block him. go to another dealership. No reason to deal with a pushy salesman.

Very easy, tell him to eff off and if he continues you'll call his manager etc.

Dudes gotta make a living. Same token this is what happens when you give your info at a dealership. Their job is to have you purchase a vehicle from them. People approach it differently, the smart sales people adapt their tactics by audience.

Nothing to stress over. Go to a different dealership and pretend he doesn't exist. Or purchase a different brand of car. It doesn't even sound like you want a vehicle from there so block the number or ignore it.

Truly not anything to get this bothered by. IMO. Life's too short, go find a car you love, drive it around and come tell us about the experience!

tell him to F off....

''I'll get back to you'' and as said block the number.

I would reply to him with a
Unsubscribe

if he replies, tell him you already bought another car and thanks for his time

Dude is trying to sell you an Audi like that? That's borderline abuse... If it were me, I would tell him that his sales tactics are far too pushy, and I will be buying my car elsewhere, then block him.

I'd just respond to him telling him this tactic is annoying. Then follow up with something about a car purchase is a multi faceted decision, it goes way beyond original purchase price and you are considering those variables; Retained value, insurance rates, MPG, reliability, cost of maintenance, prestige, how you feel in the car, and how the dealer treats you are all factors. His approach is diminishing the last one.

[Sublime00]

I'd send him a low ball offer.

Essentially the lowest price you'd be willing to pay for that car. Tell him you can't come in unless he can send you a buyers order with the agreed upon price.

Who knows, he might give it to you if he wants your business that badly.

Have your way with his wife. It’s the only way.

[infinitekidM2C]

If you just buy a car he'll leave you alone. That's what i do.

[Tommy-G]

I’m more annoyed that he sends 3 word texts instead of full sentences.
I think if you type STOP that ends it. I know these guys have to sell cars but you have to read your customer too.
NOW, if you think you want the vehicle go in and test drive it with him then bounce and decide if you want to try another dealer etc. if you don’t like the vehicle then you know without having 2 people, harassing you…unfortunately this is normal

Why do you consider this pushy?

If you had responded NO and this continued then yes, that's pushy.

This is just marketing and you haven`t clicked unsubscribe (by saying no) yet. I do agree his text are not the best.

I told him I have to test drive few more cars , he is trying to stop me from going to MB and bmw dealership lol

[Alfisti]

You got a sales guy to pay attention to you? That's fucking amazing. They all carry on like they are doing me a favour.

[Frostynorth]

Subscribe him to catfacts

[upstatedoc]

Meow

[Mason Hatcher]

Why is this even a question? Block him

[Pablo Chacon]

Tell him your credit score is a solid 435.

And?

and before you reply - you are the 'dickhead' - you are the one who lied to this guy. If you weren't interested you should have said NO, if you were you should have set terms..

I avoid this by not test-driving anything until I'm ready to buy. When I decide to buy a new car, I research the vehicles, then go look. If I find one I want to buy I get my trade appraised and find out what my out the door payoff would be. Once those things are in place, I'll do a test-drive. There's no reason to waste a salesperson's (or my) time until I'm ready to write a check. You took up his valuable time and now he's taking yours. Sounds like an even trade.
