Yeah I find it very interesting that they, their spouse, or their friend has the exact same make, model, and trim level as the one that I’m looking at on the lot. Most will tell me the same or similar year as well. Looking at a 2021 Jeep Wrangler and guess what, the salesman currently owns a 22 Jeep Wrangler, with all the same options as mine. Looking at a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6 and guess what, the salesman’s friends just picked up a 5 and a 6 a few weeks ago! Every car I’ve looked at so far, just by pure coincidence someone very close to the sales rep has the exact one I’m looking at and they just so happen to love it, and very highly recommend it.
TLDR: Assume they’re lying, and just trying to make you buy.
