Russ, I don't agree with comments like this, and I'm not going to razzle you here on this forum, but I WILL point out that if you don't make up your mind pretty soon, you're probably going to be restricted to 2010 models. New, unsold 2009's are probably going to be gone soon. And, with the Camaro, the 2010's are already sold out because of huge demand and low supply.

The part about banning him was made in jest. I don't really think it'd be realistic, reasonable, nor justified to ban him for having not purchased a car already...

That's why he had the stick-out tongue symbol.

My first and only time I was at International Auto was 2003. I arrived with my brother driving my LS430 and was looking to test drive a G35 coupe. Now I have to admit I might not look like a serious buyer since I was 23 and my bro was 20. The salesperson said that I had to buy the car first and then I could take it for a test drive. What a joke. The Madison, WI, Infiniti dealer gave me a test drive, no question asked. Too bad my bro lived in Milwaukee and not Madison. We ended up getting a GS300 Sport Package for him instead. I will never ever recommend International Autos to anyone, really cocky salespeople.

Off topic: I really really miss Milwaukee and WI in general. Don't really enjoy living in VA.

Great story, here's another part I forgot to post, my "sales guy": "You'll have to pay off your car, we don't roll negative equity into any new lease deals... no one does anymore."

WTF??? Try telling Nissan, Volkswagen, or Hyundai that... I called those three just to check, ALL three do...

And yeah, middle of WI winters flat out suck, but it's been 75-84 for 15 straight days now, no clouds, no humidity, 4 more days before some rain... I don't miss Atlanta traffic or summers... we'll be here for quite some time!!!
