So the story goes is the wife wanted a new car. I told er to go test drive some used VW's and find one she liked. She finally settled on the new Golf wagens due to the nice fit of size and price point. We both test drove a couple and she settled on one she wanted. She found one at Millenium Motors here in calgary that she liked enough to get a pre purchase inspection on. I was really sick around the time of the start of the negotiations on price so I let her take care of it. One of our neighbors is a retired cop and car salesman, he offered to go with her. Here is where the **** show started. The sales guy was a complete d-bag. Even made the comment to my wife asking her what I gave her permission to spend. The car had been sitting for awhile, could see it by the total lot rot on the rotors (so bad I am going to replace them). Treated her like crap throughout their conversation like she knew nothing about cars and that this one was super rare (ya sure not like we didn't look at others exactly the same).
In the end she got the car she wanted but not close to the price she wanted. We agreed we could live with it. When I went to sign the papers he tried to push the aftermarket warranty. Of course they are mostly a rip off so I declined. He asked a couple more times and even commented that I must feel pretty lucky or something along those lines. After the way he had treated my wife I almost lost it.
Anyhow got the paperwork sorted out and picked up the car... stereo died half hour later... I didn't even bother phoning them after a google search showed that the 2010/11 stereos died all the time. Just went out and bought a nice pioneer and called it a day.
Moral of the story: Steer clear of these guys if you want a sales guy that won't treat you like an idiot.
TLDR: Don't bother with Millenium Motors when shopping for a used car.
