How bout this boys, i go to the Ace/Stihl dealer by my house last week to see when the 241 was coming out. We probably talk for a half hour about saws and what not. He says nobody has an exact date on the ms241 and that maybe they will be ready come spring time. I was basically trying to make a "relationship" with this salesman. I thought it went good lol.
Well I go in there today in hopes that some parts had come in that I ordered. I told him how another Stihl dealer up north says the northeast distributor has 40 saws coming and that the dealer I talked to could order me one right now. I then told him I would like to get one from him. Well he looks at me like I got 3 heads. He says "I just talked to the rep last week and they said it wouldn't be till spring". Then he keeps telling me its too soon. I was starting to get angry with the way he was reacting to me. I told him, I know what I heard and why don't you look it up or give your rep a call? He said he would look into it and I left.
The salesman there don't know jack diddly about saws, besides what he has learned since he's worked there. He's just trying to be a make believe salesman and acting like he knows his product. I always try to give him a chance just cuz he's close and I go to the store for other stuff. The normal customers that go there are rich people and the occasional tree guy.
After leaving there, all fired up, I give my other dealer a call, the one who I get all my landscaping equipment from…. he sells Stihl, Echo, Honda, Scag, Toro and Exmark. I tell him what I was told about he ms241. He kinda gives me the same answers as the other guy, buttttttt is actually looking into it and will hopefully get back to me by the end of the day. He knows that i don't mess around lolol.
The thing is, I don't want to drive 1hr and 20mins for cuz one dealer can actually order the saw. When there is nor reason why my local dealers can't do the same.
Sorry for the rant, but I had to vent lolol
