I can't say how much I dislike dealers.
A Mazda dealer tell me that "rust doesn't hurt metal."
A Chevy dealer tell me that the reason one wheel was making a loud "klunk" when going over speed bumps at low speed was because all of the lug nuts on all 4 wheels were incorrect. I was the original owner and had over 100,000 miles on the vehicle before it started making that noise. He was either so incompetent he believed that, or so crooked he had no problem trying to pass off a bad lie.
I feel like I need a shower every time I talk to a car salesman.
To paint with a broader brush so I'm not just picking on car dealers, I just don't like salesman in general. Generally speaking if I'm in the market for something that costs more than $500 I've done hours or even days of research before I ever show up to buy it... and that's what I'm there to do: buy.
The salesman is just a hindrance to my desired process of exchanging money for goods at that point. This x1000 if it's in a professional setting where I have to obtain quotes. I get 6 quotes and there's 1 winner, but guess what 5 guys are going to annoy me for the rest of my life now? Guess who I can't tell to simply FO and stop bothering me because I have to remain professional?
I've had those guys hound me for years after requesting a single quote. I'd go out of my way to not quote future business with them just because they bug me.
So...Humbug, blah, blah...
