Do dealers not want to sell cars ?

So long short I’ve got approx 45k to spend and want a change of car… spent the day wandering round dealers near me

Honda - couldn’t be less interested to sell me a type R. One in the showroom was apparently illegal to be driven, no push to get me in one. Wierd experience

Ford - asking to drive a mustang v8 was a complete shock even though I said if I like it I’ll probably buy one there and then…I know it’s not a popular UK model but money is money and it was like no one has ever asked before

Toyota - better, but tried to sell me down to a 2.0 supra vs the 3.0 I was interested in. Odd experience

Jag - MASSIVE props, class experience, test drove a p450 F, just out of budget but fantastic experience

Alpine - good but I can’t believe the UK don’t have a 290 to test drive. They didn’t seem bothered which way I went so must have plenty of orders

So yeah, what is with some main dealers ???

EDIT - some good discussion here. Bought a z4 M40i in the end. That dealer took time to chat me through it, test drive and did a good deal. Makes a difference - dealers take note !!!
