My current car, a Honda Pilot is 8 years old and rapidly approaching 100k miles. So I'm starting to think about a new one. Yesterday, just for grins, I went to my "local" dealership. (It's actually 45 miles away, but it's the closest one) Needless to say, the car has changed a bit in the past 8 years. As I went on the test drive I asked the salesman a few things about the car, including whether or not it has a full sized spare. He assured me that it comes with a full sized one. I didn't check after the test drive because I completely forgot by the time we were done.

I liked the saleman well enough. He was helpful and didn't push me to buy the car right there. He was also very sweet to my dog, who was hanging out in the old car while I did the test drive.

Well... I checked this morning online. The only model that comes with a full sized spare standard is the most expensive one, which is NOT the one I was looking at.

Am I wrong to be annoyed? I just wonder how many other things I asked him about the car are untrue. I think a bit of my annoyance is my experience as a woman buying cars for the last 30+ years and the obvious difference in the way they treat men and women. But still, if you don't know, then say so. Or tell me the truth.

Would you still buy a car from this man?
