Look after your care and it will look after you. I told the "Sales guy" who started to join the mechanics ....I will come to you when I want a new car, until then leave me alone.
I am confused, if you could please explain.

While at the Toyota dealership having your car serviced in the repair shop of the dealership, a new car salesman comes to you and tries to sell you a car and tries to buy your used car? I am amazed this occurs and wonder how offend this happens as I would be ****ed-off if while servicing my car, a car salesman would essentially try to steal my car claiming that my vehicle was in bad shape while it is being serviced and try's to sell me a new car.

Seems like a classic case of Arm's length transaction. Transaction between two independent parties in which both parties are acting in their own self-interest. Both buyer and seller are independent, possess equal bargaining power, are not under pressure or duress.

Here at the dealership, both the buyer and seller are the same entity, thus a customer would never win in this transaction.
