of those? She said that she liked them too. We went over and she bought a very nice two door Continental Coupe and wrote out the check. She was afraid to drive it home, so she left in my car. I drove across the street and drove right by where the Buick salesmen were standing in the shade. I honked the horn, put my left hand out the window pointing down at the car. When I saw that the salesman that was rude to us was looking I gave him the finger and drove off their lot. I laughed all the way home. After that every time I had occasion to drive the Continental I drove thru the Buick Dealer's lot looking for that salesman. I never saw him again. ...........

Yeah, I just love rude salesmen, after buying my first house I stopped at a upscale furniture store in work clothes and a fat checkbook. Got stiffed by the snooties. Went to another store, spent a huge amount. Took reciept to first store and showed the manager and related the treatment I got on my first visit, was tempted to shove it down his throat! Same deal with a car dealer! I hate to act that way but sometimes ya just gotta!

Model 58 blue for sale on calguns.com. Ain't I mean?
Joni, my girl friend had a similar experience. She had to go to 4 different Harley dealers before anyone would treat her seriously. But eventully she did find one she could work with and is very happy with her new 1200 Sportster.
I've had similar experinces. Couldn't get the time of day from Honda or Toyota dealers. Stopped by the Ferrari/Maserati dealer. Salesman gave me the keys to a $100K+ Maserati Quattroporte and said take it for a drive and let me know what you think... see ya in couple of hours. Go figure.

Many years ago when my wife bought her Audi I received similar treatment from the dealer. We had to meet at the dealership after work. I got there first and drove up in my bright red Dodge Ram Sport 4x4. I stood out on the lot for about 20 minutes and was ignored. I finally found a salesman and asked if he could help.
He asked if I drove up in the Ram. I said yes. He replied, "I'm sorry but you just didn't look like a typical Audi customer."
That should have been the first sign but it got better. The same salesman went into his speil about explaining what a turbocharger is to my wife in terms that even a 4 year old could understand. My wife who has her degree in engineering absolutely unloaded on him.
We dealt with the sales manager after that.

My wife just bought a 2009 GMC Sierra crew cab 4WD SB. I was there for support but she did all the negotiations. I was waiting for the sales manager to direct answers to her many questions to me,he did not. I think they are learning. I was waiting for the "now little lady", never happened. She enjoyed the shopping experience.
