When a guy wants to buy a radish but all that you have are turnips, you do everything you can to sell the guy a turnip before he goes down the block and finds that another guy's produce cart had radishes all along.

 

Nice analogy.

 

yea but if i really wanted a radish i'm not going to settle for a turnip. no way, no how!

 

What does a radish have to do with a car?

 

it's an analogy

 

Thanks trust didnt know that :P But couldnt there be a better one?

 

FYI

analogy n. , pl. -gies . Similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar.

 

I think why that I failed English

 

I never listen to dealers on what not available, they trying to sell the cars on their lot. If they don't have it another dealer will find it for you.

 

See.. what you had was either
1: A dumb salesman who was not informed that the standards are available..
2: A salesman that was going to try to order you a standard in at a higher cost - getting him a larger % of the sell.

The problem with Honda dealerships is you've got good ones, and bad ones. I have 4 or 5 within a 30 minute radius from my house. I will drive to the one that is 30 minutes away over the one 10 minutes EVERY time. The one 10 minutes away treats people like crap, and acts like they don't need to make that sell. On the other hand - the shop 30 minutes away is very warm, nice, and friendly. AND the parts lady is cute. =P
