Default product knowledge

the employee was worthless.

I went to dealership today to check out the Si Sedan, and an accord for my dad. It was just the first kinda look-see, so I didn't bother Pierceman or JohnR yet (both are a little too far for me).

He didn't know why there was a difference in the Accord engines. He didn't know how big the trunk is for either car. He didn't know about the K-series engines, and any specs for it. He didn't have an Si (coupe or sedan) for me to look at. He didn't have any brochures for the Accord.

He did say that the Accord coupe looked better than the sedan.

Some other notes -

They have a BB CR there, and like everyone is saying, the front lip does look better in person. They had a bunch of new S2000s, and they all had the CR rims on them.

They also had a mugen si sedan there - it was being cleaned. Evidently some guy bought it, then had to return it b/c his credit didn't check out. I think they guy had the story mixed up, but it does look nice, I gotta say.

Don't blame the sales person, you should of done your homework FIRST before you came. All you need to know if it drives nice, fits your lifestyle and call matt or john.

You're a professor, you should know better.

I did do all my hw, but it doesn't say why there's a hp differential between their V4 models.

And I was curious to see if he knew any basic info, so I could trust what he was saying.

Are you kidding me? It even lets you compare 2 accords at one time:

The Accord LX-S Coupe offers sporty styling, enthusiastic performance and great value. It's powered by a 190-hp, 2.4 liter, i-VTEC

BC, you should become a car salesman so that you can make ppl look like idiots for not doing their homework before showing up to talk to you.
