And you wonder why some dealers can't sell a Viper....

[mnc2886]

I don't want to be mean, but this needs to be shared. I'm sorry, but you have to at least care about the car enough to not call it an SRT8.

Shameful, cant fix stupid

[Policy Limits]

It's an SRT10!!!

LMFAO!

[boostsaves]

Wow, at least rehearse what your going to say. If not, at least edit it.

0 F's given.

[slitherv10]

Wow....a coupe and an SRT??....LMAO. Is this guy a baker or something with a second job...Some one should call and tell this guy to stay with baking muffins ...lol.

[Allan]

I would think that anybody representing any kind of car dealership or any kind of car related business, should at least be somebody that cares or knows something about cars.

This guy seems like his last job was in the men's department at Sears or K-Mart selling ties or something.
....and that was probably only last week.

:lame:

It's almost painful to watch.

In 1998 I bought dodge ram sst ,the dealer I went to order it from didn't even know they existed I had to show him it in the brochure ,I guess he had to try being a waiter.

[Glhs110]

At least he knows SRT is a brand! (maybe) last week I was talking to a vendor for Mopar and a lifelong Mopar enthusiast and they both couldn't name all the brands of Chrysler! They both thought SRT was an option...

[plumcrazy]

he has none clue

[Sybil TF]

Shameful, cant fix stupid Sure you can....

[ViperSmith]

I mean, I guess they are at least trying.

[Fatboy 18]

GOOD GOD! Send that to Ralph, SRT Marketing needs a Kick up the Butt. My Partner could do better than that and she hates cars!

[BlknBlu]

and someone edited that too and approved it.

yikes

I sent it to Ralph

[mnc2886]

I think someone needs to get it to Jalopnik. They've been doing the Viper favors so far. Maybe some press that shows why dealers like Roanoke, Woodhouse, and Tomball are selling Vipers just fine.

[viperdan]

He is wearing a nice suit though!! lol

[Allan]

He is wearing a nice suit though!! lolThat is from his last job.

Pretty soon he may be wearing it somewhere else.


Maybe he could be a desk clerk at Motel 6..........


......or the shoe department at JCPenney.

[ViperSmith]

and someone edited that too and approved it.

yikes

Bruce

Don't think there was much editing LOL

[Thawk97]

Man, that's rough to see. Glad to know someone got it over to SRT so they know what's happening.

[XSnake]

They will be getting a phone call per Ralph

[ViperSmith]

You know, it has to be frustrating as the head of SRT seeing this stuff.

SRT has such an up hill battle it seems.

I mean, the dealership is trying, but lord, get it right.

[XSnake]

He is

"...that is so sad!!!!!! & frustrating!"

[mnc2886]

He is

"...that is so sad!!!!!! & frustrating!"

Is that Ralph's response?

[XSnake]

Is that Ralph's response?

Yes, part of it.

[Policy Limits]

He's actually less on point than it appears; since the false new vibe put out there and generally accepted is that SRT is a distinct brand.

Nice try but my Manufacturer's Statement of Original (MSO), Title, Regustration Insurance Card and Municipal Excise Tax Bill all have the car identified as a "Dodge" still. And when you go into or speak with a dealer, it is pretty evident.

Nice! He needs to be aware of what some of these dealers are doing.

This salesman needs to have a tutoring session from Ron Burgundy !!!

[Allan]

This salesman needs to have a tutoring session from Ron Burgundy !!!Yes.
Now that dude could sell some Vipers.

Whatever idiot remarks or confused statements he would make, they would be funny in a cool way, and they would not look like some uniformed guy that doesn't know one car from another.

How much training goes into being a car salesman? Less than the two week course at a community college to be a realtor?

A salesman actually goes thru a very rigorous training session related to how to wear a suit. No just "anyone" can wear a suit !!

[Policy Limits]

Bahaha. Deal a day...short profit on the new model..rape them on the trade and service costs. They got away with so much for so long but now it's pay back Time for the consumer...all with a click and information is everywhere .

For example, see my new thread on a V listed for $20k below MSRP; and btw it's a GTS.

[SmoknTires]

Ok. That was crazy.

[KRATEDISEASE]

Ok. That was crazy.

Oooops .... sorry to all the salespeople I just insulted

[viperdan]

In actuality it's not the fault of the speaker, who the heck did the proof on the ad? Let's face it, most of us never get in front of a camera and he was probably nervous. Why would whoever is making the video not redo it until it was right, they are just as guilty for letting it be if not more so IMO. And most of these dealers aren't focused on selling Vipers like the big boys are, these guys thrive on Jeep and mainstream car sales, not a car they'll sell one or two of a year.

Come on, EVERYONE knows its a brand due to all the excellent marketing and the signs at the Certified SRT dealers!

I was on NADA and Kelly Blue book to see the used values of 2013 Vipers and Neither had the Viper listed under Dodge or SRT,

But NADA had this note next to the Dodge button,

"In 2010, RAM Trucks was established as its own division of Chrysler and was spun off from Dodge. For 2014-2010 RAM Truck pricing and information, click here."

Interesting.....This I was unaware of.

[Leslie]

Can I have his job?

...and the suit.

[nastygts]

This makes it quite interesting when stopping @ the local auto parts store. The counter help will argue with you about it everytime


Sales: " sir; its not showing up.
Us: Look under RAM.
Sales: Sir that's just the model.
Us: JUST LOOK!
Sales: oh.....wow that's weird.

Bring back Tators Dodge, the Wizard would not have made a Video like that!

[KRATEDISEASE]

Yes, very true and insightful !!

They take away the most qualified Dodge/Viper dealership that ever was and instead allow these buffoons in the video to sell Vipers.. what irony.

[Policy Limits]

It's crazy. So wasn't the bailout after the bankruptcy. And then the launch. And now this salesman. God Bless America.
