there is high pressure, low pressure,
and then there are some lots that plain have lazy salesman
I stopped at a bmw lot not so long ago, and was looking at that little
sports car they have, now mind you, I was in a truck when I stopped, but I
think a 2002 quad cab "looks" like I should have enuf money to be
considering that car, not one salesman took the time to put his coffee or
cigarette down to come and "ask" if I was considering the car.
And I will be DAMNED if I was going to go ask someone to wait on me lol

Pretty much how I do it these days... ;)
The trick is to try to find a lower-pressure dealer. Avoid the big
automalls, especially the ones that seem to have those big NFL-music
themes with loud announcers on the radio. They're more likely to ask you
what you can afford that to actually let you take a spin in the car.
Though the luxury dealers are usually more low key. I had no problems
taking a BMW for a spin, but got the hard sell at a Subaru dealer a
while back.
