cised.

I went to the nissan dealership today to test drive an altima. it was absolutely wonderful, especially since they got the car all the way from delaware just for me. the color & handling was amazing, and we're probably getting the premium package, which includes a bose sound system, a rearview moniter, and a moonroof. amazing.
what wasn't amazing was the salesperson. she knew her stuff, but she didn't seem very enthusiastic. The honda salsesperson from a few weeks ago was so nice. charismatic is more like it. he called today when my dad wasnt home. the conversation went something like this.

-hi! is your dad home?
-nope.
-oh okay. i was wondering if you guys were still interested in buying the the accord coupe. did you test drive the altima yet?
-actually, i did that today.
-so.... did you like it?
-um, yeah. kinda. i like the color better than that of the accord...
-oh. okay. alright. have you decided on the car?
-uhhh, i guess it's really up to my dad to decide on the car.
-oh. oh. alright then.

I FELT SO BAD. he sounded so disappointed that my heart went out to him a little. i tried to reassure myself that he's probably sold a whole lot of cars already, and that one car won't really matter that much. even though he was very nice and informative, i guess what i'm looking for in a car doesn't relate to the salesperson.

i need someone to persuade me that
a) one car to a car dealer doesn't matter that much, especially if its a honda salesperson and that a lot more people will buy cars from him.
b) the altima is a whole lot better

i just called my dad to talk about it. he was like "awww ivy, you're so sweet. but really, it's reality. you can't make everyone happy. this car matters more to you than it does to the salesperson. and many people look at different car options and test drive a lot of them."
