    I love that one of the dealers main complaints is that customers take longer because they want to know more about the vehicle yet the dealers don’t know shit about them. Maybe it wouldn’t take customers so long to pick one if the dealer could answer the questions?

      TBF it’s normal that dealers know less about particular models than customers. The internet exists. When you’re thinking of buying a car, you’re likely to do a lot of research about the particular make and model you like. You’re a specialist on that model, while the dealer is a generalist for the make.

      They just work there. For you it’s likely the most important financial decision you’ll make that year.

        I disagree. If you work at a dealership, you should know everything there is to know about the cars your dealership stocks. I’ll give leeway to trade-ins from other car makers, but if you work at a Chevy dealer and you can’t tell me about Chevys, you’re a bad salesman and you’re not going to make commissions.
