Those are automated emails made by the dealer in his name. He's not sending them.Agreed.
The kid to whom I was assigned at the dealer, a Wrangler owner and ostensibly a Sales Associate, was polite and clueless in equal measure. I decided to order my Wrangler Sport based solely on my own knowledge, and personal observations during two test drives.
I made a mental count of the questions that I'd ask him, and his replies. For seven out of every ten questions I'd pose, even knowingly softball inquiries, he'd reply with "I believe so." That's a mildly pleasant way of saying that one doesn't know the answer.
He added nothing of value to the transaction.
What's worse, or actually humorous, are the tone-deaf e-mails that he's been sending to me, in the weeks after I signed the order sheet and wrote the deposit check as he watched. With that timing in mind, here's the actual texts:
"Dear [redacted],
I am contacting you to find out if there are any lingering questions I can answer for you regarding the Jeep Wrangler you inquired about.
If you have already purchased a vehicle, please let me know and I will take you off of my follow-up list. If you are still in the market, I would love to have the opportunity to earn your business."
-and-
"Hi [redacted],
I know you were in our dealership recently, but we have just received new limited-time incentives that may be of interest to you.
Combined with our monthly specials, this can save you substantially on your next Jeep. In addition, we are offering new markdowns on select pre-owned inventory.
Please give me a call as soon as possible so I can go over these new incentives with you before they expire."
If I have already purchased a vehicle?
Mate, buy a clue.
Oh, I am looking forward to the day I take delivery of the vehicle. My pre-inspection process is going to be fun. I'll make sure of it.
