I was reminded of something- This is one of those stories that sounds like I am asking for sympathy, but it is not. Just a weird place I was put in: so my BIL works at a car company, which means I get employee pricing. not free, but a fixed price so no need to haggle. For me buying a car is basically picking a model and color- I'm an easy sale- 10 years ago I went to a dealership and on the lot met a young black salesman (call him Joe) who was great- we basically finalized a deal- I came back two days later to finish it- and my salesman Joe called over the sales manager and another salesman (say Bob). I was informed that Bob was my actual salesman because the last car I got he helped me. I did not remember that and felt no loyalty to Bob. In fact I had a vague memory of having a problem the time before. Joe was great. I tried to catch Joe's eye because I was definitely up for saying he is my new guy, I didn't want Bob. But I had a real sense that would be Joe's last sale there- he seemed resigned to what they wanted to do. He walked away to greet a black couple on the lot. I was about to walk out, there are other dealerships, but would that end up screwing Joe too? What would you do?

Ask why someone who helped you with your last car is your salesman for life. Let them know if that's their policy, it makes no sense and if there is credit to be given it should be given to the excellent salesman you had been working with. Not sure why he'd get fired for you saying that. At the very least, credit should be split. If you don't like the explanation tell them you'll just go to another dealer.
