Listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth.
"Hello, do have a Pontiac Solstice coupe, or are you going to be getting one in soon? I'd like to take a look at one if you do."
No, we don't, but I can order one for you (want to look) we do have a Pontiac G 6 (not buying, want to look at SOLSTICE COUPE). Come inside and I'll get you a brochure (just want to look at car not see GM propaganda).
A simple no we don't, and no we will not be getting one, would have sufficed, thank you.

If you new the answer before you went in,why did you ask the question? Did you really believe they could order you one? Makes you look as dumb as the dealer.

I didn't know the answer, that's why I asked the question. How am I suppose to know what they have in their showroom when I'm in the parking lot? I just wanted to know if they had one or was going to get one. How does that make me stupid? Really, if you're going to insult someone, read the post right.
And learn basic grammar, it makes you look stupid when you use homophones.

I honestly believe that there must be an " English -to- Car Salesman" dictionary out there.................
"Want to look" = "Want to buy"
"Do you have" = "I'm willing to wait 3 months for"
"Any color but red" = " The girls will adore you in this red car"
"$300 per month, tops" = "Only $398.42 per month!"

Ok I give, what is a homophone? Some of two things alike.
From Wikipedia:
A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two and too. Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms.[1] The term "homophone" may also apply to units longer or shorter than words, such as phrases, letters or groups of letters that are pronounced the same as another phrase, letter or group of letters.

Maybe you can help me with this term. Is BITE ME a homophone?

Wow, it got snarky in here, since when did this board turn in to miata.net?????
Good thing I have my Miata in the garage still......
BTW I agree with the OP, I had the same non-answers when I was looking for my Sol. My time is very important to me, just please answer the question asked and don't make me jump through hoops or pull teeth to get it.
