I'm a private investor. I manage investments for a living. I was here to ask questions about CarGurus because I'm considering investing in that company.

As someone who is literally there to extend the ownership of my vehicle and invest cash into its maintenance, I am *not* primed to do the literal opposite, i.e., unload my car. If I'm thinking of unloading my car onto someone else, the last thing I'm doing is investing in its medium-term well being. I am telling you, as a customer who was in the service department, that I found it somewhat confusing to be solicited by a salesperson. I was there to maintain my vehicle, i.e., extend its life and buy *more* time with it, i.e., the literal opposite of selling it.  Sorry if the feedback and perspective of someone who doesn't sell cars for a living and is an actual customer makes you this triggered. Maybe sit down and catch a breath dude.

Normal civilians *hate* car dealerships, being in them, talking to anyone in them, associating with them in any way. Car dealerships are not pleasant environments to be in. Used car salespeople are manipulative scum. You don't wanna be anywhere near one. If you were to name two types of people that normal civilians would least want to spend two minutes of their time with, the first would be a used car salesman and a close second would be a lawyer perhaps. I'm sorry. This is just the truth.
