This was also a car that was over the budget I told him, wasn't one of the brands I told him I preferred, and when I told him I wasn't really interested because diesel is more expensive and most of my driving is in the city so I wouldn't really benefit that much from the better MPG, he kept pushing it and seemed annoyed that I didn't love the car (Or maybe just annoyed that I know how to use Google to do 2 seconds of research on diesel cars). Then he showed me a car that as soon as I opened the door smelled like an ashtray. He claimed he'd put something in the car overnight to get rid of the smell but not only was a skeptical that 1. he'd follow through with that, and 2. it would work as well as I'd need it to, the car had some serious smoke stains so that one was a hard pass for me. I had a specific car in mind that I saw on this place's website but when I asked about it he just said it was "in the shop" and "needed $1300 of repairs" but I wonder if he was just trying to get me in a more expensive car since that one was about $1800 less than the ones he showed me Β tl;dr Athena complains about used car buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yeah but I told the guy most of my driving is in the city so the gas mileage wouldn't be that much better and he still tried to tell me it was cheaper. Like it would probably even out to be about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it would probably even out to be about the same. When I had my diesel pickup, I averaged about 27-28 vs. the 15-17mpg the gas version of the same vehicle got... had the gas truck been an automatic it would have been even worse. I had a good mixture of city and back road/highway driving. Β Now, that can vary with what cars you are comparing and stuff... but for the most part a diesel is more fuel efficient than a gas model by a decent margin. Except VW. Dieselgate killed their vibe.

Well it was a Jetta sooooo... When we looked it up the highway mileage was great but city was about 30 which is good but not really that much better than other cars I've researched. Also the guy was just kinda rude overall and just seemed to get ruder as he realized the high-pressure sales tactics weren't gonna work on us so maybe I'm just more inclined to believe everything he told us was just a lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
