@Doc, any and every showroom keeps one and only one TD vehicle of a particular model, whether it's the Alto or the BMW 750Li. That is no reason to deny a TD.
Secondly, at "just my age" if he was going to make preliminary conclusions on my TD-worthiness he might as well have done it last weekend instead of giving me a call, and making up tall tales on my visit.
And yes, if in case I'd forgotten to mention, last weekend too he asked for my business card and I had given him the exact same, factual reply i.e. I don't have my own and the car is for Dad.

Just this once, I'm really keen to see how many V6's they sell at INR 28.5L OTR Mumbai. And that's got nothing to do with what happened with me in the showroom.

Are you really justifying their actions? And I have half a mind to see if they have the spheres to put up such a notice outside any car dealership in these times.

I assumed a warm and cordial e-mail on Monday morning would be a more dignified way of going about things.
