Found my Bonneville
Checkin out autotrader...here is the car I want...
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...or=&cardist=89
So I call on it....first I get blown off by the hispanic secretary who stumbles over her english ...tells me the owner isnt in call back in 15...alright I do...I call back...some chick answers the phone not even the owner, secretary #2 and I ask to talk to someone about the car...I get the "what can I help you with" so I tell her about my trade in and bla bla bla....goes off on me about how they JUST sold a 98 xlt Explorer for $5800 with 100k on it...mind you she doesn't even ask what kinda of stuff my truck has IE: leather, moonroof, disc changer, jbl stereo...doesn't even bother asking...I was just like "Ok" then she slammed the phone down on me...
I was pretty po'd about this...this is the 2nd time a dealership has been REALLY rude to me...last time it was a guy in ohio who told me I am "Better off to look for cars in my own state and not waste his time"
I am so tired of being treated like this!

What can I say....the used car dealers here in MI are pretty stupid...I mean I've been lookin at Beretta'* as well....well I found one and called the guy...and he tells me its a 98 Beretta GTP....I had to laugh at him...because they stopped makin berettas in 96 and the car was a GTZ which was only made from 90-94...hahah I was laughin so hard...I think I made him cry because I knew more than he did...
