Or MPV or B2000 truck for that matter.
As car people it's up to us to be informed about the new car we're interested in buying. Don't count on the salesmen. You may get a really knowledgable one(about the product), but in most cases you won't. When I buy a new car I already know everything about it before I step in to the show room. In the age of the internet how could you not?? All I want from a sales person is to make the deal with me.
My salesman knew nothing about the Sierra except for the typical "this is what makes GMC trucks better than others" sales pitch. I tell them to save it and lets talk money!! The same dealership I bought my truck at I actually walked out of last year. After I made the deal they changed the #'s around creating a higher sale price than negotiated. I walked right away from the deal!! I then complained to the sales manager and was promised that I would be well taken care of if I go back. I did go back (a year later, only because of the LARGE selection!!) and I mentioned my previous experience. THEY KISSED MY A**! I even walked away with a 5 yr 100K miles extended warranty (for free) due to my past experience! In the end I was glad I went back.
If you're a serious buyer it PAYS to talk to the sales manager.
