So I’ve been shopping for an EV the past few weeks, and the last 4 dealerships I went to, the dealers all said the exact same thing. Whichever vehicle I went in to look at, the sales person would say “Oh, I own that vehicle as well, and I love it! I’d show it to you, but my wife has it today.”
Is this just a sales tactic, or a legit coincidence? I suppose it’s not strictly an EV thing, but this is the subreddit I’ve been browsing recently.
I was listening to Car Talk reruns from the 90’s and they were talking about a tactic where the salesperson would say comment that the shopper’s name was the same as their wife’s name. “Oh, your name’s Laura, that’s amazing, my wife’s name is Laura!”
