Unprofessional attitude from sales staff at Midstream warehouse

We were interested in a SUV at the Midstream warehouse. I phoned Webuycars in the week before we went there, to formally arrange a test drive, but were told we could just arrive and ask for a test drive. When we arrived there on Saturday, 24 May at around 12pm, the so-called help desk were seemingly more interested in eating their hamburger than in assisting us. Eventually, after fobbing us off to a junior assistant, we were told that the manager is "skeptical" of test drives for higher-value vehicles. And, to our astonishment, we would have to be pre-approved for finance.

Now this is as absurd of not allowing a potential home buyer into a show house unless he's got a bond already.

I have bought several cars in my lifetime, and never in my life have I seen such disrespect and such unprofessional staff. Now FYI to the sales staff: we were casually dressed, but I personally drive a BMW worth more than R1m, so the person accompanying me can actually afford the vehicle, the condescending attitude of the salesmen notwithstanding.

But, OK, lesson learnt. We'll just go to a proper dealer next time, where the salesmen aren't amateurs and disrespectful.
