I am a CFI (certified flight instructor) and this (God forbid) happened to my coworker Mike at 1800. He lived by repeatedly punching this test flight nutjob as hard as he could in the crotch to give him full control of the aircraft. Obviously, we kicked the asshat out of the facility and communicated his name and infromation to all flight schools within 500 miles. Poor Mike emergency landed. Gets out of the plane and projectile vomits, walks to his car gets in, rolls down the window and projectile vomits, and leaves without saying a word. He did not come back to work for 2 days. Company policy was (informally) changed to fly with non folding blades on our person.

He did like 80...the area i lived in was a steep hill with slim roads and tight curves and you could see the way he steered that he has no idea what he is doing... I thought i am going to die 😅😅 never drove with that wackhead ever again. The second Encounter with him was on a birthday of a good friend of Mine. He and i volunteerd to be drivers for the evening. So he managed to get most of the ladies into his car like: oh you dont want to drive with Raphael he drives boring, drive with me and i thought allright you do you. So we did drive to our first destination and when it came time to drive home the ladies refused to get into his car 😂😂😂 they all stepped into my bmw. He was so pissed 😂😂😂

I think I delivered a piano to the anal Aston Martin guy with the 4 pages of notes. We had a customer order a grand piano. We were told he was very anal from past experience with the salesman. We get to the house and it is a split entry. Meaning when you walk in the front door, there are stairs going up to the living room, kitchen and some bedrooms as well as stairs going down to a rec room, other bedrooms, and storage. He wants the piano setup upstairs just to the right of the stairs. So, as you came up the stairs, you would see the piano. We get it up there and set it up. All good, so we thought Two days later the salesman gets a call from the guy very upset that the underneath of the piano isn’t painted like the rest of the piano. Well, the piano he ordered was a gloss black finish. The underneath of most pianos is either left unfinished OR have a clear protective varnish painted on them. The salesman explained that no piano comes with that and in his twenty years of selling pianos, no one has brought it up. The customer was adamant that he wanted the underside exactly like the top because he could see underneath the piano when he walked up his stairs. The salesman explained they could probably find someone, outside the company, who could do that but it would cost multiple times what he paid for the piano in the first place as wood would need to be cut, fitted, finished and then painted to match. Of course, he said no. So, they came up with a compromise. We would come get the piano, bring it to our refinishing facility 300 miles away and have the underneath painted black. So, we spent a full day hauling the piano out of his house and driving it to the refinishing facility. Two weeks later we spent another full day going to get it at the facility and bringing it back to the guy. The salesman was so pissed he told us not to say a single word to the guy and just be polite if he asked questions. He kept trying to explain why the piano should have been painted etc. Finally, after hearing this for almost an hour that it took us to set it up AGAIN, I said “Sir, it’s like complaining the underside of your car doesn’t match the paint on the top. No one is going to see it unless you are upside down or park it at the top of some stairs and even then most people won’t notice it.”

About the Chinese students. They are typically insanely wealthy. There was a group of them claiming to be students living in a house in my dads neighborhood. Cherry Hills in Denver. The cheapest house is probably 4m. They had at least two cars each. A super car and an suv, smart for Colorado. 2 G wagons, Porsche Turbo, NSX of course. And they were all heavily modified, very well and tastefully too. To them, they are getting the best deals ever cause the same cars cost two, three times as much in China. They were super polite and never revved their engines in the neighborhood. I thought it was hilarious and bad ass. Their college house is a mansion, hahaha.

I was the GSM at an Acura dealership in Maryland. One of my salesmen had a lady that wanted a new 2004 TL. MSRP $32,145. We appraised her trade and she was $36k underwater. She said give me a purchase order and I'll see you tomorrow. The next day she came in with a check from Navy Federal CU for $70k+ because she wanted accessories. I still can't believe that happened. I also sold the Chrysler Crossfire in the US twice in 3 days. The first buyers wife told him that if he didn't return it the next morning she's gone. The wildest part is he wrote us a check for $7,000 to take it back out of his "momma don't know money" account. It had 243 miles. Two days later I sold it to a man in Baltimore for MSRP.

@ I’d argue it’s all relative. If someone can afford to buy their kids nice things, so be it. Some parents have a higher net worth that allows them to be able to do so, in return that money spent allows for others to be more financially secure from the sale of an asset.

Regarding the guy who kept finding imperfections, if he's spent all day taking up your time to look over a car, and he agrees at the end of the day to go with the car that he's looked over, then if he's going to come back the next day with a list of 'imperfections', I agree with your boss...you saw it, you knew what you were getting, you agreed to it, and you went home with it, it's all yours now. I understand you're trying to build a relationship with these people to get them to come back again and again to buy from you, but when you have someone like that who is never satisfied, even after you've wasted an entire day going over a car to ensure its what he says he wants, eventually you have to just say enough is enough. You bought it, it's yours.

Very Nice Story ED! But around 17:20 where you started talking about Chinese Customers. I have a reason why they think it’s a higher price. See A Camry in Certain Countries in Asia cost the same price as a Brand-New Q7,X7,GLE over here. So when they generally see a GLE over there. There minds are automatically indicating a very expensive Car! Owning a Car in Asia (China,Vietnam and the lower class Countries) Is seen as a rich person. A Guy in a Brand-New Camry is seen as a wealthy Man.

The Chinese students at my state university never drove a car that cost less than $60,000. They loved their Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs, Porsche Cayennes and Macans, and the occasional Maserati or Range Rover or muscle car. One guy had a Grand Cherokee SRT8. They never drove American or Japanese luxury cars and they never drove trucks, not even a Ford Raptor. And the rest of us were just scraping by in our beaters and hand-me-downs. The Chinese students lived in the best townhouses, had the latest tech, and dressed expensively (though not well).

listening to the stories of buyer’s remorse did remind me of my own experience last year with a new GTI (not an exotic I know). It was the sixth new car purchase of my lifetime, the others I had zero remorse, this one I had buyer’s remorse big-time, traded in a 2018 for a 2024 and thought I had made a huge mistake the night I drove it home. I was miserable! called the next day and asked to return it, dealer refused of course. within a week I realized it was a great car and within a month I knew it was one of the best purchases I ever made.

I had a customer come in with his wife. At the time I was at BMW. They ended up buying an X5 35 for him and an M4 for his wife bc she was the car person in the family. Exactly 7 days later they came back and I thought well maybe the just need some help or have some questions. Nope, she loved his X5 and had seen that we now had a new X5M with $112K MSRP. Having just bought the M4 she surprisingly understood it would still with 100-200 miles now be a CPO but their condition was that they didn’t want their combined payment for both vehicles to be over $3000 per month. Met them smack dab in the middle at $3115ish if memory serves correctly. Fortunately they were both physicians so were able to swing the deal and make it work for themselves. Unfortunately it was a lease and I’m sorry, I’ve sold numerous leases I felt made more sense for customers that trade often but this wasn’t them, she’d said they keep their cars, but it was the only way to make it work. Hope she enjoyed it 😂
