Needless to say the other salesman got my money and I beat two other potential clients to the punch as well. One of which knew the same manager who was on the test drive. The salesman said it's basically them judging my age thinking I'm same punk looking for joy rides and kicking tires.

When I was buying my used C7, the salesman said he could tell I wasn't a tire kicker because I was asking the right questions(like if there are accidents, mods and how much tread is left on the tires). Obviously, with a new car like my Camaro, these questions make no sense so yeah, it's probably harder for dealers to tell if you are a tire kicker unless you are willing to put down a deposit.
(And yes, I ended up buying both cars... Long story, might start its own thread on it)
